This metric sounds like an incentive to add a bunch of unnecessary lines of code, so a higher percentage of the codebase is AI-generated. I thought we knew better than to use volume of code as a metric. Relevant xkcd:…
I once heard a repair tech say that XPS stands for “eXpensive Piece of Sh*t” and now that always comes to mind, although it never totally made sense to me as I didn’t think they were particularly expensive. I have an…
I’m guessing you meant LLMs, but I choose to imagine that you’re just really excited about LLVM
It’s kind of funny, now when I have a programming question I find myself going straight to the documentation which is a better habit than searching anyway. By the time I would have combed through search results, blogs,…
Completely agree, and I have been feeling similarly. While I did manage to get a job, I have still been miserable. The work is not interesting or meaningful and working remotely is very isolating. It’s been discussed to…
I wonder if some just realize that they don’t like STEM. Maybe they only studied it for family or social pressures, or they heard that engineers can get paid a lot. Anecdotally, I feel like some of my classmates had no…
When I read that I thought about the ability to replicate someone’s voice using AI. How would you know it’s me on the other end reading you my key over the phone? Then again, you would need a substantial amount of audio…
Is it able to run Xcode? I’ve been trying to do some iOS development on Linux and so far my solution has been to use DockerOSX… but this sounds much more convenient.
Ok, that makes sense. I agree, it's problematic that there are so many more juniors than seniors in the industry right now. I feel like many juniors are being left without mentorship, and then it becomes much harder for…
I'm genuinely curious, what is your expectation of candidates looking to get into ML at the entry level? You seem to look down on those who have 1) learned from online courses or 2) used AI on tasks that don't require…
