Career wise? Software engineering, 100%. That's not going away, and this is an industry that mostly does still care about university degrees (though I'm sure you could self-study, build a small portfolio and go that route and have

Heh, Sales Engineer is what we used to call the guy stuck doing demoware for the sales team that'd never get turned into a real product.

I'm with you on this (Australian here), but the difference is in the US the police basically need to be prepared for any issue to escalate due to the US being an insane dystopia.

I chuckled at SVG being called human readable.

Yep, log onto govt website, check what they've prefilled (based on reporting requirements by your employer, which covers the vast majority of people), put in any deductions, submit. I was shocked to learn this isn't the norm.

Which is exactly what Google was found to be doing for Bard with ShareGPT.

100% expect this to do with mixing Unix timestamps and timezones. Constant recurring footgun in my career.

I think this is only true of the lower end where poorly performing companies are looking to hire poorly performing (or junior) devs, where they care more about bums in seats than actual productivity per person.

More of a legacy code thing, but in my experience a lot of devs will race towards labelling legacy code as "bad" code because it doesn't meet some superficial standard. If I had a dollar for everytime I heard this from a dev

So I guess just ignore all the people getting real value out of ChatGPT/etc? How can you compare that to crypto at all with a straight face. Yes, you need to be an expert to validate the output. Welcome to being an expert using any too

Time for everyone to overreact and let the culture war theatrics disguise politicians' dismal care for the systems they're actually supposed to be running. If you're finding yourself enraged over this, you need to question yo

Well you know what they call un-optimized code? Shipped :)

I was able to tease out a graph traversal function that suited a few atypical usecases yesterday. Definitely a handy tool.

I still don't really understand the concern here. You can get it to generate foul material if you ask for it; I'm sure most humans would oblige you if you asked them to do that too, which while may colour your opinion of them as t

Employee here, I really enjoyed full remote work during the pandemic, but I have to admit after 6 months I started to feel pretty lonely. I think for mental health reasons employees should be encouraged to at least do hybrid, but I do expec

Not really. I like seeing the number go up so I know some people found a past comment engaging, but I don't agonize over it.

I can't quite articulate what it is, but there's a certain "glimmer" when his head turns a few times, but other than that this is shockingly convincing. If I wasn't primed to expect a deepfake I'd probably not

I haven't written java in a long time, but I remember this requirement being a thorn in the side of many of my subclasses.

I think they make sense if used correctly; the act of toggling immediately changes the state of the app to match the state of the toggle. If you're tracking a dirty state and the action doesn't occur until a Save/etc button i
