I find it's the opposite. Are Cheap hires, 10x devs that think the rules don't appply, bad managers, the work shy etc hurting your stand-ups?

nice. i've done simliar projects with unipis in hotels as its cheaper than crestron. Seeing that din rail brought back some memories. you can attach an infrared reciever to the pins and use lirc to then basically do whatever from a uni

you mean with buffers i.e. array.array . i thought that.

Most windows users have at least 4/5 versions of linux installed on their machine so it's a non issue. They have wsl, a base installed partition, vagrant, a VM and probably docker containers. so running one extra command to gen a

You really notice when you don't have it anymore after using it for several weeks. Writing each line again, each painful character one at a time. I keep accidently opening sublime and going to type then realising it doesn't have c

Not sure what you would take as evidence. You seem convinced. I have github repos. If you like, take any app idea. In any language you want. We can both spend 2 weeks building it. Screen record yourself making it and ill use copilot, you do

If you don't think it is. It says a great deal about you too :)

True. My son is on the waiting list several week now. But honestly traditional coding is the past. Soon they might be asking for someone with 12 months copilot experience. I don't mind the negative downvotes from luddites. Copilot is s

I do every day. I code 5 times faster on problems several times harder. You also get good at 'using copilot' just like you can be 'good at googling'. So if you not already doing it. Start now. IMO. There's literally

Well people were making API calls to stackoverflow at the time to pull the most popular answer based code comments. There were several Sublime plugins. So this wasn't so hard to imagine.

'You may not need javascript' is a repo I'd like to see.

I do feel the move against jquery comes from people that surpass it, which seems a shame. They had to use it once. It's like burning the rope for the people behind. Many low level users don't care about 30kb to get the $ shorthand

I wasn't aware of this so thanks for sharing. I've been setting up a repo that utilises github actions to build exe/app files as noted in this guys blog... https://data-dive.com/multi-os-deployment-in-cloud-us

I guess if he wrote tests first it would have said. no method called x in util. TDD helps take a lot of thinking out of problems.

by byteface 5y ago
He seems to know the codebase and works out the problem for about 30 mins sometimes fastfowarded. Then at about 28 mins copilot smashes the answer instantly when he types a method name at the bottom of a utils file. he doesn't like it

copilot is a game changer. It can and will be automated and get smarter as we use it. If it was able to generate unit tests for the functions it was writing for example to come up with solutions. I don't doubt someone is adding this fe

i think thats the point the article is making? don't just use a tool or lib, but understand how generators work. that is more pythonic. am i right?

Man, I got some stories. I don't tend to write them down. Funny read.

Similar thing happened to me in early years of dev. I decided not to take the offer if I couldn't express myself. Nowadays I'd love to disagree with someone, especially on interview.

if you could cure disease just for the money I don't think anyone would hold it against you.

I found finally is useful for kicking off a job after returning a response within the same func without having to spawn another process or block. i.e. return a 200 response immediately in the catch then kick your slow running job off in the

Initially I let it be bad. I just wanted to see if it would make the methods i needed... self.params = ast.literal_eval(paramString) but it even re-wrote that part for me... self.params = urllib.parse.parse_qs(paramString)

So this is ironic. I've been meaning to port URLSearchParams to python for ages but been putting it off for about 8 months as I knew it would take several hours of thinking + testing etc. After reading this blog article. I just now use

I guess it's easier to remember $ than queryselectorall . I recently realised most of its methods are now natively supported. I think people who don't use js a lot may not realise that.

this is nuts. I just used it to complete 3 or 4 methods on an unfinished python class?!
