The "continuous wars" is a weird comment. Unless you mean internet flame wars, because if "globalization" subsides real wars will happen more often. We kind of see it already as more and more people start leaning right h

Exactly, this is the "peaked in high school" stereotype and it's not good.

Isn't the point of the comment above to not even want to be up to date with every detail of people that are objectively not that important in your personal life? Not to decrease the social media usage because you feel you're up to

Yeah SaaS is a different beast. Lots of areas worth hardening. Not really for customers but mainly for yourself. But desktop apps, mobile apps, self-hosted stuff, games, CLIs, libraries - you don't really have to worry about much.

If customers do mind then at best it's an opportunity cost (less people will buy). Shipping with bugs > not shipping, simple as.

It's a pity that heuristics are not mentioned in most language books or dictionaries. At least I wasn't taught any in school (10+ years ago). This should be next to the word definition.

I agree that they are very important but I still call it dumb in a "it's stupid that we have to do this because we suck as a human species" kind of way.

Why did you read that as 2 though? Is there a context clue I'm missing or is there some grammar rule I don't know of? Honest question, I'm Polish. For me there's a huge gap between 1 and 2 so it might cause misunderstand

"Appreciate" is a weird word. At least for me (not an English speaker) it has a positive connotation so with that in mind I sure hope nobody appreciates the importance of optics. The concept is dumb but it is important and we ha

Maybe because you care about what others think you actually tell yourself that you need to write and read more to become "better" (not necessarily than others, just "better" as a person because you feel inadequate) and y

> everyone keeps coming to you to name things Nah, not really. Years ago when we worked in office and I was still a junior we did discuss naming things here and there but I didn't like those conversations. It's all just opinion

We created precise artificial languages to avoid programming in natural languages which would absolutely suck due to never ending ambiguity. I hope that what you're hoping never happens :V It would mean the docs would have to turn into

It could be "dangerous" even sometimes if you're not paying attention. In JS/TS "||" operator evaluates the right side when the left side is "falsy". "Falsy" doesn't mean only null&#x2F

After 10 years as a commercial dev I've noticed I don't really care about things like this. Not sure if it ever made a difference. The "local code" - as in anything within a function or often a single class (1-2k LoC is

I'd say it depends more on "the production" than the human. There are legal means to hold all people accountable for their actions ("Gross neglience" and all that). So you can basically always trust that people will

Seriously though, what are you doing? Every single example everywhere throughout the internet that tries to show how good AI is at programming shows so mindbogglingly simplistic examples that it's getting annoying. It sure is a great l

I'm not sure about the average but I have 0 data. We will see in the future because the generation currently entering the workforce still used computers a bit due to tablets and phones not being that powerful. It's all about peeps

Tbh, as a AI power user (dev) - what is there to learn? Maybe one day to figure out that you have to write prompts in a certain way but you don't have to learn that "before the job" in any shape or form. It's way more im

There’s a high possibility that AI will have exactly the opposite effect on work productivity for young people, at least for this generation, because technology in companies around the world lags years or even decades behind for simple econ

ffmpeg should be config-based with verbose descriptive names for everything. It doesn't make sense in its CLI form. It's far from human-readable since a very long time.

I grew up on a farm in the 90's in Poland (In 89' Poland dissolved PPR/PRL - basically just got rid of communism so villages were quite poor) and I did have to work in the field as that was our main source of food (honestly p

According to conversion rates and engagement metrics of most apps I've seen (not even mentioning social media where 2-3% engagement is the norm) most users are ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Unless said app is a work/hobby tool, but that shouldn

It's different when you show something to someone with intent. Of course they will pay attention. Especially your family, come on. I'm talking about random day to day browsing when you stumble on something random on the internet.

I wonder if that's actually a good idea. The best time to start learning a skill/trade (includes white collar stuff) seems to be when it's not YET in demand. For example, the worst time to start learning software development
