I think you are talking about the US. In Europe (at least France & Germany) most professional classical musicians are doing it exclusively (we might be an outlier but it's the norm here), competition is fierce though but at that le

Nobody will go to an exhibition or a museum to stare at code like we do with paintings. The public for creative programming is really thin.

"hackée" would be the real anglicisme of hacked. Lot of english words are used like real french verb (-er termination) (hacker, booker, spoiler, manager, etc)

That's how I learned git before GitHub, but it was a pain to configure DNS and port-forwarding when ISP didn't provide static IP.

When I started using Git around 2006, we didn't have GitHub. We used Google Code for SVN hosting, but we wanted to try Git because it was 'truely' decentralized, so we just pulled from other developers' computers directl

It seems like a cool idea, did you follow up with a product or an open source app?

I thought the same but I tried to create a small Django project with APIs, small React frontend from scratch, no LLM, no autocomplete, just a text editor. I was surprised it was all still there after a couple of hours. Not sure it's a

The value is to control the tool chain from idea to production so it can be automated by agents. It's no secret that the final goal is to fully replace developers, the flow "idea to production". It's easier to control th

At some point it will get treated like infrastructure, what a typical SWE is doing when cloudfare is broken or AWS is down.

Where I live, ballot are a piece of paper slipped into an envelope (not sealed). It's mandatory to take at least two different ballots before entering a voting booth. You can take a picture with one ballot inside the envelope and switc

Not only that but paper in a voting booth is so simple that anyone can check that it is done properly. It may be a burdensome process, but very simple to understand. Every modernization of the process has major drawbacks. – Electronic votin

At least for the time being, AI "workers" belong to someone. That person is represented and pays taxes.

I've been using Django for the last 10+ years, its ORM is good-ish. At some point there was a trend to use sqlalchemy instead but it was not worth the effort. The Manager interface is also quite confusing at first. What I find really g

The whole issue, as clearly explained by the maintainers, isn't that the code is incorrect or not useful, it's the transfer of the burden of maintaining this large codebase to someone else. Basically: “I have this huge AI-generate

You don't even need training data, a bot that play itself à la AlphaZero will eventually collect more data than there are of actual games.

From [1], I asked a few students to read aloud the titles of some essays they’d submitted that morning. For homework, I had asked them to use AI to propose a topic for the midterm essay. Most students had reported that the AI-genera

Claude Code really helped me with this recently. I have a rather old dotfiles repository (10+ years) for my Arch system, and I can really feel the fatigue from updating and maintaining it. So much so that over the years, it has accumulated

What I really really want to read in a README is *why* did you build this? The "rationale" section of a README is almost always the most interesting part. I can read the code, I can understand how it works but I cannot know why yo
