Programming as in “monkey typing same boilerplate crap over and over again” or punching holes in cards if you prefer 60 year old analogy - yes. Programming as in “software engineering” - no. Because it isn’t about choosing the bext most pr

Claude Code is very good at monkey work of replicating a boilerplate for another 100th variant of some overengineered and bloated piece of java code in a codebase with 99 examples to follow. It’s like a fire extinguisher that helps engineer

That sounds to me then that the problem is not only that PE are incentivized only by profits. But also by the system that disconnects end user’s satisfaction (families with kids on spectrum in this case) from the profit. In other words if u

What sane person even cares about that monster and their shitty products today anyway? Unless hands are tied by work or contract. The sooner they drown the better for everyone and the industry.

Landau these days doesn’t look like a “broad coverage” at all. More like “many specific topics and areas covered in a set of books under same authors”. Also Landau was one of the last (probably the last) polymath physicists who covered a wi

by aristofun 10mo ago
Landau was Einstein+ level genius and the course was a soviet theoretical physics bible many years ago. But it’s not a good educational resource by modern standards and pretty dated.

Sorry to disappoint but unless you possess some rare and unique skill in the grand scheme of things you are a commodity. Business is not your mommy nor a nobel prize committee, it doesn’t care if you are smart or not. It only cares if you c
