There's precedent here in things like fast food vs. farm to table, mass produced goods vs arts and craft, digital photography vs film. Yet at least in my social circle, I don't really hear anyone pining for an 'artisan intern

Having played both there's a lot of overlap in the social side. You can find games with randoms or join social match plays with little friction. From what I've heard, it's not that easy with other racket sports like tennis. I

Asking that question just signals that you don't obey social cues. Most hiring managers won't like this, as they don't want to be responsible for hiring someone volatile like this. I think the only place you could get away wi

Are LLMs actually decent at this sort of data crunching though? I thought at best they could write a script to help.

Yes I don't understand why Claude code needs to be a terminal app. It doesn't compose with any other command line program and the terminal interface is limiting. I'm surprised nobody has yet made a coding assistant that runs

I think you’re being a little pedantic here. Even if we assume "senior" is an arbitrary title, the article is still a useful description for how to be effective as an experienced engineer. The title is the least interesting part o

The problem is that the alternative is usually only sites created only to chase affiliate revenue. At least on Reddit, there’s a _chance_ I’m reading something from someone genuinely sharing their opinion.

Uh, sure, maybe in a professional setting where you’re getting paid. But this was unpaid volunteer work. If, as a community, we start enforcing professional grade standards on people who are just contributing their free time to give us neat

> I just think it's ironic that this advice is useless to junior engineers but unneeded by senior engineers. That's a good way of putting it. The advice essentially boils down to "do the right thing, don't do the wron

I feel, generally, with an aging population + rising unemployment due to AI, we'll reach a crunch point that puts governments under immense pressure to increase taxes (probably on megacorps & the wealthy) more in order to fund welf

Planes have just as much spaghetti code as anything else, the only difference is that it's extremely well tested (functionally) and verified spaghetti code.

I agree. I don't understand how people prefer buildroot. Buildroot feels like an adhoc system of glued together Makefiles, whereas yocto actually feels like it was built for purpose.

You don't _have_ to, I think the parent poster is just giving an example of how this can be used. The "Zero Knowledge" part is that you can tell me "for this particular program code, I know an input that gives an output

I feel this so much. I feel like most of my job is playing politics to make sure people are happy and let them feel like they're adding value. Rather than shipping things to users to improve the product. It's honestly so depressin

Looking online I see reports that FTX owes its creditors $3B. If Anthropic has 6.5x then the initial $500 million is now worth $3.25B. Is it actually possible that all creditors will get their money back? Pretty crazy if so.

How many developers do you have working on that monolith though? The size of your binary isn't usually why teams start breaking up a monolith.

Errors are composable so this isn't such a problem in practice. Most of the prod code I wrote would do something like this use thiserror::Error; #[derive(Error, Debug)] enum Error { #[error("Could not open g
