There are different grades of "fun". You can do silly things at work, name your servers bob and lola, while still serve the functionality and needs of your customers. But hiring an artist to draw the server as ninjas because &quot

The wrong in this, is the extent they went to with this. I mean, name your servers whatever you want, but hiring an artist to draw the servers personalities and then writing a blog post about this? Like common, that's something a child

This is so cringe. I feel like software engineers are just overgrown toddlers stuck in kindergarten: "We named our servers with boy and girls names and hired an artist to draw their personalities as ninjas!!@!111". I mean, whats w

I keep hearing my this very much, so I have a question: what fun parts are there left for me? It feels like this message of “offloading mundane tasks so you will have more time to do fun parts” is being pushed so hard, but in reality the op

You made my evening a bit better by your message, kind stranger. It is lonely in there, but I suspect you know, just like me, that we can't chose a different path.

I bet you had to solve math equations and prove math stuff to get your degree, am I right? Now imagine I tell you that you could have just prompted LLMs with “please solve the is and make no mistakes”, would you think you’d be able to get y

I remember a time when we were told not to run obscure software from questionable websites on our computers. And yet, people are suddenly fully vibing with an uncontrollable character generating machine with who-knows-what-behind-the-scene

Very egocentric piece. Almost reads as “I’m so cool, I did so many cool things, and most things other people did is way worse than even the slop that my LLM prompting skills are capable to produce”. Also “ You have to understand how things

Please tell me how ads help science research or why should I care about space exploration or LLMs that threaten me and hundreds of thousands of other peoples jobs?

I really really like Astro, but I'm either getting old or it's something else. I just recently updated my website to Astro 6 and now... there's Astro 7. Maybe by the time I update, Astro 8 will be a few weeks in the future.

I prefer to maintain my code, tailored for my need, than maintaining a massive library that has support for every authentication method there is, while trying to be as generic as possible and fit every business.

by fnoef 3mo ago
Ah, here we go again. Glad I decided to roll my own auth rather then using some library. I had a feeling that eventually they will join Vercel.

I don’t, nor I want to. If I’m forced to train my replacement by using these tools, I might as well enjoy the time it takes the agent to do work by doing something I like and enjoy in the meantime.

When I was working in a small company (3-4 devs), we used to build stuff that clients needed. We built billing systems, JS widgets (back when widgets were a thing), analytics, and full on CRM. As long as it helped our customers. We ran all

"The fun part was never lifting weight. The fun was in being buffed with a 6-pack and picking up women. The fun is in bullying those who are weaker than me. I never liked going to the gym and lifting weights. What I actually love is th

You need to use full isolated VM with its own kernel. But then again, I've read somewhere that this malware is also trying to escape the VM isolation as well...

by fnoef 5mo ago
Yeah, I agree, but then you are at the mercy of whatever vulnerability is found in the current version(s). It just feels like a lose-lose situation no matter what you do.

I’m honestly at a point where I’m afraid to update any of my project’s dependencies, and I’m also afraid to run the locally without some locked down VM

The US is not winning anything. This is not a fucking war. The only thing that this “AI race” is winning is a speedrun to the destruction of any meaning humans had as well as the massive build of data center and absurd amount of water consu

You are absolutely right. I shouldn’t have paid that invoice from ScamInc. Would you like me to help you file for bankruptcy?

So Google will kill it in a year or two when the AI hype will be over, and the average consumer won’t care about AI showed into their face. But hey, at least they created more e-waste.

This is such an absurd take. For starters, if I'm a "house builder" by trade, then yeah, I am going to build the house myself. Otherwise, why should the client pay me, and not the guy I'm subcontracting? Secondly, there

Get a VPS and host it there. Costs less than a cup of coffee a month, with tens of TB of traffic. Nice article by the way!

Isn’t it a bit ironic that a (presumably statically generated) blog post about “programming sucks” is being chocked to death by HN?
