Do you know if traditional blackboards have still been used in 2025?

I'm curious what you meant by the web app use case and why you find SQL bad?

Fair point about the reminders! May your wait be long.

Good to stop repeating actions making you unhappy, but how about going without assistants alltogether? From the examples given I haven't seen any meaningful life improvement with them.

I couldn't understand either until I remembered appearances matter more than substance. So if your goal is to deliver as much features as possible - regardless of the quality or roi - gatekeepers are an obstacle to remove.

Having functions literally color coded based on type would be nice improvement.

I don't think we can really have software engineers without having software engineering...and despite the name in use I see very little evidence of actual engineering.

Today, Helsinki region was under drone alert with advice to stay indoors. It seems that the public warning system failed to notify a large number of users. Not many information I could find but it seems you need to have latest version and a

There are productivity gains to be had by reducing amount of communication and internal layers IMO. I believe there are also diminishing returns on new features/products (in general case). So you won't really need that many people

I mostly agree with you. I find Oodi (and Sello after redesign) to feel like a typical open office space (rather than mall) but definitely not like a proper library. Rikhardinkatu is what I'd expect library to be while Lippulaiva is ra

Skills are less important than foundation. And Logo or BASIC >> Python in school context IMO.

I seem to remember doing it in SQL (EDIT_DISTANCE) 20ish years ago. While I wouldn't say it worked beautifully, I also didn't need to make a single line of Rust :) also no more than 2 line s of SQL were needed.
