Even if you take the problem seriously as he describes it, it is delusional to imagine that a formal degree would be the solution. Not that I would consider a "licensure required to use a sharp knife" kind of world, even if it wou

Not that I disagree with the folks terrified of so much code being generated within Loops, but as far as it goes, this is a good reminder that if you're getting a LLM to do something, you should probably give it access to your feedback

Yes, a lot of software shops have produced equivalent slop, but I've worked on teams that aimed higher, and they were much more productive over the long haul – not just in fewer bugs, but also in straight up ability to add more feature

I suspect many developers know the truth, at least to some degree. Their boss said "it's only one [more] popup, add it anyway." Repeat ad infinitum

There have been plenty of libraries/tools that got people from "I would like to do foo" to "oh, this tool makes foo possible in under 10 hours, I should start working on foo" in the past. LLMs have done this for ma

There are two types of CS fundamentals: the ones that help in making useful software, and the rest of them. AI tools still don't care about the former most of the time (e.g. maybe we shouldn't do a loop inside of loop every time w

I agree to a certain point, but I think about it in different terms – some people want to avoid any form of disagreement in order to maintain a kind of politeness, but I want to work on a team where people care enough to disagree with each

I found the source code Jade was referring to, and it looks like the author just noticed this thread: https://github.com/nkuntz1934/matrix-workers/commit/0823b47c...

My ability to recall and express things that I have learned is different when writing versus speaking. I suspect this is true for others as well. I would prefer to write responses to textual questions rather than respond verbally to spoken

Correct, all the filtering is done locally in the browser, and the deploy is purely static. If PSA had let me use affiliate links, I was planning to do the work to SSR in a Cloudflare Worker, but they declined and I decided to call the proj

If the college would accept someone like that, they probably don't aim to take their students to a very high level.

One of the reasons I value SetApp so much for Mac apps is that it's curated and I don't have to worry about filtering a bunch of shady or low-quality apps.

I had the same reaction – his list includes washingtonpost.com, amazon.com, alternativeto.net, medium.com, twitter.com, msn.com, etc. He dumped his entire blocklist, which must include a bunch of sites that he finds personally annoying. Her

I was excited for that proposal, but it veered off course some years ago – some TC39 members have stuck to the position that without member property support or async/await support, they will not let the feature move forward. It seems l

I think it is best to strongly reject the idea "best practices will always benefit you". Most best practices that I have been told about were low local maxima at best, and very harmful at worst. If someone quotes a best practice t
