It’s so dumb. There is no way to verify the numbers, and yet, this stupidity weaseled its way into the LinkedIn cinematic universe of corporate bullshit. The same point but without the “X by Y%” hits the same for me— besides I know what qu

Mention of Perl will always reminds me of that time I put Perl in a PR at a Ruby shop. It was a beautiful, portable little piece of code that they made me take outside and shoot in the back of the head. Fair enough, but I will never get ove

Because my employer tells me it’s fine so long as we’re using it with AWS Bedrock. Do I believe that Amazon then wouldn’t be siphoning all this as model training data? It’s a fun conspiracy…

Yeah me too, keeping the code modular being a huge part of it. In the same vein is actually finishing feature flags and removing the old code, killing off truly dead code, tests, documentation… basically eliminate as much noise as you can,

Been in a weird position where I had to learn Java real fast, then learn Kotlin real fast to replace it. I find Java to be so incredibly unproductive compared to Kotlin, for all the reasons a sibling comment listed. I mean come on, default

I’m very effective with JetBrains IDEs, VSCode is not in the same league. I’m very effective with a terminal. Claude Code is just enough of a bridge between models and my IDE to enhance my workflow without ruining my IDE. That’s it. I don’t

Well thats great, guess I have carried that baggage with me as misinformation for years now.

I’ll just kill the comment. It said Symbol isn’t garbage collected. It has been since 2.2 and I wasn’t aware. Sorry. Good reminder that anyone can go on the internet, just say stuff, and be wrong.

Oh you’re assuming I just go through the motions. I do care about the craft of my work. Eh okay.

I ask myself a lot of things, but they all require money to do. This is just the society we made, you do some shit that doesn’t matter for a few decades, get some money, then go do whatever you want. I’m fine with it. Would I rather not do

Ah yeah Í keep seeing it come up, I will take a look! This weekend was gonna toy with C++ to rebuild what I got done with MonoGame, but a next mini experiment can perhaps be Odin!

Agree, the recency sort sort ends up normalizing history over time anyway. Use fzf with your history to see more than one match a time anyway, and you can at least glance through a few of the iterative commands you went through if your hist

Hah I just recently was doing some soul searching for a game dev environment to get started with. I did a wee bit of 2D game dev in college 15 years ago, and wanted to scratch the same itch. At this point, I demand a good IDE experience: as

I’d love to skip to the end of the AI capitalism any% speedrun. We will emerge from the tunnel, still with LLMs, but they will be tastefully integrated as sub-components of greater systems. The displaced software engineers will be hired bac

But that’s exactly what I’m saying, a big selling point WAS reinventing things. There would be a stdlib “http” package for all HTTP client needs, an “orm” package, and so on. This is how I remember Deno being sold many years ago, and I thou

One of the original selling points of Deno seemed to be that it didn’t use NPM. It would build its own broadly useful and good standard library. The NPM compatibility madness really does kill it for me. Probably something to do with taking

FWIW sounds like a great use case for some rules files. I’ve only worked with Cursor and Roo but they both support it. This of course only works for the “stop recommending X” part of your problem, but maybe something like the project here h

I use browser bookmarks organized into folders like /dev/blog /dev/tools etc. so that I can browse by category later when I think “what was that tool again?” A flat list of bookmarks drives me insane, all I want to do is

The point isn’t about saving yourself from the layoff, it’s about having a network to help you find a new job, because yeah, the layoffs are disconnected, heartless, and clumsy. If you’re always building at least a couple relationships, som
