Oh good lord. Spare us the beatings of the chest and rending of the garments. "crafting code by hand" like some leftover hipsters from 2010s crafting their own fabric using a handloom. It's fucking code. Were there similar g

Yup. Even if you treat the LLMs as just a question answering, brainstorming, code parsing, doc creating bot, it's already a major quality of life improvement for engineers over whatever we were doing before it existed.

My experience on r/programming came as a surprise to me. I know that not everyone in the community is sold on LLM based coding, and I was fully prepared for some pushback. But I was not prepared for the outright hostility and vitriol j

For users who have reasonably functioning products, yes. For Siri users, looks like not so much.

Packet loss is happening at a lower layer (ethernet, wifi, mobile etc.). It's a property of the physical medium, not whether HTTP1.1 or HTTP2 is running at the higher layer. The point of this blogpost is that design of HTTP/2 (spe

Yes. Emacs has the wonderful property of one time investment in time and learning curve that pays off over years to do all sorts of code and non-code editing.

You want to see some weirdly long ping times... try pinging Israel to Turky. Compare that to say, Israel to Netherlands.

I knew it! I've hated the camelCase style with a passion from the day I first saw it. I'd be very curious to know if there's any developer who didn't grow up on windows actually likes camel case style.

One of the biggest weaknesses of gitlab, that becomes glaring as you add more and more projects, is that a code repository and a project are considered one and the same thing. It's quite common to want two or more separate repositories

"Since Gitlab projects are repo-centric" This seems to be the huge blind spot on gitlab product design. Everything is tied to git repo's while in the real world installs, users want global views of things which go across git-
