This really resonates with me. Of course it's great to create something that other people enjoy, share it with them, get feedback etc. But it also might create a pressure that will strip off all the pleasure from the activity complete

I don’t know how the future will look like, but for now LLMs just help me to do the job quicker and become unstuck in case of some issues like “how do I write that regex”. I believe developers performance will increase with these tools, but

Your post was not a disagreement. You intentionally rephrased what I said and implied that I'm lying and all the atrocities (many of them, but not all, well documented) done by russians are propaganda. By doing this, you help russians

There are lots of officially confirmed reports regarding killed civilians. Is UN a good source for you? I've checked your account and you basically comment only on political issues. > Oh, and a 12 year old HN account originating in

Their "assimilation" is basically a genocide: they displace people, "reeducate" children and move them from their parents to russian families, forcibly conscript Ukrainians on the occupied territories to die in wars etc.

The reason for the war is clearly stated by russian officials and propaganda: they want their empire to extend, and they (Medvedev as example) directly say that Ukrainians are "artificial" nation and should not exist. Any deal wit

I'm Ukrainian who left the village I was in one day before russians entered it. In a short time they were there, they killed 80+ civilians. Lots of similar cases are well documented everywhere. It's not a propaganda, it's fac

If Ukraine gives up, people will be genocided. If Putin gives up, he just can announce that the goals of his special military operation have been reached and continue living as it's now.

Oh, these memories:). This game, along with old DOS Arcade Volleyball inspired me to create a clone using GameMaker. I think it was the first game I created when I was in high school:).

I imagine that for MS pushing Bing to Apple could be beneficial even for free:). This would force Apple to use their own search engine instead of working with Google, thus hurting both Google and Apple. So it's natural that the deal di

I think that over time the usefulness of many such examples diminishes, but at least in the transition period to the new tech I see them very useful. We will see soon:).

You actually quoted that they are very open about their main reason for paying local rates: they want to be competitive as a business, and if for the same amount of money they can hire more good employees, there is no reason not to do this:

They actually do not hide the main reason and state it first: "If we start paying everyone the highest wage our compensation costs would increase greatly, we can hire fewer people, and we would get less results." That's why I

Not a new book. But I definitely recommend it, as well as The Making of Prince of Persia by Jordan Mechner. Interesting reads about fascinating times.

It's possible that the end goal for him is to have a political influence and not some kind of direct profit from X(Twitter) as a compan. Then the revenue is not a problem, but the plummeting number of users is.

I get that splitting can be useful and logical in many particular situations. But when we talk about very general case like being a good engineer, it is definitely not a good way to reason.
