Vcs are some of the dumbest people I have ever interacted with. Full stop no exceptions. They are luck, confirmation bias and survivor bias weaponized.

Well this just created a lot of work for me. Everything’s turning to shit at an alarming rate.

No I have a few privacy plugins/adblock but they all work fine with YouTube normally. I tried disabling everything. All the standard debugging tests.

The most irritating thing for me now is that YouTube doesn’t work in my browser anymore. Clearly being a/b tested because sometimes it does, and sometimes it spews out thousands of console errors and doesn’t load anything.

I use this kind of opinion as my idiot bat signal now. It’s so obviously untrue when someone starts spouting this nonsense you know they are a very feelings based decision maker.

lol. All the competent folks I knew left. They bled talent like crazy with return to office. Everyone figured that was the point of it… all that’s left of the groups I worked with there is morons and sycophants from top to bottom.

When I last compared it to mypy a few months ago adding typechecking to an old project that had types but I had for some reason never actually run a typechecker on it: * Was overwhelmingly slower than mypy * Had a few hundred more false pos

I’ve gotten 0 production usable python out of any LLM. Small script to do something trivial, sure. Anything I’m going to have to maintain or debug in the future, not even close. I think there is a _lot_ of terrible python code out there tra

Yes, I read this post and was actually emotionally affected by a post about coding. I was surprised how sad I felt. I’ve been around for a long time but this truly feels like the best era if you like gluing trash to other trash and shipping

You only need to implement it yourself if you’ve catastrophically fucked up the concurrency model on the client or sever side and they can’t respond out of band of whatever you’re waiting on.

Personally I’ve been finding that the more context I provide the more it hallucinates.

That's a great analogy. I would add that since I left every single smart person in my extended network that worked there has left. As far as I can tell all my former teams are held together with jr devs and bubblegum.

I just want a hacker news no-LLM filter. The site has been almost unusable for a year now.

I’m so glad I left. The execs there are comically incompetent.

All this person has done is illustrate a sociopathic inability to understand other peoples’ experiences. Nothing they have said is remotely interesting and is an obvious no from my perspective. The only situation I’d even pick up a phone or

I know nothing whatsoever about readability but this almost makes me ill to read. Very unsettling.

It’s wild to me people can say things like this so confidently. I’ve said no to everything my entire life. I don’t care what you’re offering, I’m already seething with rage that I have to talk to you. If I want something I’ll look for it sa

This drives me nuts. When I first got the original fire tv it was fast and had no ads. I could easily recommend it. Now it’s stuffed to the brim with ads and is incredibly slow. When this one dies I’ll likely not buy a hardware device from

No. Speak for yourself.

Agreed. In my experience to do well in large companies you need 2 properties and nothing else. 1. Constantly complaining. This is like a high-visible fake proxy for "high quality". 2. Highly opinionated. In order to get your 3rd r

If they are they should stop. It causes so many entirely unnecessary issues. The conda developers are directly responsible for maybe a month of my wasted debugging time. At my last job one of our questions for helping debug client library i

This is a very incorrect and overly prescriptive view based on your, to use your own term, narrow experience. I vastly prefer meetings and collaboration to be remote. People who dominate in person meetings due to their body language and per

On the filesizes I was working with (log files) both silver surfer and GNU grep would lock up and crash. Ripgrep handled the same thing in _seconds_. The difference in speed is staggering you may not think the speed bothers you, but I can&#

I wound up going back to pandora recently. I had started using Spotify really late (2021) and couldn’t understand any of the praise it had.

Most of the write ups show you everything all at once. I spend maybe a minute or so a week updating or tweaking something. Over decades this is a lot of customization and If I did a write up on it it would look like a lot of work.
