Economics of producing goods(software code) would dictate that the world would settle to a new price per net new "unit" of code and the production pipeline(some wierd unrecognizable LLM/Human combination) to go with it. The p

What I don't understand is why not have designated actors/ombudsman like notaries in the society that can verify your age/id without anyone knowing what it's for. One can easily implement a nationwide system like this. Y

One thing with stepper motor h bridges is that you need to account for back current that might at the least cause spikes leading to misfires or worst frying your microcontroller. The ideal way to protect is is using opto electric transistor

I think you can still make the distinction of vibe coded vs using LLM for specific things(like review your code and write tests). Vibe coding signifies a lack of control over one's own code and generally only if it's to generate i

Wait a minute, there is a payment surface you can build in iOS(e.g. iirc a stripe demo video from the epic ruling last year), where one can pay outside the apple in-app payment method. The surface could specifically get you to your own web

One little know crazier example of how things linger around for decades is how the H1B program actually allowed for renewals of visa stamps within the US. After 9/11 the only reason people were made to go to another country to do it is

If you work in a company where some kind of testing is optional to get your PR merged, run in the opposite direction. Because testing showed you your engineer _thought_ things through. Its communicating what the intended use and many times
