Hi Boris! Wanted to let you know that I find those ads with you saying "now when you code, you use an agent" obnoxious because of that incorrect statement. I have no interest in slop coding. I find it way more ergonomic and effect

Hmmmm... even though I'm a cheerleader for it, I wouldn't recommend starting with FreeCAD. Learn on something more feature-complete and with a less idiosyncratic UI, like Onshape. I learned Solidworks at work and without that foun

Hard agree. Before LLMs, if there was some bit of code needed across the industry, somebody would put the effort into writing a library and we'd all benefit. Now, instead of standardizing and working together we get a million slightly

I just got a new job, hired as level 5 with official title Software Engineer (Mid-career) although my boss tells me I'm Chief Engineer. All the level 2 people on my team seem to be Senior Engineer or Lead Engineer.

I skimmed this. I use web components a lot. Unless I'm mistaken, they don't provide reactivity; you have to write that yourself. Reactivity was the feature that launched modern js frameworks so I think the article really overstate

For the millionth time, would it kill ya to spell out the abbreviation the first time you use it? My googling suggests we're talking about https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Objectives_and_key_results , but my googling

Oh, it's a mostly nonsense (IMO) document that a design contractor did for a new Pepsi logo. I don't really know much about it but it gets posted on HN frequently when someone makes fun of designers. I dunno if it leaked or what,

How would / does Moltbot try to prevent humans from posting? Is there an "I AM a bot" captcha system?

Ok I swear I had a printer that would do some kind of internal cleaning noise thing every time I plugged something else in to a 120v outlet anywhere in the same apartment. I never really tried to figure it out.
