Not the parent commenter, but why would you assume that he meant LLMs specifically? I'm one of the "tech people not interested in AI" and I mean everything around AI/ML. I just like writing OG code man. I like architectu

Same with "Pampers" in Poland. Everyone says "pampersy" when referring to just generic diapers. Almost nobody buys the literal "Pampers" brand.

A few weeks is definitely BS, but I took 3 years of German in high school and after roughly 3 months of 30min-1hr daily Duolingo I was already past the high school material. I mean in our high school (Poland) it was like maybe 1 lesson (45m

Here's the funny thing though (as a developer which worked for various companies that didn't have designers): It looks custom designed because... it's not designed at all :D At this point I'm not even sure if what you sa

Everyone wants developers to learn everything all the time... Software development, infrastructure management, testing, business analysis, design, even marketing and communication sometimes. We have to pick our battles. Guess what employers

Powershell 7+ (a long while ago named core) is the version you should use on ALL platforms, including Windows. It's just the most recent version. "Core" gives off a vibe that it is some limited thingy. It's not, it'

Yeah but we're mentioning the performance of the language. People do have a baseline level of accepted performance, but this is about perceived performance and if software feels slow most of the time it's just because of some dumb

by amonith 1y ago
Sure, but this is perceived performance and it's 100% unrelated to the language. It's bugs, I/O, telemetry, updates, ads, other unnecessary background things, or just dumb design (e.g. showing onedrive locations first when tr

You do you. Most people don't care about software that much in general. The most important thing is that it does the job and it does it securely. C won't help you with bugs in any shape or form (in fact it's famously bug-frie

by amonith 1y ago
I think you misunderstood. That's exactly the problem. C developers consider slow performance harmful, which is often dumb.

Because it's objects, not text. It "scales" a lot better in your brain because in general you need to know a lot less than in bash. No more awkward sed and awk scripts, manipulating objects is a breeze. Awkward syntax at plac

eh `cmd /C "set KEY=value && ./myApp"` isn't that bad if you really need complete isolation.

I believe that all platforms with voting eventually become an echochamber. Unless they are partitioned into several smaller chambers, like reddit. Here the partitioning also exists, but is invisible (only some people interact with programmi

Imagine 1000 numbers in XML and a XSLT with xsl:for-each which renders a div with a label, textbox with the number and maybe a button. That's a simple example. Output would be a lot longer than XML+XSLT.

That sounds plausible in theory, but I've been developing big ol' LOB apps for more than 10 years now and it happens very very sporadically. I mean bloated joins is maybe the most common, but never near enough bloated to be an act

I was under the impression that LLMs do tokenize upper and lower case differently so prompting all in lowercase would yield different results. Is this incorrect?

Same, as C# dev I love Flutter. However I just know in my bones that Google will ditch it some day. It's been too many years without significant adoption and it will stop making sense in the corporate spreadsheet one day.

You're absolutely right, but explaining the cost to the employer and/or the client and getting approvals to even use Docker will be a PITA. Currently for smaller clients of the software house I work for we (normal employees) were

Worth mentioning that the IT jobs crisis is mostly an US thing. It's still relatively easy to find a dev job in Poland or many other EU countries. It's worse than before, as in bootcamps are no longer enough, but as a mid+ it&#x27

There's a "threat simulation theory" that sort of explains it, but it's not 100% correct for everyone. TL;DR: in dreams your brain often seems to practice "threats"/stressful situations. E.g. you're m

I see your comment grayed out as if it was downvoted but this is 100% true and my colleagues share your sentiment. I still think writing is valuable (as is note-taking as a whole) for personal reasons but most people I know assume that most
