I do not believe you read my comment in good conscience. >>Claude was consistently doing database operations in a for loop, where it could use batch operations. >>The code in the end is better than a lot of the code I've se

In my country we have very protective labor laws, but what you describe is one of the few reasons that allow for instant termination: You refuse a direct order. If your boss says that he does not care about long term consequences and he wan

All the projects I work on have an explorative character. It's very difficult to design a product, build it and sell it. You need actual customer feedback. LLM code gives you a much faster feedback loop. If you have a clearly defined p

I am hand-holding the AI on the e2e setup. It mostly consists of Playwright + Cucumber + a test API to set up more complex scenarios. I also have unit tests for logic that lends itself to that. I also use mocked LLM responses for LLM projec

I am currently writing a lot of code that I am not reviewing anymore. These are all the things that make it work for me: - Work on small projects (< 500k lines of code). - Work for business people who want fast results. Agentic coding ge

Could you share what projects you are working on? (tech stack and size) I am mostly working on small to medium sized Next.js and Kotlin projects and Claude works really well, while Codex often misunderstood my instructions, while I was test

Mediocre is fine for many tasks. What makes a good software engineer is that he spots the few places in every software where mediocre is not good enough.

If you mean the Buddhist meditation: I joined a local group a few years ago. I wasn't super serious about the practice until I saw how directly it can improve my life. Even now it's hard to find this much time every day. This is a

Hey, I just wanted to let you know that I have the _exact_ same issue as you since 2 years. It was much worse than what you described 2 years ago. Now it's just very annoying. The diagnosis I got from my therapist is PTSD from my chikd

When learning new stuff I consider 2 things: - How much fun is the actual learning? - Can I actually apply what I am learning? So I would learn things that are either fun for you to learn or things that you can directly apply. For AI this m

Thank you for this in-depth reply! Your answer makes a lot of sense. Also thank you for writing the article!

In the article they talk about how printing an error from the anyhow crate in debug format creates a full backtrace, which leads to an OOM error. This happens even with 4 GB of memory. Why does creating a backtrace need such a large amount

What you describe is how development of basic packages that are part or on the level of the standard library should be done. The languages we are currently using will still be used decades from now. Slow good decisions now save much more ti

How do you think Meta profits off React and PyTorch? Just marketing to get good candidates?

No serious Java code uses booleans to indicate failure or success. It's on the same level as not using a language's standard variable naming scheme. It's not wrong, but something experienced Java developers working on good co

Great idea, that's exactly what I like to do as well. Because many people were interested in some actual code, here is an example that we used for Java: --- public class UserDao { private Provider<Session> sessionProvider;

One challenge I encountered in the past was syncing data between a SaaS software I built and customers' ERP systems. Building these integrations was an absolute pain because there often is no publicly available documentation. This mean

There is difference between expropriation and fair taxation. The problem as far as I can tell are tax loopholes that you can only abuse above some wealth threshold.

That's a good point. I personally always like Angular and React, because even with most simple projects there is this one feature that is so ridiculously complicated that making it slightly easier to develop and maintain is important t

The point where frameworks like Angular and React pay off and what I think of as complex projects are those where there is a some nontrivial feature. This coukd be a project with 1 developer working on it for 6 months. For example a static

Because in practice there is little value in making easier things easier. While 95% on the web are small projects, 95% of work is done on large projects. Many developers also dislike using many different frameworks, because that would requi

I think these eastern concepts (e.g. meditation concepts such as chakras, "organs" in traditional chinese medicine) are not meant as objective truths, but rather as useful mental models. Different mental models used in the same cu

This is how I think it roughly works where I live: You get a per-user token directly at the bank or via mail (not email, but a physical envelope). Your banking app can use this token once to get a secret key. Secret key + user name + passwo
