Who cares? Those who measure actual impact instead of showing off. Focus on what matters is my only advice. Hint: it’s not your editor.

Developer productivity is not and never was bottlenecked by their tools. One snap of the fingers in one of the many layers above us and million dollar projects succeed or fail. We are always a fancy dinner or business relation gone sour awa

It’s sad to not last forever? That’s an interesting thought. I understand, don’t get me wrong, but it’s completely unnatural in so many ways.

Always refuse them, close to zero problems. I can’t think of a technical reason a website without auth needs cookies to function.

This anti-learning attitude is common, but I don’t find it admirable. To me this is like a dev saying “screw Git, I just want to do console.log(). All this complexity is sabotaging my productivity.” Modern jobs, even health care, require le

Businesses are some kind of feudal leftovers that refuse to die. The serfs not only accept it, they actively defend it. Meanwhile the billionaires lean back and smile. I don’t see why nation states should be democracies, but “businesses” sh

As always, tech people think tech is the important part of tech.

Yes and doing that requires a solid non-stop and consistent 3 working LoC per minute for six hours straight. I don’t think a human is capable of processing that kind of volume unless it is pure boilerplate. I can see LLM’s playing a role he

There is something off here. - 1000+ applications, 2 interviews. Holy batman. That’s what, 4+ applications a (work)day for a year straight? How do you even find these positions. - “Air tight”, god-tier CV. - Only doing “PR”s. - Handling “se

Charity? I sympathize somewhat, but I’m also disgusted by the utter lack of respect for government and societal service in general. That shit means something. I wish to believe there are still people that don’t care about making Yet Another

Capitalism is a brutal, fatally flawed system that just so happens to work pretty well depending on which side of the game you are on. Sometimes, everybody sort of gets by on it, but that requires sustained heavy-handed out-of-band correcti

I’d be interested in a practical definition of logic truly separated from design in the context of web tech. The two are so ridiculously intertwined. It’s already a problem within CSS, where layout systems and styling are mixed. Flexbox a

That’s cool, but I meant to imply it is kind of backwards to make a NOT gate with a component that itself is fundamentally built out of a NOT gate.

Where do you think the N in NOR and NAND come from?

Look, if I have to give up my shit to get where I want I’ll damn well make sure you will too . If there is anything I hate more than following arbitrary rules it’s dealing with people that think they are above them. I think it’s less “su

You have kids that want to snuggle? I wonder what that’s like.

I don’t understand what these two completely orthogonal concepts do together. I’m this though. I’m a raging introvert and I am married. But no, I am not loyal to my wife because my lifestyle doesn’t offer me enough alternatives. That’s F’ed

I tend to call these things “distributed monoliths” assuming the camera, ML and laser driver are integral to the functionality of the system. There is no hard rule that I know of but my heuristic is something like “can I bring instances up

Sure, we use a couple of Hanks for that. Sherley and Melinda will catch the bullets just fine.

So with suitable technology we should have our womens’ armies ready to march in no time. Can’t wait. Gender neutrality is a worthy and lofty goal. I hear they are better communicators too. I see no downsides.

I agree, such blatant discrimination. I fully expect the feminist garde to be on the streets protesting this awful move.

This is the only thing they can do. They don’t produce anything. They buy. Their AI is a joke and all they earn money on is ads. MS is beating them on the AI front, hard, and they have multiple interesting avenues like having an actual OS

I have no ADHD but my wife, I know.., keeps me in check in ways I was unable to myself. It's not that she hates what I'm doing or nags about it, it's just that she'll ask the hard questions. The ones I avoid like the pla

My brother has a pretty intense case of ADHD and is nothing like this. Some of my in-laws too and they also have no problems with weird hobbies and collecting random stuff. They certainly are no "makers". They do have trouble hold

Why though? Quantity based pricing is not hard to express in a table. What is so different about CapEx and a bag of peanuts that defies even providing an approximate range? Number of zeroes, no? I don’t like it, but it is the norm sadly. It

I generally dislike these "turbo roundabouts" the first time I encounter them. Always a second of confusion the first time, which is definitely not something I want to feel while driving. That said, if I enter one I am already fam

This might be a threat, but I see weakness: Google is faltering. I haven't been impressed by them - and especially what they produce (their research looks cool, but is not going places) - in years and they are holding on for dear lif

Someone told me their job was mainly checking Word documents for discrepancies. Basically diffing them, but manually, by reading. I showed them how you could diff them automatically. This was not appreciated. “Cool, IT dude, now I lost my j
