I don’t think Google is evil. I also don’t think they were ever “good”. I think they are mostly just caught in a world where they have become the worlds largest advertising company but their primary platform is turning out to be less valuab

Ah ok. Yeah, nobody does that.

I worked a decade in public sector digitalisation in Denmark, where for some reason they still use a lot of SOAP and thus XML. I’m not so against XML in theory, but I hate it in practice. You’d have these completely over engineered solution

I’m not a fan of nuclear power. I do work in an investment bank that’s currently on the top 10 of organisations for building the most solar plants in Europe, so there is that disclaimer. That’s not why I’m against nuclear power though, I’m

For businesses the two are rarely mutually exclusive depending. It’s obviously a little different for your personal life, because you’re going to have to spend resources to “self-host” but for a business those resources aren’t going to be t

Very interesting. I’ll most certainly favorite this and keep an eye on it. I think that sort of thing will be the future of LLMs for many of us.

I’m not sure the OpenAI model is EU regulation compliant. It’s not just GDPR these days, the laws are ramping up to the point where we might not even be able to use Azure (as Microsoft unlike Amazon still can’t guarantee that only EU citize

I have these ambivalent feelings toward it. I worked in public sector digitalisation for a decade during the “transition” where alcohol went from being normalised to banned in the work place. This was obviously a good thing for soooo many r

You can do a lot of clever book storage, but it tends to be quite a lot of work to do so. Because you’re going to have to build things yourself to make it custom fit. This is a process which involves quite a lot of creativity and spatial aw

This is very interesting to me. We spent a significant time “labelling” data when I was in the public sector digitalisation. Basically what was done, was to do the LLM part manually and then have engines like this on top of it. Having used

Isn’t that how you end up with Python 2 and 3 though?

I think it’s very dependent on how you use words like “rewrite” or “refactor”. The point the author makes about the two page function, and all the bug-fixes (lessons learned) makes sense only if you “rewrite” from scratch without looking at

I think that it might be because the difference is mostly in how we work together. With GQL your frontend and backend engineers are always happy, with Rest they are always at each others throats to deliver. This is because GQL gives your te

Have you tried the alternatives? We went with Odata, and it's hell. It's fine on the client side, but it's terrible to work with on the server-side. We went down the C# path because everyone else is either using RPC or GraphQ

I think everyone in our industry should make a habit of leaving jobs that don’t make them happy. I know this is very privileged, and I’m really sorry for anyone whom it doesn’t apply to, but if you’re fortunate enough to find yourself in a

The way ADHD medicine works in Denmark, I need to get my blood pressure measured at my doctors office every 3 months, and a while back when it was around the limit of being too high, they wanted me to do it at home for a period. So I asked

I guess it does depend on the size of your commits. Ours being relatively small (one work item) we still have the history, while devs getting the freedom to not have to make every commit meaningful.

I support it, but I also wonder why other teams seem to spend so much time on git than we do. Our setup is fairly basic, you have a main branch, you can only push things too it by squash merge pull request that are linked to a work item, an

I think there may be a difference between the support you get in countries with an Apple presence and in countries without it. In Denmark where I live we have 3rd party support, and it’s very, very, terrible from my anecdotal experience. Ev

In my region of Denmark I think there has been one Go job offer in the past 5 years on linkedin, and it was for some Google PHD job mainly working with C++ where it was listed among like 20 other programming languages. I think these things

Is Reddit a village? I’m part on some of the “smaller” (maybe less large?) communities like the Blood Bowl subreddit, but it’s still mostly just a bunch of strangers talking with each other for a while. It’s frankly similar to this place is

I was on reddit before they tried updating their designs, the only reason I'm still there is because they still have the old.reddit.com frontend available. I even use it on mobile where it's not exactly practical. It's not be
