I don't think so. Let's do a silly experiment: antirez, could you ditch Gemini 2.5 PRO and Claude Opus 4, and instead use llama? Like never again go back to Gemini/Claude. I don't think he can (I don't think he woul

Ah, well that's nice. But every single post I read don't mention them? So, I assume they are not popular for some reason. Again, my main point here is: the normalization of using private LLMs. I don't see anyone talking about

I see a big difference: I do use Jetbrains IDEs (they are nice), but I can switch to vim (or vscode) any time if I need to (e.g., let's say Jetbrains increase their price to a point that doesn't make sense, or perhaps they introdu

Of course they are. I wouldn't expect otherwise :) But the price we're paying (and I don't mean money) is very high, imho. We all talk about how good engineers write code that depends on high-level abstractions instead of low

I like it. Why Flame, though? It’s built using node, react, redux… meaning you are bringing dozens (if not hundreds) of third party dependencies to your secure kingdom. I don’t think it’s worth it for the start page (could easily be a singl

Is this for real? I don’t know why anyone would deal with such amount of incidental complexity (django orm) when one can just use plain sql.

If you remove all the tiny details that you detest because you think you should better spend your time on the “important stuff”, be careful; you may wake up one day and not care enough about anything because you have been discarding stuff b

I don’t know.If I have a “big” phone (anything bigger than the iphone mini, at least for me), I’ll leave it at home most of the time. But if it’s small, I’ll take it with me everywhere. So I can be bombarded with crap more time if I use a

You lack some imagination. One could verify their identity against a government service once every let’s say 5 years. You get a public link/code that you can share with employers (or banks or real state agencies or…) so that they can u

If you sell your identity, you are accountable. That works in real life too; So there’s less incentive in doing it.

by dakiol 1y ago
If only governments could provide a very simple “check identity” service online. I think this should be a basic service nowadays.

The main reason I’m slowly using less and less AI is price. I’m relying on the free tiers but I know that’s not gonna last forever. I don’t want to pay for top notch AI, just like I don’t pay for top notch kernels (i.e., linux), top notch v

On call sucks because: You need to stay at home or very close 24h. You cannot go for a run, or to the cinema, or to have a dinner if you are on call (please don’t tell me: “just take your laptop with you”. How on earth would I run with a la

I don’t see in which context coding without aid is helpful: - at work, nobody cares. They only want shipped features. - at home, I only care about having fun (and that doesn’t necessarily mean to not use tools like ides, llms, autocomplete,

If only apple could work on a modern ipod replacement. I used to have an ipod shuffle (this tiny thing with a clip), and I was using it every day for sports. How do people listen to music when doing sports? Iphones suck in this regard (you

I pay for 2 streaming services. They include annoying ads and the only way to avoid ads is, yeah to just pay more. No sense at all.

In the software engineering industry, what I have seen is people not afraid of being fired due to a mistake, but to be afraid of the cost of their mistake in their next performance review. Make two mistakes (not necessarily in a row) and yo

But that doesn’t work. One could ask why server can handle only one request? Why can’t we upgrade (vertically or horizontally) the server? Why the logic needs to live in the client? And a large etc. It’s not the ability to communicate effec

Here’s an idea for fair interviews: Interviewer and candidate meet at time X for 1h session of “live coding”. A saas throws at them both one problem at random. Let the game begin. The company can decide if they want interviewer and candidat

by dakiol 1y ago
I don’t know anything about the author, so just speculating here: assuming that the interview lasts 1h, it’s not realistic (nor fair) to judge the candidate’s answer if the interviewer has spent more than 1h to think about the problem and p

The VPs, heads of, and C levels of most of the companies I have worked for were also pretending to be working. They knew the company wasn’t profitable, they gave a couple of advices here and there, and then left the company. Big pay checks.

by dakiol 1y ago
I think you just described most of the C level executives in the tech industry. They leave companies behind destroyed, with a big pay check. But it’s unethical if simple engineers do it. Sure.

LLMs amplify the problem, so they are not that irrelevant.

How do you know the code is solid? If your bar is “if it runs, then it is good”, then alright, otherwise you (or someone else) need to review that code. So, Yeah llms are nice but i don’t think we can just go and deploy whatever they throw

by dakiol 1y ago
I think it depends. LLMs can link references of where they took the content they throw at you. You can go and read such references. I like what LLMs provide, and at the same time I don't wanna blindly follow them, so I always allocate

In my experience Microsoft Copilot (free version in Deep Think mode) is way better than ChatGPT (free version) in most of things I throw at them (improving text, generating code, etc).
