I'm in Slovakia. We have 4 networks here and they basically have hidden non-compete agreements where no-one launches new tech for masses without at least one other providing it launching it too, sometimes they even coordinate the launc

my first iPhone was the original SE (which was essentially iPhone 4 expanded to 16:9 screen) and I'd say it was the perfect size of a phone, the reason why I opted for a larger screen even though my hands are kinda small for a man is t

commits are local, so they're okay to me, I draw the line at pushing them... I either want to check its work while it's working, or let it finish and then check it all at once -> if it splits it work into smaller commits its ea

I never want Claude or any AI to post messages as myself..., if I'd wanted Claude to send a message to Slack, I'd want him to identify as Claude, or use some bot token, where it's clearly visible I'm not the one posting

Honestly, the worst thing about App Store rating system is that the ratings and reviews users see are country specific. So if you are in a small country and you try to use an app that is not really popular in your country, you see very few

Apps can only show you the Apple's dialog for rating three times a year. Many apps first show you their own popup/dialog asking stuff like "Do you like this app?" and only if you click "yes" there then they sho

washing is okay but dropping it in a pool destroyed my charging port on iPhone 14... the phone kept working and was rechargeable wirelessly though...

So much this. When coding I use my LLM to hone the code to perfection before sending it to review, including running AI reviews on it multiple times and fixing obvious bugs so that reviewers have less work to do. I also test all my code man

How LLM usage affects your thinking process entirely depends on the workflow you use with them. I can honestly say that while using LLM my thoughts are as sharp and as fast as they were before, if not sharper and faster. But my workflow is

I have one like that and so do my parents. But they're much less effective than classic split AC with an outside unit. A regular split can cool a bigger room to 24 even when it's 38 outside and is basically completely quiet. A por

It's not that expensive. There are other reasons why people can't install one in Europe than money. Mostly for people living in apartments. In an apartment building you need the approval of other apartment owners to "modify t

my guess is that the outdoor AC unit reached its maximum working temperature... since we're not that used to extreme heat in EU, units with max working temperatures of 45 degrees Celsius are pretty common and the air around the AC unit

the sentiment "AI couldn't code last year, but now I use it for everything!" rings true for me... but I didn't flip cause AI is now better than me... I flipped cause now I am faster with AI than without it... A year ago

Majority of the things I've mentioned don't need QA. Improving performance of an existing code is fine as long as it passes the existing test suite. Dev tooling / Monitoring is for devs only. Unused code is unused, just needs

I probably spend even more than 20% of my time away from the computer these days. AI is great for this. I task Claude with something and while it's working I have the time to think about next steps, I can take a walk outside, have a co

I love having no task assigned. Means I finally have time to do code maintenance. Upgrading dependencies, fixing bugs (there are always some), clearing TODOs left in code, improving performance, improving dev tooling or monitoring configura

We have 257 python dependencies in our production app (over half of them are direct dependencies). We don't have any upper bounds in our pyproject.toml and we just run `uv lock --upgrade` every 2 weeks through GH actions. We have good

Different countries use different definitions of what "small business" or "micro business" is. And people usually use their own local expectations they're used to. I'm not from the US and a company with 100 mil

The difference with AI is that now generating AI slop is much faster than carefully crafted code. So companies began to prefer AI slop.

Also this doesn't just mean more disk space usage, but also longer local build times... for the app I'm working on `exporting to image` takes 71.5 seconds with containerd, without containerd it's 4.3s (the rest of the build t

Depends on the complexity of the task. That's what I tried to hint at by also mentioning college-level math. For the high-school level tasks yeah, couple of hours and I'd be as fast as I was in high school again. For the number in

What the actual fuck? Customers' expectations shouldn't matter at all if the things they expect is illegal. And this is already a solved problem. The city I live in (Bratislava, Slovakia) has some pedestrian-only zones in the &quo

For me AI mostly reduces time effort. AI types code faster than I do, looks up stuff on the internet faster than I do, debugs faster than I do, but doing those never required much "brain effort" from me. What does require "br

I hear sentiments about farming from lots of burnout software developers. I always wonder what made them become developers at all. Cause my primary motivation for selecting a job was that I explicitly didn't want to ever work manually,
