I feel this mostly is a side effect from lack of domain knowledge. Most of the time this has happened to me, it's because I myself did not cleanly know how a problem should be solved to begin with. If you have a clear picture of what y

They aren't proposing to replace git though. They are just attempting to make it simpler for developers to follow changes applied by an LLM in an ergonomic fashion. Not saying it will work well but I'm happy to see someone trying

Super cool! Any plans to release it for Linux? Would love to test it but I have no Mac unfortunately

The more complex the more fragile. The simpler the solution the more robust. This, I feel, is an overall truth to software development. And simpler solutions, as far as I know, are usually the more useful ones.

I've read that privileged ports was created as a trust model, so users connecting to a service using a privileged port would know that service was started by root on that server and therefore could be trusted. I always felt this was a

I can understand that feeling, but remember that just because you have been handed a new powertool you mustn't always use it. Life is not about optimizing everything. It makes redundant work faster, where you fully understand from the

This made me think and reflect, thank you. Not so much about language design as how easy it is to take a defensive position on something we are comfortable with when it's challanged. This prohibits growth. When someone suggests you hav

Not an expert, but, when you give Claude, or any AI agent a query it will usually need to do research, use various tools, execute commands etc. and all of this accumelates text in the conversation thread. Each subsequent query in a thread s

I have the same CPU in my primary system, and if you can afford it, it’s so choice. A big surprise for me, having owned both a Ryzen gen 1 & 3 previously, was that this time my system posted without me needing to flash my BIOS or play a

While I cannot see a way to effectively stop companies from collecting data from you (aside from avoiding practically everything), that doesn’t mean we should do nothing. DuckDuckGo aren’t perfect, but I think they do a lot to all our benef

Great article. It think it raises a good point. An important aspect of modern programming languages should be to simplify the syntax, to help developers avoid mistakes. This reminds me of arguing more than once with JS developers about the

For example, they retain the right now to brick your console remotely if you go against their usage policies. Which they retain the right to change at will. So, effectively you really do not own that console in any way shape or form. Shame

The author makes a good point but for the wrong reason I think. The fact that companies lock down their software, and hardware (looking at you Apple), is their choice just like it is yours to give them the finger. However, at least in Swede

Just one more reason not to buy a Switch 2. Seriously, Nintendo has become worse than Apple when it comes to treating their customers. I own hundreds of Nintendo games and every console they ever made, sometimes in multiples. But when I saw

Whenever my logic said one thing and my gut feeling told me different, I used to ignore my gut. This would more often than not cause some sort of backlash I could not possibly have foreseen. Sometimes immediately, sometimes several days lat

I wanted to take a look, but I didn’t want to create an account. An open demo might help bring in clients. Could not see any real content about how it works on the front page, just all the potential benefits it brings. Congratulations on th

I’m strictly against collecting data from users unless absolutely necessary, and never without their consent. As for technology stripping us of our humanity, I could not agree less. I think it’s helped us connect better with each other acro

While I am a little tired of the majority of all news being on the subject of AI, I think it’s important to remember that it is arguably the biggest thing that’s happened to our industry since the Internet. Considering how many areas it can

The author has a point. Obsolete tests serves no one, but deleting a test because it will randomly fail is an indication of an unstable process. Maybe there is a race condition, maybe your code has some dependency that is sporadically unava

I’ve been a developer for 25 years and I both love and hate what AI is doing to our industry. I use these tools in projects where there is no sensitive information, outside of my own code, with a full understanding that I may well be sharin

Initially, yes. For me, it took the joy out of development. I was at the point of abandoning it but decided to try some different approaches with it. I think it’s here to stay and felt there had to be some way to leverage it without it maki

Yeah, most of my best work comes while I’m out for a run on a local forest track. I try not to think about work while I’m out there, probably that’s why it’s so helpful.

My feelings exactly. Whenever I get one of those days I’ve found I get more done away from my desk. Taking a walk in the forest or doing some household chores can really help you get back on track. Of course at times it’s just better to adm
