Why would you stop learning new things? I lead a team of developers as part of my current role, reviewing and approving what they work on (in addition to doing development and architecture design as well) and from my experience, the differ

That take is pretty disingenuous and it makes it hard to take an argument seriously. Who are you to say they did nothing? If someone uses an AI agent to distribute tasks to it like a tech architect does to a team of developers by teaching w

With this logic, what is the point to read a book about false events that did not happen? Can we please stop attacking everyone's version of fun or what makes them happy just because it isn't exactly what we like?

Totally inaccurate comparison. Garbage dumped on the side of the road is still garbage. It's more like if someone dumped lab-grown diamonds on the side of the road that are virtually indistinguishable from mined diamonds. Someone would

But this is leaving out the part where the developers that clean up or rewrite... will do it using LLMs. Have you tried refactoring or porting codebases larger than a million lines of code pre-gen-AI and again post-gen-AI? It's night a

Every piece of software you have interacted with that's run by a company and has been updated within the last 6 months? You'd be hard pressed to find a company not using AI to develop software.

Do people actually use languages where it doesn't do any compile time checks on the API in 2026? Why would developers put up with the lack of that. I'm not in this ecosystem but what you are describing sounds like the bare minimum

Take a 2 million line of code repo and ask it to convert from programming language A to B and statically verify every logic flow with an AST for each lang, and then get it to write a test harness that hits 100% code coverage, screenshots ev

I'm surprised that the story in question didn't result in the person being attacked for daring to use Gen AI. The bubble of contacts I have on Facebook seems hell bent on "educating" everyone that all AI is harmful and t

Claude has 1 to 2 nines of uptime if you check their uptime history on their site. And I'll note that their definition of up is... generous. Plenty of times I encounter it saying no issues when there are abundant service issues.

One could also make hotdogs and eat them without developing any skill as a chef, but it's unlikely there would be thousands of blog posts complaining about the downsides of microwaved hotdogs every week.

If there is an objectively correct right or wrong answer for a given command, why even ask? In that case there should be a configuration page where the user sets up if they want commonly used credentials to be accessible or not, and then th

The Windows updates have become so unreliable and broken so many laptops that my org switched to Linux and it's been smooth sailing ever since. Can't believe the amount of frustration we put up with using Windows for so long. Mayb

It gets a bit more complicated than that. I don't even regularly need things from my doctor, but I have a referral to a specialist right now, and the waiting time is around 16 months to be contacted by them. At that time they will rand

This is likely a completely honest and plausible experience of the author, while at the same time still feeling like someone trying to use a pottery wheel and then concluding that pottery wheels are not suitable for producing very good art

They are completely real and the people posting in the comments are not lying or exaggerating. Why do you think sites that host images require tens of thousands of content moderators? It's not for fun, they would avoid it if they could

This is interesting to me because when beginners come to me for help with git and they're using a GUI, the first thing I do is tell them to ditch it and learn the CLI.

It's still not piecing together 100% for me, sorry I'm not trying to be obtuse or anything. So maybe let me simplify my question: If I set up both a copy of a database with values encrypted by CipherStash, and an application serve

It's high but totally achievable with "loop" style harnesses or lots of parallel subagents/agent teams.

My guess: If they end up being denied then it's easier to not let them back in by not letting them cross the border whereas if it's in the country it's harder to locate them to deport? Seems pretty brutal to me though.

Seems... really good?! Questions: - rendering capabilities of this seem like it should also be able to handle 2d well, or am I mistaken? every solution I see for getting high quality 2d images or rasterization in terminal is all pretty bad.

I sincerely hope that you successfully navigate whatever it is that you are going through. This is not a sane or normal view of the world.

Adding query strings is one of those things that I think a lot of sites could get away with more easily if they were reasonable about it. A link that is "https:// web.site" is fine. A link that is "https:/&#x2F

They think they know better than what the user wants. If someone who is not a power user Googles "how to turn off updates" they do not want that user to be able to find an option on how to do it, because the user won't unders

I used Windows since my first PC on 3.1. But recently it just became too much. Switched over to Mint for just over a year now and loving it. No issues at all for development or gaming. The machine just works. No lag at the lock screen, typi
