In my experience (30+ years) writing good code (and good automatic tests) makes me way more productive. Both when initially writing the code and later when maintaining it. Good code dramatically reduce bugs and makes the remaining bugs mo

Professional compiler writer here. All you really need to use is a recursive descent parser. Very easy to understand. Very easy to implement. While also being very powerful.

> that the world is fundamentally analog Whether the world is discrete or analog is still an open problem in science. And it looks as if there is more and more evidence that the world is actually discrete at the quantum level.

I am an avid gamer. However Factorio is the only game I have been playing for years. It is truly unique.

Just make a simple CLI adventure game: 1. Print "You are in a dark dungeon. There is a door ..." 2. Print "Your options are: 1. Open the door 2. Exit 3. Turn on ..." 3. Read a number as input 4. Goto (yes goto) similar c

If you can't design and implement a clean, well-structured monolith using proper modularization and libraries, you will almost certainly fail to build a clean and maintainable microservices system. The most unmaintainable system I&#x27

Great website! It would be even more great if it compared total wind generation with total UK power usage for the same time period (with a % for wind power usage).

I use C++ instead of so called 'scripting' languages all the time. I have zero problems doing that and it is lightning fast.

Nope. The world runs on code written in C and C++. Including Python itself. There is a reason why there are literally millions of C/C++ programmers out there working on C/C++ code every day.

Wayland is such a waste of programming resources and user obstacles. No you don't need to reinvent the wheel thank you.

He’s absolutely right. I always wait for the hype to die down before deciding whether to adopt new tech. Because most of the time, I’d just be wasting effort on something that turns out to be underwhelming. It’s the same with games. I give

There are plenty of non-games software companies that are treating devs purely. However almost all of the companies I have worked for in my 30+ years career treated devs well. So if you are in a shitty situation, I highly recommend finding

Completely disagree. I have used code generation for years (way before modern LLM's) and it typically automates about 90% of the code I need to write to create an application. However it is not AI. It is simply a program that takes a d

Excellent article! I learned a lot from it. Thanks!

> this means software engineers are likely the first to go Nope. Grab a random person off the street and ask them to write Enterprise software using an AI. Good luck with that. The job will change but it still requires a lot of deep kno

I completely agree. This feels like the typical “open-source developers rewriting something that already works well, then forcing it on people who never asked for it” kind of project. It will take years to reach the feature set of X11. And

If you think a department or individual working 10% faster makes a company 10% more productive, you’re almost certainly wrong. Productivity only improves if the change increases revenue or reduces costs. And that rarely happens unless you i

Traditional software has already automated most of what can be automated.

You are absolutely right. It’s frustrating to see otherwise smart people acting like lemmings, blindly walking off the cliff.

If you are thinking about AWS or (worse) deploying on AWS you are definitely behind the curb of the companies who badly regretted that decision and are moving away from AWS due to cost. The smart companies completely skip the cost and time
