Sounds like a great way for non-technical employees to begin not only wasting their time but engineers’ time too. I gave a clever PM read only access to our codebase and instructed him on using Claude to access it and do research, but he do

They’re able to give an honest assessment of the ways that they’ve changed when using these tools. And how these tools changed their own day to day, and possibly their team’s. We’re still in the early days of this.

The LLMs are a crapshoot, and probably always will be, for reliable automatic fixing of anything. They save me time 50% of the time. The other 50% they just can’t put enough together to grok what the existing code does, but damn if their co

You mean short suggestions like copilot, or something like Claude Code that spitting out diffs?

Hah damn they. They gave us 0% financing on 2 lightly used trucks, and healthy value for a banged up used 4Runner with 120k miles. It was a no brainer.

It’s the same for me in Texas, delivery is easily 2/3 of my bill and fluctuates wildly. It’s not part of my quoted rate either, just tacked on.

Decide if you actually want a business degree. It may help you achieve your goal of not only working on side projects, but learning how to turn your side projects into legitimate businesses. And at many universities, you can change your maj

You’re not wrong, it is insane. I’ve been told by a few developers over my career that “comments are a code smell”. I believe this is well intentioned but ultimately harmful advice.
