My team runs OpenCode, Pi, and Copilot — three different folder structures, three different YAML headers, three different everything. If you've felt that pain, this one's for you. A rant about lock-in, dead frameworks, and the ens

Love story for keeping AI frameworks minimal and sing praise to Pi Agent. While giving a few samples why.

The last two companies I worked for had UI/UX teams with knowledgeable directors. It is not dead; it is just that some people don't see the ROI in it.

That is a bit how the Germans did all the nice things during WW2. Just remove personal integrity and go along with the flow.

In my home country, we have a saying: "No religion or politics in the bar." People who drink alcohol best avoid these as you end up in a fight sooner or later. We also do this at work. I am here to do a job. Just keep it focused o

I installed a FTP server on the professors computer. It automatically shared your network disk once you logged in. All the COBOL assignments and solutions where there. Juvenile but hey....

As far as I see there are 2 uses for VPN. 1/ Being "safer" using public wifis. I use 5g hotspot to my phone to avoid that. 2/ Proxy to other countries for streaming reasons. Still use it for this. All the rest is just bo

Hacking a social media site together and break stuff is fine. Move fast and kill people and iterate seems not so fine.

Fun fact I still leave at 5pm. People mostly not work outside work times except if it is planned or you are on call. Not in Europe no Sir ;)

Thank god this is happening. It cut down my reddit time and replaced it with actually doing some work.

I have a feeling good things get "improved" upon but I never really saw what it brought. What I do like about reddit. It is still one place where you just use an email address and nick name. So you can be anonymous. Or reasonable

Not sure what the point of your comment was. But if he is French and that is connected to the Latin hence he had good(weird?) vocabulary. English vocab is also mostly derived from Latin. "80% of the words in the English dictionary are

English is my 3rd language. I read only English not in my native tongue. I used to keep a booklet with me write down words I didn't understand. Looked them up later. After a while had a big list which I regularly. Kindle shows you the

Exactly... People sitting next to me ping me on team chat instead of talking. Everyone zoom calls all the time where I can hear other people in other zoom meetings in our zoom meeting. I hate it. when we worked full remote. We gave a stipen

He talks about hybrid which I agree is shit. Too much juggling going on. You either go full remote and organize yourself around async and better written communication. Or you all sit in the office the whole time and much of the comms is jus

It is even worse on mobile. When reading "news" There is one sentence on the screen to read. The rest is popups, advertising video. Can't even figure out where the actual article is... Helped me with one thing though. Stopped

Maybe the location becomes a problem? In my home country life is expensive too. Moved to a lower cost one. Bought land, build a house have a big garden. Raise animals and grow my own crops. I build solar panels and have my own waterwells. I

I agree with you indie creators in general get more slack from me. But for example when I pay triple A prices for video games I'm quite critical :)

I am an older geek. I never got the CoC against sexual harassments. It is f*cking illegal. Should be reported to the police and taken care of by the actual laws. Coc seems like a law thing but who is enforcing it? Laws you have democratic e

Most things I do suck when I look at 6 months later. If that wasn't the case you are not really improving.

Most of the older software engineers are tinkerers. Like when I was a kid I tried to take apart all my toys and see how it worked. When a computer magazine came out with a game listing I typed it in and learned from it. Then moved and chang
