True. But they are not the people companies want to get rid of, they never had any integrity to begin with.

The entertainment value of this future is not to be underestimated :)

Sorry, that doesn't compute. If you have a 25k/year software dev, and you pair it up with AI, now you have two 25k/year software devs at best. It's sort of capable of producing the same crap as the least experienced, lea

AIs sort of have to be to survive, since they have no clue about anything yet always speak in a confident tone.

Or will it be the end of society as we know it, since everyone will keep pretending it works until everything collapses.

A lot of the time? What kind of code are you writing, if I may ask; and how long have you been doing it? I sometimes ask whatever AI open ended questions on subjects I know very little about, and sometimes I find some kind of starting point

Lol, yeah that pretty much sums up my experience with modern apps.

Coding is not religion for me, I have no patience for fundamentalism. I will write as many tests as I need to feel confident, which depends on context. And integration tests give me a lot more confidence than mocked unit tests.

by codr7 2y ago
I rarely write isolated unit tests. Most of the systems I build use a database on which all logic depends, and often a network connection. I've worked on systems where these aspects were mocked, and they eventually grind to a halt beca

And this has what to to with variants?

Haven't we seen enough by now? The problem is very easy to solve; quit buying their products, refuse to deal with them in any way, tell them why, inform others; lather, rinse repeat. We tend to underestimate our power, without us they&

We could just as well be heading straight into the next ice age, it's been a while, maybe this is how they begin. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLkiQ0qIm-M

I don't even think Bjarne could claim with a straight face that hacking variants into the standard library was a good idea :)

Of course you do, that's why school isn't just the teacher giving you the answers, you have to work for it.

Borland had a bad habit of launching MVPs and moving on to the next shiny thing. Like, leading everyone down the BDE rabbit hole and leaving them there; QuickReport, the list goes on and on. From here it looks like that tradition is still g

Or focused on improving Swing as opposed to inventing yet another half baked idea to be abandoned, it wasn't a bad start. I couldn't even get JavaFX to run, too weird.

No doubt, regardless of whether it fails epically or not.

More importantly, we allowed it to happen.

It's basically the same thing in western countries these days.

Still doesn't justify the reaction, nothing does.

So? They're not anymore, are they? And plenty of developers don't.

by codr7 2y ago
Epic surprise :) I'm all for stripping these morons of everything they've stolen and dropping them naked in the shark pool/general population. Don't think that's going to happen much either.

They all do, desperately trying to avoid whatever consequences that kind of life is bound to have.

You still can't see it, can you? Africa is where all the resources are, we just have to get rid of all the pesky people standing in the way.

Or it will crash and burn once everyone accepts its limitations, the jury is still out.

Where is the profit?

More resilient than Elon, Zucker & co for sure; more human to begin with.

by codr7 2y ago
Software developers are basically the only thing standing between the morons and profit at any cost to society, because some of us don't feel like playing that game and they couldn't do it without us if their life depended on it.

Starting social media shame wars over minor disagreements isn't exactly what I would call hacker spirit, but whatever.
