Are you sure it’s not just a government responding to its population? This war is deeply unpopular just about everywhere, it makes sense to anyone who wants to be re elected to avoid any involvement in it. (an aside but I can’t help feeling

Some might say the tradeoff of writing a small wrapper is worth it given what’s been demonstrated here.

Irony is that Node has no need for Axios, native fetch support has been there for years, so in terms of network requests it is batteries included.

I was specifically thinking of Cursor when I said “companies with twenty billion dollar valuations”. My point, as I think was clear, was that criticising the founders of billion dollar companies via satire is not “punching down” by any mean

Punching down? To companies worth twenties of billions of dollars? The impulse to label everything a “startup” and thus a smolbean little guy is fascinating.

> The implication that Cursor is a fraudulent company is a little weird To my reading the premise of the site is pretty straightforward: 30 Under 30 is a warning sign, not a positive signal. Therefore, as a company with 4 founders who we

In the section that says: 100% SATIRICAL — SCORES ARE FICTIONAL AND DO NOT REFLECT REAL-WORLD FRAUD RISK ? Personally I think it’s not a bad thing to be a little skeptical about brand new companies with double digit billion dollar valuation

I don’t know, it reads more like a “told you so” than envy to me. I don’t get the impression the author wants to be these people. “Told you so” can be quite a tranquil feeling.

They’re pointing out fraud. Is that a bad thing now? I think it’s fair game to point out that the the 30 under 30 hype list is just that: hype. And there’s often very little substance underneath hype. And sometimes there’s outright deceit u

If I were you I’d very worried about getting laid off. That kind of work isn’t going to keep earning a software engineer salary.

I hope that’s exaggeration because being unable to operate without it means you’re going to do a terrible job of reviewing the code it’s producing.

Go is garbage collected, though. Rust and Swift still occupy a niche Go doesn't.

Eh, I don't think Swift would ever have dethroned Python. What pain point would it practically solve? I don't use Python often but I don't hear folks complaining about it much. I do, though, think Swift had/has(?) a chan

...money? My point is a simple one: the company was hired by someone. Was it the opposition party? To say this is entirely Israel's doing implies the Slovenian party that benefits just happens to have gotten lucky. The reality is likel

You might say the same about garbage collected programming languages. It’s an acceptable tradeoff in a lot of scenarios. Same goes for AI.

by afavour 7mo ago
No, AI is truly useful in software engineering. I was a skeptic until I started using it. No, it isn’t going to solve every problem out there, but it’s a force multiplier.
