I append "sound kinda dumb but be factually correct" to my Claude requests and get much less jargony responses.

Are you asking the author to validate your own opinion? Why don't you explain why you think its slop and provide some evidence to back up your assertions and we can have a real discussion.

As a longtime developer currently perusing their first computer science degree, it makes me happy that I understood this article. Nearly makes all the trouble seem worth it.

Junior engineers should spend half their time doing customer support. It allows them to provide meaningful value to the company without needing to code, it shows them a customer first approach to the product, it teaches them empathy for use

I've never worked anywhere where the role of a Sr was to glue together a bunch of small pieces written by a team of Jr devs. I've only worked places where Jr's were given roughly the same scope of work as a mid-level dev but

If we can keep the price of homes flat for 10 years then homeowners won't get hosed (still increasing equity by paying off principle) and homes get more affordable (assuming steady inflation and wage growth)

If a hotel could offer me a house like experience I would definitely be interested. I agree with the sentiment that Airbnbs are weird with the checkout chores and lack of regulation, but when traveling with friends I find it so much more en

You sound like someone who has developed a good work ethic and is comfortable with struggle. Likely because you didn't grow up with a magic thinking box to ask for help at the first bit of mental friction.

None of these things are related to age or amount of experience. Someone with 20 years of mediocre experience will be mediocre, and they may also have a false sense of their own ability because they've managed to scrape by for so long.

"None of that shit matters" in purely thermodynamic sense, but it matters immensely to the actual goal of getting people to be healthier by having less body fat. In that sense, CICO is an oversimplification. I personally don'

I am literally looking at a port with many containers and a fully loaded ship waiting to unload more containers at the port of Seattle right this second. (based on other replies I guess I'm not the only one in Pioneer Square lol)

People care immensely about having a job. If tariffs mean that businesses don't hire as much or do layoffs then this is a big deal for most people. The unemployment rate doesn't even need to go up that much to have a huge effect o

I'm much more concerned about someone going 40mph in a 25 zone than someone going 110 in a 75.

Ehh the roads are public property. I don't think its unreasonable that if you want your car to be registered to drive on a public road it needs some sort of speed limiter. Its about the same level of infringement on your personal right

Its a cool car, but forgive me for not getting Lucy-Footballed again by an electric car startup claiming to be able to "change the game" while never actually getting any cars sold.

That power comes from the idea that the federal employees can shut down government operations if they stop working. This administration (supposedly) wants dearly to shut down government operations, so the union doesn't have any power.

You get better at what you practice . If you practice unproductive social interactions and unhealthy coping skills all day, you will get better at unproductive social interactions and unhealthy coping skills.

Sounds like we agree, enforce all the laws.

All I want is for the laws on the books to be enforced. If a majority decides those laws are bad, they should be taken off the books. Its currently against the law to litter, shoplift, vandalize, defecate in public, be visibly intoxicated i

G&T was a great way for me to learn a smug sense of superiority over my classmates and believe that inherit ability is more important to success than hard work. That being said - in most of my non honors classes kids would get made fun

I hope so. Also possible: "Wow people are still paying good money for our sucky software. I guess we never needed good software nor good developers."

I don't think its common for people to try to "memorize leetcode." Most interview loops at places that do algorithm interviews are 2-3 rounds and each round will have up to 2 questions. Its very very unlikely the interviewee

Some people consider the PR the unit of work, not the commit. I don't really agree but I think its a reasonable way to do things if you are squashing the PR before merging. The problem is the size.

I don't see how taking it file by file lowers the complexity. If a file introduces a new method and that method it used 10 times in different files throughout the PR, looking at the 1 file doesn't really tell me much. This is com
