There are different kinds of developer. Some will find their joy through building fast, they tend to love LLMs. Some love the art of writing code; they don't tend to love LLMs. And there are others too. Those that enjoy fully understan

I've most recently used it to build a system design interview simulator and a job board crawler which sends the best roles to my email every day.

At the time, they were right; it was as good as society had ever been. I think they were much like us in many ways. They probably imagined that things could get better (even if they didn't imagine electricity or computers).

I agree that a lot of the noise at the moment is an emotional reaction to LLMs, rather than a dispassionate assessment of how useful they are. It's understandable - they are changing the way we work, and for lots of us (software develo

A top recommendation along these lines is The Worst Journey in the World by Apsley Cherry-Garard; a member of the Scott expedition to the south pole, which goes into detail of his winter journey (which the title refers to). One of the best

There's a disincentive to actively block PRs if you don't want your coworkers to think you are a bad colleague / not on their side. So you often see suboptimal code making its way to production. This has a worse effect the mo

It gives you control over the output of your program (and as you mention, the exact error code - which probably should be 1 in this instance). It's often more user friendly to print a short human-readable message (or nothing) than to d

I really like the short and visually descriptive layout of this article. It clearly conveys the message. I'm not in agreement that toasts are always bad though. It can be useful to follow an expected pattern; users are likely to unders

All very good and useful points. One additional thing to mention is that as you are querying across the raw data with a data lake(house), performance is fundamentally worse, even if a lot of the marketing material will tell you otherwise. U

One engineer on their own can only write so much code. As soon as you have two, you have a team, and the team needs to share information. Fundamentally that's what all those meetings are for (and it's a large part of the job of le

This is my final quibble with VSCode as well - except I'm coming from Vim. I've hunted high and low through the settings - if anyone from the VSCode team is reading this, there's not another feature that's more vital to

Why would it be flagged? Sweden is a prominent European country, equally valid an example as the USA for such a study.

As a Brit I can't help but notice that on every axis, our country appears to be in decline at the moment. Even before Brexit, things hadn't been going well, as this article shows. It's making me seriously consider moving away

The effect mentioned started before Brexit, so the link has to be with something else - in the article's conclusion it's a related Tory problem, austerity

Well known anecdotally perhaps, but this is the first time I've seen a major publication link the two issues (possibly I don't read enough of the news). Hopefully we see more like this.

I'd recommend having a look at https://github.com/neoclide/coc.nvim if you feel you're missing out from not having VSCode extensions - it's available for both vim and neovim. Allows you to use those lang

A few interesting ones in there, such as Dentists, who other than other dentists, most often marry secretaries and assistants.

I'm not sure how this is talking down to anybody. It's generally true that if you're cycling in the winter (I do it in the UK) you'll be perfectly warm even wearing minimal clothing. The first 5 minutes might be a bit ch

You've entirely ignored the thrust of the parents argument. I'd also point out that from the perspective of a secular westerner, even if one group is calling for the genocide of the other regularly; is the other group, which is ac

Near our work there is a single public tennis court that in normal (pre pandemic) summers is heavily contested for bookings. So I wrote a script to book in whatever set of sessions me and my colleagues wanted to play for the following week.

I do this successfully for work using https://talonvoice.com/ - initial learning curve is steep, but once you learn how to configure and hack on the commands, you can be very effective. I use it maybe half the day to combat

This is probably a large part of it. The higher up the chain you go the more obvious it is - the system, the game, whatever you want to call it. Finally understanding what it means to sell your soul, and seeing that at least the janitor kep
