AI in general at the time was led by a VP and a particular group (that was AI tech specialized) under him. The initial idea came about from them. We were trying to find new ways of using AI to research new sources of crude at the time. Anot

I was a developer at Shell a couple years back and led a project where we were using nascent GPT-1/2 to process and search over mountains of documents. It was a fun project where I wrote a complex/fancy UI for a stratigraphic filt

What kind of stupid statement is this...no it certainly does not. But humor me with an explanation, please...

The 'light-based' network thing kinda threw me for a second...wifi IS technically light, its just a frequency (RF) at which we can't see it and that can (somewhat) penetrate walls.

Yes, I do this too...its a different thing when you are talking about your own insular project or something at a smaller scale. The thing I was talking about was larger scale projects like the ones mentioned by the author (of the sort I wor

I really wish software was written this way these days. These days I am always being rushed through sprints barely knowing what is going on. What you described sounds like a wonderful way to actually engineer a great API.

Yea... DO has some really great documentation for their services so I am hopeful they will only enhance/make-better css-tricks.

Ease of use is a separate topic from money no matter how much you want to try and mix the two. Yes one is often at the cost of the other...but they are different topics.

mobile is much more akin to desktop development because the API's/etc are specific to each device type (android/iphone). The web is a different beast from that too.

I write web apps for a living and literally ran into this last week...and was promptly annoyed when I realized chrome was ignoring the attribute to disable it.

I especially love typescript when it comes to refactors or API changes...on my team we strictly type as much as possible and it has made refactors and API changes so much easier and fail-proof. For example if an API change occurs on backend

Google started rendering pages before indexing a while back because of this...so generally it's ok from an indexing perspective (assuming you still have working URLs that can also be loaded in the same way for all your linked-to conten
