As someone that is "neurodivergent," I agree. A lot of advice, especially surrounding executive dysfunction, could be boiled down into a single step -- step 1: do not have executive dysfunction. Now, I am not trying to…

I concur. One has to program computers to be a computer programmer. If one just prompts LLMs, they are a software prompter. I think both can fit under the title of a software developer or perhaps even software engineer.
I write organic code in 2026 because I do not have a choice. Which, honestly, I am thankful for most of the time. My employer has no LLM mandates nor do they supply us an LLMs to use. In my personal life, I cannot…
I suppose if one makes this prediction every year, he or she is bound to be right eventually.
Keep fighting the good fight, Internet friend. I look forward to reading your remission comment one day.
Perhaps not, but I wouldn't say Anthropic is too far removed. https://investors.palantir.com/news-details/2025/Anthropic-J...
I like Terra High the best. That pelican is utterly yoked.
Reading your observation only reinforces my convictions to never use these tools outside of a containerized environment.
That assumes one has the chops to get into FAANG. I highly doubt I could pass a basic interview -- even with ample time to prepare. Besides, if I were truly anything special, then I am sure one of the FAANG companies…
One thing I have wondered about these calculations: is one's annual income supposed to be inclusive of all remunerations? You know, things like employer matches in retirement accounts, health insurance contributions,…
I do not make a ton more than that, and I live in the downtown area of the largest city in my southern state. I still am able to save about 30%-40% of my gross income every year, pay my bills, etc.. I think too many…
Not entirely true. I work in "boring" State government as a programmer. I constantly see juniors starting private industry jobs at close to what I make after being with my employer for 10 years straight. However, money…

I am not sure what you mean by "completely separate from docker." I have been using Container for some time now, and oddly enough, it was my first real exposure to using containers. I can say this much though: 1. I do…
I've had some funny interactions with this issue. I sometimes use the voice mode when walking my dogs. I can confirm that ChatGPT responds positively to being told it's a "Good girl!"

TIL about the '0' command. I have been using '^' to accomplish a similar motion for well over a decade now. For those curious, '^' moves the cursor to the first non-whitespace character of a line, while '0' moves the…
I am a firm believer in the saying, "Show me a pill with no side-effects, and I will show you a pill that does nothing." It appears you definitely have received some benefit, but if you do not mind me asking, at what…
