Sir, I’m 40 and I’m already at the stage of not wanting to do any programming. I used to love this stuff. But after watching all my favourite companies and CEOs turn to greedy villains… I’m just done. How do I survive another 35 years doing

Oh how the middle class hates having to share with the poor. We don’t mind the rich flying private jets, but for the love of god don’t put a poor person next to us on a plane.

Dammit, I don’t think this is going to be as popular as the Steam Deck at this price. I hope they don’t shelf it and I can buy this in a few years for a reasonable price once the big AI labs go bankrupt.

Really cool. Good move on writing your own stack. I was weighing using ros2 or building our own, but ended up going the ros2 route to “save time”. We are working with autonomous mobility robots in nature, so we figured the ecosystem around

The core advice of the book is to smile, flatter, avoid all criticism, and feign “genuine” interest. People can sense this performance from a mile away. It is a dated, salesy, conflict-averse (to the point of dishonesty) way of communicatin

I too read the book in my younger years, and it helped me a lot with making friends and my career. However, the book itself is filled with some terrible advice for communicating with people. I realized that as an older person. But as a youn

If you set a breakpoint inside any engine method in the Sources tab and then do something like: this.state.treasureEffects.cannonCooldownS = 0 Then you can easily cheat. Is there any way around this?

Really cool! I love well created web games.

I guess you can describe me as anti-AI. I use AI everyday to write code. I can’t deny that it makes me more efficient. And there’s pressure from the people that pay my bills to produce more and more with it. But I still hate it. I hate the

I’ve noticed a lot of fear mongering with screens and kids. So called “experts” have taken a few correlational studies and concluded that screen time is the devil. Instagram is full of these podcast clips of experts warning parents of the

Fewer than 1,000 U.S. billionaires own more combined wealth than the bottom half of the entire American population. Surely, this or communism cannot be the only 2 options humanity has. Between those 2 extremes there are so many options.

I think the real issue is not fertility. It is humans refusing to share wealth fairly, which then leads to low fertility. A world with fewer humans, plus AI/robots doing the heavy work would be amazing, if we shared wealth fairly. Unle

This is what happens when you can code faster than you can think. It’s kind of similar to a Facebook hiring 100s of engineers before it even knows what to do with them.

Nicely done! Glad to see real hacking is still alive in the age of AI.

“It sounds like you feel that autonomous killer drones are a dystopia, and that anything related to the drones“ Yes!!! What do you think a dystopia is? The entire world of 1984 is a dystopia. Just cause there’s a company making money to “co

Yeah, but the whole thing is still dystopian. If there was a company A planting mind controlling chips in your mind, and company B selling a service to destroy those chips… neither company makes the whole thing less dystopian.

I recently used Suno to generate a whole album for myself. I was after a specific style. I had this one song in my head and could not find anything else like it. So I tried Suno, very skeptical of it, but was completely surprised by what it

I see. So your brilliant logic is to reduce the actions and impact of multi billion dollar institutions down to simplified versions of the technical solutions they offer. “You don’t need to worry bout them Palantir boys, they just make simp

Wasn’t it just a few months ago that a big tech CEO used his powers to gain access to all the US government data he wanted? Did you forget that already? Did you see any clips from Trumps inauguration? Weren’t the CEOs of these big tech comp

Barf . Just billionaires with crappy ideologies, and the will to shove those ideologies down everyone’s throat with their power and money. Just stick to tech. Seriously. Make your tech, make your money, and shut up. You are not “representin

I think we, as engineers, are a bit stuck on what “software” has traditionally been. We think of systems that we carefully build, maintain, and update. Deterministic systems for interacting with computers. I think these “traditional” system

I think so. From my experience Claude/codex tooling really excels at vibe coding the whole thing. You give it a folder and just say: now make it do this. And you don’t really care for the code. Junie tooling excels when you are more in

I’ve been using Gemini with Junie (jetbrains attempt at Claude code). While Junie is nowhere near as good as Claude Code, it is way ahead of the current Google tooling. I get quite good consistent results for pretty cheap with this combo.

Yes. A skill I have not mastered in 20 years. And I’ve yet to meet a person who has. If you are out here writing perfectly looking code 100% of the time that everyone else including you can perfectly understand a year later, then hats off t

You are right about the learning part. But I’ve been at this for 20 years. Even the best, most pristine and organizad code I’ve seen has not been “clear”. The average LLM code today is a lot more clear than the average developer code.

So we’ve already grown nostalgic for the old days… skimming through an alien looking codebase, scratching your head trying to figure what crazy abstraction the last person who touched this code had in mind. Oh shit it was me? That made so m

Nah dude, that roulette wheel is 100% rigged. From top to bottom. No doubt about that. If you think they are playing fair you are either brand new to this industry, or a masochist.
