in reality the question is more so, can the AI do a "good enough" job to not be noticeably worse than a real person?

there's a lot more involved in senior dev work beyond producing code that works. if the stakeholders knew how to do what they needed to build and how, then they could use LLMs, but translating complex requirements into code is somethin

I'd guess "huge investment" in this case is relative. The maintainer is not spending a ton of time building features for the CLA tool since it's mostly "done" and so investing more time to build support for Git

I support remote work, but moving out to a rural area is putting yourself at risk if you expect to get high software engineer pay. There’s a lot more competition for remote jobs and you’re also competing with highly qualified candidates in

The city of San Francisco is ~10% of NYC's population so it's not a good comparison.

Totally agree with this and one of the biggest problems i’ve dealt with at early stage startups is employees from a big companies that couldn’t deal with bypassing certain things like this.

Totally agree with you that now that React has matured, I have dealt with a ton of shitty React codebases because it really is more of a library that doesn't inform you how to architect your app and thus lots of folks went in completel

according to the article, Turbopack is 10-20x faster than Vite. I wonder how they were able to edge it out so significantly!

I would argue that Hanoi is more touristy than Ho Chi Minh so this comparison just tells me the author doesn’t know what he is talking about

That's great news! I missed that in my initial skim of the article.

I have used protobufs and grpc on the web before. Maybe this project is the magic bullet that makes it easy to do, but in the past that typescript support from Google and 3rd parties (improbable eng) was lacking and there was little interes

I was really excited to try out Facet at the start of the year, but I was disappointed to see that most of the opportunities were for full time work and there isn't a lot of contract work advertised!

NYC is one of the only cities in the US with quality transit and really the main one where it's easy to live car free in many areas of the city.

It’s truly insane to me that we’re still waiting on decorators from TC39. I’ve been seeing warnings to not use them SINCE shortly after ES2015. Since you’ve been able to use them for 7 years via transpilers, I wouldn’t hold my breathe on TC

Considering NYC recovered economically from 9/11, which made parts of the city uninhabitable. I don't see this being as big of a concern, though it would be tragic if something like this happened.

Agree with this sentiment. I had a short stint at a large tech company and the sort of attitude you describe is what turned me off from working there longer. “Not my job” people tend to be the most frustrating folks to work with. While I un

As engineers, we should be capable of critical thinking beyond this. Otherwise you will end up with barely working enterprise software like the sibling comment mentioned. If this is how you do your work, you are asking for a computer to rep

We didn't use it initially because the site was built before they launched that feature, but it definitely reduced some of the boilerplate that we had to write ourselves to wire up Next to WP. We had already setup a preview page that w

I built out a site using headless WP with Next.js as the frontend. With server side rendering of React, we still took advantage of caching the HTML in a CDN like you would with vanilla WP but it was much easier to build our own theme as des

Agree with this 100%. I've seen both in older codebases. It's even more frustrating when you work with engineers who refuse to believe that any code they write could become technical debt in the future. These tend to be people who

Agree with this, it's very important for engineers to own the quality and reliability of their own code. The team I was on that had embedded QA on each team had barely any unit tests because developers were used to relying on QA to cat

Other interesting aspect is that they get paid to build features for the browser by companies that want to drive the direction of the web platform. https://blogs.igalia.com/mrego/2017/03/16/css-grid-layou

I thought it was weird to feature Clubhouse when the app launched fairly recently. Feels like this article is a way to market them?

Having just been through the interview process, i ended up having to go through a few coding challenges. Luckily for me, i never got “ghosted” after sending one back. The important thing to me is that the coding challenges have a reasonable

Totally agreed. Unfortunately (and fortunately, depending on how you look at it), there is no single benevolent dictator of JS to help you make your decision like in other communities. I think this quote from this article is a good summary

Really disappointed they removed all of advanced filtering features (commute time, neighborhoods hightlight, some others i don't remember) that made it the best app for apartment hunting

Do you just create a bootstrap-theme to make it look unique? I'm interested in learning more about how to take advantage of the good parts of bootstrap without having a site that looks too much like vanilla bootstrap.
