I don't know if this is your point, but we're hearing the same stores with AI. Do these people really mean what they say or are they just lying to paint themselves as honorable

How can you say that when workers don't have a choice? What accessible job has professional level pay and is part time?

There's a moral line that every person has to make about what work they're willing to do. Things aren't always so black and white, we straddle that line The impression I got reading the article is that they didn't want

Whats "really good"? Pydantic? Mypy with dataclasses and built in typings? Is integration with Django okay? Genenily curious, not sarcastic. Im coming from from static typing and learning python ecosystem. Im still searching to m

You're not "reviewing" ai's slop code. If you're using it for generation, use it as a starting point and fix it up to the proper code quality

I say the opposite, the lack of tooling highlights the weakness of the language. The drive to make it declarative/mimic "natural" language by reshuffling and overloading can be "delightful" to some, but beyond the p

Honestly it makes me roll my eyes, "let's describe our software utility as if we're trapped in a perfume commercial". But on the other hand, I think when creating something it does help to have underlying vision, even if

I'm being overly dramatic and petty with "hate". it's all totally personal preference... but not a fan of classic oop, I think "lets make programming syntax like conversation speaking" is dumbest idea i've

For saas as a solo dev, Rails would be faster for you to get up and running, rails also specifically caters to solo SaaS devs. but python is much more popular (you can look up the yearly stack overflow survey for more info) and you'll

This isn't scalable for any kind environment with multiple services and teams. Can you imagine "actually the table display will be handled by the User service BE, we'll just inject it". The reason why people reach for re

"AI will kill white collar, those people should just go into trades, they can become plumbers". Great idea, except that's not how supply/demand works. AI didn't create the need for more toilets.

What makes you think we need more trades people?

How does he feel about that? how long did his apprenticeship last, did even need one or did he have an "in"? How does his pay relate to old software work? How is the toll on his body? Does he think he can keep doing it into old ag

For me, the issue isn't that I'm unwilling to learn new things. It's that I cannot use these keybindings anywhere else. Almost all online editors and workstations have some sort of vim keybindings. When I ssh into a Linux mac

I'm not so sure. You'd still need to figure out how to find and attract the people you want to be around while keeping the people you don't want out. Itd probably be easier to keep trying different avenues until you find a gr

Some of the best programmers I know are competent, smart, and well adjusted people who chose this career and put in the work because of the demand. Some will tell you they don't even like programming. And some of the worst programmers
