Let's pretend I'm the audience, and imagine that in the past I said those things ("fix the bug" and "look at the code"). What should I say now? "AI works in mysterious ways"? Doesn't sound very u

We don't. That's an artificially created divide meant to create competition between different areas of a company to increase productivity.

Does that really matter? He is trying to lax the general public perception around AIs shortcomings. He's giving AI a break, at the expense of regular developers. This is wrong on two fronts: First, because many people foresaw the AI sh

Can you make a video? Just record your screen for 30 minutes while working in this setup, in a real problem. It would be worth more than 1000 blogposts. That would shut up a lot of skeptics. I'm surprised live coding videos are not the

I wish these articles would go all the way showing a decent visualization of the increase. I remember something like a KML overlay that would display magnetic data on Google Earth, but it was kind of obsolete and didn't had any histori

Oh shit, I wasn't expecting you to be serious about it. Well, in that case, I need some sources. For example, I'm not convinced that people project on social media to the extent that you're implying they do. It's a state

I find the obsession of tech people with "mental skills" unusual. Also, a huge problem that borders on terrible ideas on how to organize society. Ideas that I'm definitely not fond of.

Can you make a video showcasing one of those redefined agentic engineers? No tutorial, no rehearsing, just an organic capture of someone working with those tools in a real world problem.

Why do we even need bot technology in the first place? Some future dream that never materializes? Nope. Just ban the technology.

You should do a video on that, like a live coding session. Not a tutorial, an organic recording of you being a badass context engineer. That would make it easier to get the message across.

I'm pretty sure Neelix is not familiar with replicators. It seems no one in the delta quadrant is. This is evidenced by both Neelix's and the Kazon surprise when the Voyager crew is able to replicate water. There is a catch in the

That is just not true. Holoprogramming is a recurring theme in TNG and VOY. There's even a recurring character that is supposed to represent this role of specialized programmer, Reginald Barclay, among other one-ofs (such as Dr. Zimmer

I genuinely do not understand this. You can totally still do that for learning purposes. The only thing you cannot do anymore is show off such projects. The portfolio of mini-tutorials is definitely a bygone concept. I actually like that pa

Think of it this way: if your problem can be solved by an LLM with the same quality, then it's not a problem worthy of a human to tackle. It probably never was in the first place, we just didn't knew. The only exception here is le

It seems to be convenient for some cases. A large object with many keys, for example. I don't see it as particularly convenient if I want to stream a large array of small independent objects and read each one of them once, then discard

Interesting approach. I would expect an object JSON stream to be more like a SAX parser though. It's familiar, fast and simple. Any thougts on not chosing the SAX approach?
