I’ve really been enjoying nix as my package manager on macos. It’s on a separate volume so feels even more isolated from clobbering my macos and has, in my uninformed opinion, better sandboxing and reproducible builds

I don’t care if my bare thighs were coated in the most potent prophylaxis known to man, I am not sitting on another man’s piss and or shit.

yeah I wouldn't be able to put food on the table if my employer didn't have exclusive license to the glue we use to stick together all that open source code we rely on. Which we now generate exclusively using AI, products of which

Excuse me for being dense but I'd love to know more, if you can share. So you offer a voice agent for checking appointments and orders and stuff, is that through your app or website or something? So you make a button in your app which

Exactly. Without Claude and GPT, we'd be limited to Grok. A lot of ink has been spilled telling us exactly how to use Sonnet, Opus, Sol or Luna in certain scenarios, Grok hasn't ever been recommended by our pointy haired friends e

>They get rewarded because they appear to move fast, eventually become management, and the whole thing gets worse as time goes on. We've got a winner. Devs respond to the incentives set by management, and the message I have received

>as they will spend most of their times on what to name variables and how to structure the packages and modules. Incredible strawman of dev behaviour, I can only assume you are a manager yourself. I assure you, that's not what we&#x

God I hope so. My workplace enforces Cursor use, and to see it lose GPT and Claude would absolutely make my day. Much has been invested in getting us to "use the right models", a list in which Grok does not feature.

Bugs are a choice by managers, not developers.

Bin chicken is local slang for these horrible birds ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_white_ibis ), and “go full x” is also a common utterance, but I’ve never heard them said together like that.

why not version control those things? if they're static, there's no changes so version controlling them has little cost. maybe existing tools aren't adequate for this conception of the world, but I don't think that'

Absolutely, have warned my juniors of this. Doesn't stop malicious compliance though, I can just prompt and burn tokens with source material from my assigned tickets for no reason perfectly fine. I look at my colleagues' screens a

because my manager will ping me and say "anon you aren't prompting enough" like they never heard of Goodhart's law before.

Having also worked in a public position like that, there are so many dumb things that go on that didn't need to but the idea of pretending a 1hr job would take 40 would be unconscionable. 1hr jobs could routinely take 10 because of pap

Maybe don't use CF if you don't want someone fucking with what you're serving. It's their entire raison detre.

You could just light the money on fire instead and get the same result. Contractors routinely screw the tax payer. I once had a job in one of these third parties where the entire operation was effectively defrauding the tax payer by claimin

Most of us aren't making software with fatal consequences. Most. I'd say the typical aviation job offers a few more chances for fatal consequences.

What do you use? both in terms of hardware and software. I love the idea of a linux phone but I'm very skeptical.

Do you have any smarthome stuff? Standing around waiting 30 seconds for your light to come on would be moronic. A complete regression over the electric switch invented in 1884. I'd rip everything out right then and there. Your home sho

What's really freakin cool about AI development is other people can check rules into the repo which change the shape of my tools :)

Nobody cares. Nobody with the power to do anything about itcares because they don't bare the costs. You can see this pre AI with how companies handle data breaches. They never cared about security outside of reducing financial liabil
