Ocasionally. It's always for boilerplate code that I can't be bothered to look up/rewrite, and I always have the ability to verify what the tool spits out, so I don't see it as too risky there. I'd never vibe code a

Well, software design and architecture are the big ones. Programming a system in its most basic sense is pretty easy, while structuring it so it's understandable and easy to maintain is a whole 'nother story. If you need a great e

Honestly, I'm surprised authorities haven't come down hard on these 'marketplaces' for neglience given how often they seem to completely ignore both safety and IP laws. I guarantee a smaller company would probably be sue

Except both corporations and academia require them, and it's likely you'll need them at some point in your everyday life too. You can't run many types of business on tablets and smartphones alone.

It's hilariously bad. For one thing, it seems to try to find an 'explanation' for anything you type in, no matter how ridiculous that might be or if there's even any info on it online at all. It's become a common me

Yeah, something like 95% of project issues are management and planning issues, not programming or tech ones. So often projects start out without anyone on the team researching the original problem or what their users would actually need, th

I haven't moved away entirely, but I use a Windows PC for most of my personal projects now. Reason being that many tools are only created to run on Windows, or maybe Linux if you're lucky. It's especially bad in the world of

Oh, I know your pain all too well. As a fellow UK dev that spent the last year or so looking for a new job before finding one, the market here is absolutely brutal for developers and software engineers. As you said yourself, the majority of

A surprising number of jobs could probably be done with AI right now, depressingly enough. Look at programming. Yes, AI is nowhere near as good as a decent programmer, can't handle rarer or more esoteric languages and frameworks well a

I mean it makes sense. The biggest problem with the internet today is that all the big tech companies want to automate as much as possible, and that necessarily means quality and organisation will take a massive hit. Google services, Facebo

It's a great video, and a nice wakeup call for a lot of people online these days. That said, there are a few things that need a bit more exploration here: 1. Context collapse (the idea of people finding conversations out of context and

Tried it on 3 random videos I watched, and the results were... mostly good, albeit mixed. On the one hand, it got my video about a Mario & Luigi: Brothership glitch dead right, immediately listing where you'd need to die to get an

Generally I agree with the article, and I do feel that trying to replace everyone with AI will backfire in various ways. Lots of big companes will find that out the hard way, especially in the tech industry and other more regulated fields l

There are definitely a fair few companies laying off programmers at the moment, though few of the ones I've seen blamed it on AI (usually more either overhiring, the pandemic ending and usage going down, or someone thinking they can ou

I'd say fanworks are a good example of this, albeit more in the legally grey area than the proven illegal one. You can't really run a business selling derivative works, so things like fan fiction, fan games and mods kinda remain u

There's also the challenge of getting the right audience for the site, especially in the early days. Hacker News isn't just popular because it's a tech forum, but because it's one where many of the smartest, most resourc

I like the feature if it can be switched off. Having the site auto adjust based on the system settings is great, but I really dislike any system that tries to enforce certain options on me with no way to change them.

JQuery is also heavily associated with WordPress nowadays, since that CMS calls it by default. Makes me wonder what the stats would be like should WordPress ever stop using jQuery altogether...

I wouldn't be surprised if expectations have already increased in many years because of these tools. A lot of coding tests for new roles seem to expect a level of work that would have taken a week or so a few years back, and I half sus

Damn, according to that list there are 382 games in the series so far, without counting the various spinoffs and sub series where Mario doesn't play a starring role (Yoshi, Donkey Kong Country, Wario Land, WarioWare, Princess Peach Sho

So, am I the only one who finds it kinda amusing that right after a game about avoiding dark patterns, we get a Substack email sign up that seems like it's subtly trying to manipulate you into using it (the bouncing arrow, obvious bord

Yeah this confused me quite a bit too. I thought the point was to spot the misleading options and avoid them/do whatever was necessary to fix the sneaky tricks the site pulled, not deliberately fall for it to find out why it's mis

May the pattern continue. They've been resting on their laurels for far too long, and the quality of their search results is abysmal because of it. Attempts at actually fighting AI generated content and respun SEO garbage are basically

Possibly. Though I think relying on any China based services is a poor choice, since the US government will be just as likely to try and block/restrict them for similar reasons to TikTok. Honestly surprised we haven't seen any Eur

Hmm, not 100% sure this is a dark pattern so much as it is idiotic design. I remember it being quite common for sites to hide the real checkbox/radio button and use a custom component for it, since the former were difficult to style vi
