I've found it detrimental to quality because people at my workplace are now submitting code changes in languages they don't really understand (like in multithreaded C++ code). The time they saved is taken from my time having to ex

My brother was identified as "gifted" and I was identified as having a "learning disability". He got pulled out of class to work with other gifted kids on special projects (like computer programming in the 90s). I got pu

Does it really matter? If the article is poor quality, then it is poor quality. It doesn't matter if it was written by a person or an LLM. I'm more annoyed how so many articles waste time quoting things people say on social media.

That's a lot of coffee. I guess that can add up if you go nearly every day, get something fancy, and pay for more than one person.

This is why I've been finding it difficult to learn Metal. Apple's documentation is terrible. The important information is in their WWDC video presentations, but a lot of that assumes you are already familiar with Metal. The most

Obviously not me, but I remember John Carmack regretting releasing Doom and Quake under GPL instead of BSD. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Carmack#:~:text=The%20sou...

I interviewed with Mozilla back when they were working on Firefox OS. The first question was to write a linked list in C++. Easy, I actually practiced that ahead of time. However, I forgot everything and started sweating profusely (Thankful

Why does the title say "slams" but neither the headline or URL contain "slams"? I think anything that says slams is not worth reading.

I check LinkedIn to see who is the next person to be laid off from my previous employer. They post a picture of their badge and write this overly positive thank you to the company for the opportunity. They laid you off after 30 years in a g

What's funny about the bullet points in section 3 is that it only compares to the previous noisy agent, rather than having no agent. 51% fewer false positives, median comments per pull request cut by half, spending less time managing i

What's funny is that searching for "cute framework fixed timestep" in Google points to this Hacker News thread as the first result. What I would have wanted to find is this page: https://randygaul.github.io/cu

I wish I could just submit my solution and be told if it passes instead of dealing with the AI Interviewer. A lot of problems don't have a leetcode equivalent.

The HN crowd often says they want something, but what they want tends not to stand out and be successful in the market. For example, HN people say they want a simple car with physical controls, or a basic non-smart TV, or a small smartphone

The author is clearly a C++ programmer. I've been noticing that these AI tools are worse at C++ than other languages, especially scripting languages. Whenever I try to learn from people that are using these tools successfully, they alw

I was disappointed that the book didn't have much to say about Alpha Centauri. I wish he would do a GDC postmortem for Alpha Centauri like he did for Civ 1.

It is a shame that "Civilization: Beyond Earth" was such a disappointment. Instead of interesting leaders, factions, and ideologies, we got "Space Africa" and "Space Australia". I wonder if there some legal iss

I suppose it depends where you draw the line between engine and framework. Factorio used parts of Allegro until 2018. https://www.factorio.com/blog/post/fff-230

Have people gotten into trouble for having a nearly empty phone when they get searched? Like using a burner phone or doing a factory reset prior to the trip. I've wondered if that would be considered suspecious.
