The whole place is infused with passive-aggression (by policy) and toxic double-standards. There are some truly bizarre things that I've encountered on Wikipedia (editing for almost 20 years now). Admins handwave blatant mistakes awa

It’s pretty impressive that it was able to actually decode those strings. In March, I used GPT 3.5 to write code for validating a type of string which used a checksum algorithm. It did the task well, and even wrote tests, but it failed when

Open a ChatGPT account. Set up a GitHub account if you don’t have one. Think of a common problem and see if a library exists in your favourite language to do what you want. If it doesn’t exist, explain your requirements to ChatGPT. You can

Writing code is not my job anymore. It’s not ideal, but my time is better used elsewhere. In any case, I could have written the code myself, but this literally took a couple of minutes and it read the documentation for me. And it wasn’t jus

I manage a number of development teams, and I don’t get to write much code anymore, but I was asked to urgently build an integration. The team lead I was going to assign the task to was offshore, and not yet online, so I put the URL for th

I was on a team developing a critical public safety system on a tight deadline a few years ago, and i had to translate some wireframes for the admin back-end into CSS. I did a passable job but it wasn’t a perfect match. I was asked to redo

GM vehicles are generally regarded as not particularly well engineered or reliable, based on what I've seen and heard from mechanics. Why aren't they investing in core engineering, instead of moonshots?

Similarly, many schools are giving children more autonomy in learning, instead of training them for lives of desk-bound obedience. This was one of the biggest disappointments of the pandemic. Teachers aren't ready to give up on their
