I gave up after the 3rd tweet in the thread. I can't understand why Twitter threads are a thing.

I started with Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach (by Norvig). I know it has nothing to do with the current trends of machine generated images and videos based on textual input... but I don't care. I don't really like mach

As with any other kind of automation, if AI takes over programming jobs, that will introduce a new kind of job in itself (I don't know which kind of job... maybe one in which programmers have to review/double check the code the AI

I don't think it's realistic (but I wish it were). An example from a Western European country of what retention should look like from my point of view: Senior software engineer (10 years of exp.) joins company X. Year salary: 80K

For teams where there are people on charge of: - installing Docker on the servers - keeping Docker up-to-date - keeping an private image registry (or renting one) - scanning regularly Docker images for vulnerabilities then Docker is fine. B

Depending on the configuration, sometimes you cannot just replace a Vagrant setup with Docker. In my experience Vagrant VMs are used to reproduce cloud environments locally. For instance if you want to run locally "an ubuntu server run

What? Maybe in 4 or 5 countries in the world. In the rest, 43K is high-pay for juniors.

Does the watch work without having an iphone around? I would love to buy an apple watch, but I don't have (nor want) an iphone.

What I hate about the last mbp M1 PRO is the keyboard. Don't get me wrong, it feels amazing when typing, but it just gets oily and used very quickly. I have an mbp 2015 still around and its keyboard looks better (not used, not oily) th

Being a CEO is a privileged position. You can do pretty much whatever you want (within reasonable limits) and it'll be ok.

You sure? I know that (for practical reasons?) my contract states that I have to work 40h/week as an employee. But in reality I do not spend such time working, I do work less. How much do I work? Whatever amount of time is needed to ac

Nah, it's not incompatible. I do as well want to work on my own projects on my own terms and I couldn't care less about my employers' product. At the same time I know how to play well as part of a team and get paid for it. It

That's just for juniors. Seniors are more around $60K-$70K (although, it's still a low number of US standards, yeah)

Indeed. I think they are trying to imitate VSCode UI... which in my opinion sucks big time.

That's what I wrote yes. I could also have achieved the same using the file system and plain files, or using a graph database. My point is/was: the document model seemed to us the model that fit the best for our problem: the `skil

You don't need an avatar for that. Just leave (phisically) your laptop while but stay connected (camera off).

Bento is good (but they do not have the newest Ubuntu vagrant images for ARM afaik, hence the need to either trust in other not-so-well-known users or bake your own). Can't say about Roboxes.

No, you won't have a better lifestyle as a janitor in Germany. But I agree with the sentiment, 90K is a top salary (judging by the numbers), but it's just not enough anymore in these days.

The "recession" (if any) already started. Not much has changed for us (devs).

Vagrant + vmware plugin + vmware fusion tech preview. All open source (and free). It does work on my M1 (e.g., I'm able to spin up 4 Ubuntu VMs on my M1 for playing around with Ansible and deployments. Each VM with its own static IP).
