I think people are coping. Software engineering has only gotten easier over time. Fifteen years ago, knowing how to code made you seem like a wizard, and learning was tough - you had to read books, truly understand…
Thats fair! I just don't agree with the readable part and thinking. I personally get tired having to look at all the archaic boilerplate to find the actual logic that I want to reason about.
Cloudflare have always had this. I wonder how this will affect them.
It is a total clusterfuck how you even get access to the API. So people pay because they want a convenient way to get access to GPT-4.
I am still perplexed that people accept the UX of Discord. It is just so horrible that I can not get myself to use it even if I am looking for a place to engage with communities. There are way too many channels which…
That is your workflow. Many places have replaced email with Slack. For DMs people might not care how good the message is but for public channels where there are many recipients I am sure people care about the quality of…
That has always been the case. That is why I also believe coding will be forever changed with these models. We won't be copy/pasting into a chat-interface but this will be integrated everywhere making it a completely…
Perhaps I was not clear. I meant google loosing ground in AI is overblown not ChatGPT itself.
I think it is overblown. ChatGPT was released about a few months ago and google have already created their own alternative albeit a worse version. I would say that is pretty good for an enterprise organisation to react…
Usually a problem can be split into many parts. Are you not able to get ChatGPT to solve some of them individually without understanding your work domain?
I always thought one of the drawbacks of working in america compared to europe was that there was less of a safety net. However, with all these news about layoffs I see that most tech companies provide a severance…
Sure, if you are only using thinking shortsighted. I doubt they consider what effect remote has on retention and company reputation and how those factors could affect productivity.
Even if the data was there. Is it worth it if employees are much happier with remote work? It should really not be a binary question whether the productivity is higher or lower.
For someone considering trying Neovim, the main obstacle is the abundance of GitHub projects promising an effortless way to get started. This abundance can lead to analysis paralysis, making it challenging to choose a…
I may not be using the term feminism accurately, but what I mean is that men were told that any progress made for women would also be beneficial for them. While I fully support gender equality and fairness, it doesn't…
I don't think the codebases I have worked on can be considered large as such. However, to me, they were actually easier to change/refactor. There was less boilerplate, and more concrete implementation than what I see in…

Yes, it stopped when Fortnite was getting traction. It was a small team and development was not going well anyways.
Kinda similar, you oftentimes don't need to use an `else` statement. It is way overused and leads to code with too much indentation.
I think you would be surprised how PRs work in many companies. We are encouraged to write small PRs and many will have automated tools that points to a Jira ticket in the description or as a comment. For this reason…
I am not in the US but where I am from the contract usually says you are not allowed to work for another employer unless approved by your current employee. All the stories of overemployed get me kinda envious because I…
If you are just looking for brilliant people, then there is Silvio Micali founder of Algorand. He has Turing Award.
I wholeheartedly agree about developing/debugging being harder. People advocating for Serverless secretly ignore this and focus on scaleability and pricing. I have worked at two places using Serverless and in those…
Never heard of her before now. Surprising given the impact of assembly.
Because barrier to entry is much lower now than it was for you when you entered the field. What we do is not that difficult and with the advent of youtube, best practices, and better tools it has become much easier than…
