No doubt the feature that would imply analytics doesn’t function until terms are accepted doesn’t work as intended. It’s not like it’s going to be a priority to test before going to production.

It almost feels like ages ago when the promise of AI was to be a sponge of knowledge, to help us dig in quicker and speed up the search process of looking up implementations on Google / Stackoverflow because the expectation was that we

otel is amazing and when thoughtfully instrumented, turns out, you can opt out of auto instrumentation btw, it provides a standard that is useful, well maintained, portable to enterprise or self hosted. It’s modular, but the author is appra

I think we are all vulnerable and need to reassess what it is we bring. Agents merely accelerate and equalize the playing field. And they cost money. We might be a dying breed, but we are the best operators of this technology. And if we wan

LLMs don’t “solve” execution at all. They aid and accelerate it.

You know what lacks focus? This whole article. Oh, and also individual styles of commit messages. You know what’s a waste of everyone’s time when you’re building technology in 2026? How to write and summarize what you’re work is doing. Conv

I feel similarly. There is virtually zero chance I’m going to clone and run someone else’s dotfiles. So the act of sharing them is a generous look into a developer’s toolchain and I’ve been inspired by others’ choices. So, if you know how,

I think this author is so far off the mark that it makes me wonder if they were high when they wrote this

Yeah this whole effort is just more money wasted on security theater and this whole discussion thread is filled with disgruntled tech workers who drive into the city rather than take Bart and are so clearly salty about the inconvenience of

Surveillance tech is the worst and I hope this fails miserably. There should be an outreach program that goes to the community and works with the people who perform sideshows to make them less disruptive. Narc tech won’t fix the problem it

The article and commenter are talking about a single management role, Product. You say “retain managers” — plural. You’re putting words in their mouth. They had something like Extreme Programming, and it was not a good time from what I hear

Leetcode? I find it interesting that there’s an assumption that if you exist in this world as a professional software engineer and are successful by all reasonable measures that it somehow predisposes an exposure with leetcode. I’ve never u

At this point, anybody here likely has had the privilege of being educated to prefer primary sources of information over secondary, tertiary, etc. The indexing feature that search engines for years provided was a side-effect and benefit of

Good to see QLab. I’m curious why MaxMSP didn’t make it on there. In college we used it for ‘These Shining Lives’ to create a harmonic, barely perceivable drone over the actors voice fed from the mic. It was sick!

It’s not even just about choices, it’s about consensus and we’ve forgotten how to see a win from a partial loss. We no longer know compromise at a federal level

You’re a natural but don’t forget to slow down, get done with school, find meaning outside of tech, and then change the world. You’re already on your way.

Yes? Isn’t that implied by “losing its luster,” considering the publisher and audience of the article? I think it goes on to talk about the relationship to venture capital and local govt. so it’s more than a general thing?

There’s some good points on here that I might share with some tutoring students, esp about greenfield and how that’s really a coveted thing in a social setting of engineers. I do think the tone should be worked on so it is less.. bleak. Lik

Ah yes, this short, click baiting article highlights the very predictable and widely known side effect of what we all know as the software development cycle.

Hold up, they lost me at “declarative syntax” no, it’s Golang. It’s not infrastructure as code. Hard pass, use templates..
