As someone who worked for the big blue not that long ago I would agree that they have the capability. The top heavy C-suite might have to get over themselves and their buzzwords and actually try to create something…
My experience as well. I'd like to add we have a smaller team of 4 and we all have each other's backs at any given time. If someone screws up we call it out, fix it quickly, then move on to our nerd conversations about…
In the words of the great Squints - "Four-ev-ver"
"Never half-ass two things. Whole-ass one thing" Ron Swanson
Although I would agree on some days depending on my mood, if you've worked enough places you would know just as well as I do that this isn't limited to public sector software...
Definitely. IMO, plumbing is one of those trades that videos on YouTube seem to help a lot more than an LLM. Code and simple stuff an LLM is great, but anything more complex or getting into heavy installation not so…
Hopefully your parents would have enough sense to recognize the negative effects and give you a healthy dose of playing outside in the woods and whatnot. My kids enjoy technology, but they were cognitively trained from…
Practical advice from a non-social person that forgets names - make notes, even 15 seconds after you meet the person if possible. The name, along with a quick note about where you met them, a feature that stuck out…
I've been around for awhile and anecdotally notice the same. There is actually a really good example just above where someone says this in their comment: "US is basically tech-Hitler". Now there might be a small amount…
Right, it reminds me of this website back in the day, when people really were coding these things as well instead of just generating 100% of it. Being sarcastic here, but stuff like "How I coded Java with Rust" were a…
Unfortunately I find speeding makes me a lot more engaged, only on highways and higher speed roads when there is a lot of visibility and less traffic though, which makes it safer IMO. I do not tailgate, always leaving 5…
It's terrible... I find myself purposefully dumbing down my writing now.
It has been a few years now, probably mid to late 2010s if I had to guess. I'm sure someone with enough interest and tokens could do some kind of sentiment/data measurement in order to back up our anecdotes.
I agree that many assumptions are made, but the concept was presented well in combination with something most people can relate to. They mention in the Acknowledgements section at the end of the post that assumptions…
IBM and American car companies enter the chat, just to name a few...
I don't think picking sides is helpful here at all, but I do agree with you that we are more than likely screwed. The average left or right leaning American has no idea how a bond even works. Experiment - ask random…
This is really cool thank you for sharing.
Almost every conversation I've had over the years goes two ways: "Why do you care so much about <Flock, Ring Cameras, big tech name>? If you have nothing to hide, why are you so concerned?" Or: "Why do you care so much…
I know this is anecdotal, but my engineering graduate program at a well known private university in the NE had roughly 300 graduates, more than half of them on student visas. I feel it's more popular than ever to act as…
I went from big tech to a team of four at a small org. To work uninhibited and with close to zero speed bumps from management has been life changing for me and my stress levels. We all have each other's backs and there…
I volunteered down there for a week when that happened. I think the only thing we used our phones for was a picture here and there. Otherwise, complete darkness. Despite the obvious of it being a disaster zone and homes…
I would agree that the insights provided are little to none. I think this is some sort of fallacy that being being PR'd by tech bros with a lot of skin in the game attempting to come up with some kind of positive reason…
> One of my projects was a vibe-coded implementation of JavaScript in Python—a loose port of MicroQuickJS—which I called micro-javascript. You can try it out in your browser in this playground. I'd like to remind…
I'm guessing the reason is probably the sex allegations. I don't see a graduating class that probably used an LLM for every single homework assignment boo'ing a speech because of AI alone. When it comes to sex…
Wish I had you at my first engineering job at IBM. A couple senior devs there (not all) would get pissed when juniors tried asking them questions. Not only did it take a bit of courage to ask someone who had been there…
