Isn't part of why Apple's iPhone can be so expensive is because it's very easy to get actual human support for it when something goes wrong? You probably didn't make the mistake at Microsoft, but I've seen people lo

You sure seem to assume a lot about me for someone who is so confidently incorrect. I wish you well, I suspect you may need it.

Have you met the average programmer on a thursday afternoon after a terrible week of little sleep, family issues and unnecessary meetings? When I'm in that state of mind myself I'm fairly confident that any LLM could explain my we

Splitting your code up into multiple functions across multiple files is computer unfriendly code. It'll cause L1, L2 and L3 cache misses. Yet it's heailed as very human friendly and maintainable by Uncle Bob and his disciples. As

I think it comes down to "it depends". I work in a NIS2 regulated field and we're quite callenged by the fact that it means we can't give AI's any sort of real access because of the security risk. To be complaint we

I work in a NIS2 regulated sector and I'm not sure we can ever let any AI agent run in anything we do. We have a centralized sollution where people can build their own chatbots with various configurations and cross models. That's

You still have to get Google Play to get the apps. It's better but it's not like it makes us less reliant on Google in the current way these apps are distributed.

Even in the EU we can't use a lot of "society important" smartphone apps without Google Play or the Apple Store. I can get a physical key thing for my national digital ID, but I can't get anything for my bank, my healthc

Microsoft and IBM don't. Then they don't really post jobs for their own stuff. It's mainly to sell consultant services like selling Mainframe SWE's service to banks. If you mean jobs in my area in general then there are

Bridgefy, Firechat, Bitchat and other bluetooth/wifi peer-to-peer SoMe's are great as long as you're enough people around. As long as you don't rely on one of the big tech app stores (or use an iPhone), it's not har

Zig is a drop-in for C. I'm not sure what Rust is but around here no C++ teams seem to be adopting it. Zig on the other hand is seeing adoption in teams who write C for Python binaries. Not a whole lot of it since it's not exactly

Couldn't you simply set up your own instance and link up with the wider network? I guess you would have to age verify yourself if you live in a country that requires it, but regulating that would be sort of hilarious.

I've been around for a while. The closest we ever got was probably RPA. This time it's different. In my organisation we have non-programmers writing software that brings them business value on quite a large scale. Right now it&#x2

I think a lot of people, regardless of whether they vibe code or not are going to be replaced by a cheaper sollution. A lot of software that would've required programmers before can now be created by tech savy employees in their respec

To be fair to AI, it's not like Clean Code and it's OOP cult weren't already causing L1-3 cache misses by every abstraction and how they spread their functions out over multiple files. I'm not sure AI can really make it

Maybe I don't understand it correctly but to me this reads like the author isn't actually using AI agents. I don't talk or write prompts anymore. I write tasks and I let a couple of AI agent complete those tasks. Exactly how

I'm not saying Apple can't go the way of Microsoft, but if you've used macOS and Windows through the previous 5 years there isn't much of a comparison. Windows has gone from something I tolerated to something I absolutel

C# is great, but look at the implementations. The jvm is set up wrong, so JAVA could perform better than what is benchmarked. Hell with Python you'd probably use Celery or numpy or ctypes to do this much faster. So overall the benchmar
