My personal opinion is a little more blunt than that. In my world C# developers are typically people who are attaching wall anchors with the hammer function on their power drill because they can’t be bothered to pick up an actual hammer. It

I’m an external examiner for CS students in Denmark. One of the places I do this is some form of “gaming CS” education. Which tends to produce some of the poorest students, but it does give me some insight into what they build. In 8 years I

Why would you say that? It’s an archaic framework which sticks around because it’s “good enough” for anything with a complexity low enough to be handled by its “magic”. As soon as you need something to scale or handle real complexity where

I’ve been in programming for two decades and one of the things I enjoy about it is that things change. I did my stint in both architecture and management because I thought what you were supposed to do, but I went back to programming because

They are also sort of a requirement in a lot of places. I need several apps. A drivers license app. A social security ID app. A digital identity verification app. A couple of digital healthcare apps since a lot of functionality has been spl

We have recently had a few “navy scandals” here in Denmark because our navy has been ridiculously underfunded. They’ve done stuff like lending the cannons capable of fire to the ships that might need them and then pretended the others had w

I think if sort of depends on the work you do. If you’re working on a single language and have been for a while then I imagine that much of the value LLMs might give you already live in your existing automation workflows. I personally like

I’m also sort of curious as to how much of a market research they’ve done if they’re trying to compete with Azure and AWS. Even before the recent LLM rush took off, AI was a thing. In the city of Copenhagen there was a project to digitalise

LinkedIn is already on this. The reason they had their little “skills tests” is because what they used to sell was the collection of “skills” listed on your profile. I say skills because I’m not sure what the English word for knowing C# and

Does it really matter if you’re being cold called by an AI or some sales person following the same few procedures they always do? I’d prefer sales people keep their jobs. Having had the misfortune of being seated next to the telemarketing t

I suspect it’s about marketing. I’m not sure it would be so easy to sell these tools to enterprise organisations if you outlined that they are basically just very good at being lucky. With the abstraction of hallucinations you sort of put i

I’m guess Google took it serious enough after all. They recently made an agreement with the 98 municipalities of Denmark which will allow our schools to continue using Chromebooks after the summer. I’ll have to adopt my comments in the futu

That’s sort of what I said though. You use C# because you used to use it. It’s like that for a lot of languages. I think it’s largely why Java is still around, and the wait paid off considering Java has overtaken C# on many aspects. but if

It’s probably also in preparation for EU legislation on the area. Microsoft is a major player in the EU public sector and for good reason. They are one of the best IT-business partners you can have as an enterprise organisation on every asp

I think that was sort of their point argument. You could say the same thing about Python too. The insinuation that you can’t be serious with those languages is silly though. I mean, Instagram runs on Python and a lot of really awesome appli

I’m not sure I agree with C# being the only first class citizen in Azure. A lot of the Azure stuff like the whole automation is done with Powershell (or Python, but what Microsoft ops people does that?). On the development side of things Mi

Best at what exactly? I can’t think of a single thing you would pick C# for instead of Java/Go, C/C++/Rust/Zig, Python or JavaScript/Typescript. Not because C# is a bad language but because it’s not particularly goo

I think you’re a little naive if you don’t think this will become handy tools for management. We view its potential as two-fold from a strictly non-employee-friendly side. The monitoring abilities will be better than what is currently avail

It’s a little off topic, but it’s probably a good thing that it’s not very accessible while it would be lithium. When they burn they are almost impossible to put out. Which isn’t too much of an issue with your phone or other small appliance

You wish! In my experience they just load all the cloud work on to developers. Like, I’m setting up virtual networks, private endpoints, firewalls and what not, because if I don’t there won’t be horrible (I basically knew nothing about netw
