Depends on what we categorize as a coding agent. Devin was released two years ago. Cursor was about the same, and it released agent mode around 1.5 years ago. Aider has been around even longer than that I think.
How exactly would they become "unflushable"? Also, surely if they were excellent candidates then you'd be doing your absolute best to keep them around?
Are the companies running the various AI systems going to release all of their source code and internal research to benefit society too?
He sits on the U.S. Supreme Court and is one of those responsible for this ruling.
Funnily enough, I recently had to help with an issue where a company's payment screen was not loading correctly and instead displaying "Invalid session". They use a third-party vendor to handle payments and display…

Well in a browser extension, you wouldn't necessarily have a lot of people grabbing the comment history. The program could still run as it does, calling the HN API every ten minutes for new replies. The browser…
I had a conversation about this exact thing while on a business trip with some colleagues recently. I'm from Ireland while my colleagues were from Finland, Italy and France. In Irish culture, we talk a lot and seeing…
Not entirely true though. Yes the advertisers are their customers, but their customers need a large supply of the product (the users). In order to keep a consistently large supply of the product, Facebook has the…
My first car cost me €1000. My latest car that I bought in November cost just north of €3000.
It'll be very interesting to see if she can manage to get out of the deal. It'd also take a monumental effort in recruitment and research to make a move like this a success, in my opinion anyway.
I agree with you on a certain level, since there are so many outside factors influencing how quickly you can become a good programmer. It's not as if you are an average programmer for 10,000 hours and then you magically…
Yes, of course this isn't something everyone would want. However, I for one know of lots of people that this would suit down to the ground. People who solely use their phones for calling, texting and Facebook. At the…
The higher cost of living factors into that majorly though. I know where I am (Dublin) it's very expensive to live in the city and I imagine London is the same. That's why employers in those areas have to pay quite a…
"Personally, I know that my productivity takes a dip at 3pm every day. This is exactly where I place my nap, and it has been one of the most powerful ways to bring my productivity back to 100% for a good 1,5 hour…
My first job in the development industry was working as a PHP developer for a nine month internship. Now that I'm graduating I received several job offers, most of them involved working with PHP again. However, I…
I wholeheartedly agree. I've noticed it a lot over the last while where many people in the software industry who write blog posts or contribute to forums just have an air of negativity about them. That being said, I'm…
Very well put and it hits home. I always find that once I cut the first corner, I care less and less about each future shortcut or badly coded feature I implement. However, if I truly care about the project or have a…
I read "JavaScript: The Good Parts" after having been using JavaScript for a couple of months and still found it overwhelming. Douglas Crockford moves through the topics at a very fast pace. However, after a few more…
This is an excellent post. I'm soon-to-be fresh out of university and the company I'm joining had a hiring process very similar to what you've described. They were in constant contact throughout the process, sold…
Unfortunately for you, you can't pick and choose what you want when Google are providing you with a free email service. Generating personalized ads is how they make money from this venture. As the saying goes: "If…
I'm not a very experienced Node.js developer, but I have taken the time over the last couple of months to learn how to use it. I find working without CoffeeScript to be much more productive. Then again, that may change…
The language barrier is definitely a problem for countries like Germany and it's startup industry (at least looking in from the outside it is). While they are one of the safer economies in Europe, and seem to be holding…
A month studying JavaScript and jQuery (lots of employers place specific emphasis on this) will give you a decent knowledge of the language. Definitely enough to put it on your resume and use it competently.
You could certainly learn how the general syntax of the language and how things like prototyping and callbacks work. Why limit it to a month though? Learn the basics, develop an understanding of how it works and then…
