I have been seeing different people reporting different results with different tasks. Watched a live stream that compared GPT-5, Gemini Pro 2.5, Claude 4 Sonnet, and GLM 4.5, and GPT-5 appeared to not follow instructions as well as the othe

I did read that and it doesn't change what I said about your comment on HN, I was calling out the fact that you are making a very bold statement without having done careful analysis. You know you have a significant audience, so don&#x2

Why is this impossible? If the LLM has effectively seen all the code that could lead to that trace, all it has to do is to pick the bits out that has the highest chance to map to it right? Is it a new marketing strategy to start by saying y

That's a fundamentally biased attitude though. It's not very different from saying: "oh, that guy's got tattoos, I'm not going to engage because he's probably a gangster." Unless someone has proven to you

That's a great article and a lot of the comments seem to resonate with the article. But somehow this is disappearing from the front page faster than anything else, it's hard not to think that "this is bad for business, so it

Tangentially related, I feel that SWEs who claim that they are more productive with AI haven't actually demonstrated with real examples of how they are actually more productive. Nobody I follow (including some prominent bloggers and Yo

I don't want to comment on this without giving the source a fair go, but between knee-jerk reaction to whether or not it's time-wasting pedantry and reading directly off slides without providing any real value, I find it hard to e

By "a lot of people with ADHD" do you include people who are also self-diagnosed? I ask because my experience is similar to yours (I also have ADHD). Anecdotal so take it with a grain of salt: I work in software engineering, know

It's truly frightening for people who don't understand that well to be given the opportunity to mange people. As yobbo said it much better than me, "the part that is narcissistic is believing your empathy is uniquely taking a

Anecdotal: I agree because everywhere I have worked were backend-senior heavy -- they think frontend is easy and not worth touching, and they are the ones who makes decisions on "the next shiny things" for backend things. In my la

I'm not trying to make light of your experience, and I do appreciate that you care about people you have to look after deeply. However, I also don't think what you described is professional with respect to being a manager. A manag

I like the article because it's very similar to the workflow that I developed while working on my first project after quitting my last job. One thing that I would add to "Be Explicit About Your Goal" is that it should be abou

I don't agree that you are downvoted without being offered an explanation, that's just a gross misuse of the privilege to downvote that seems to be more and more frequent on here. :shrug: I also don't agree that donations are

Sometimes one word is enough to explain something, I had no problems understanding that, and the rest of the comments indicate that too, so it was probably not a "shallow expression" like you claim it to be. I agree that "you

There are companies whose product is high-quality mock interviews. I wouldn't be surprised by that number of interviews in just a year and it can easily be more than one candidate per day. Edit: there are also recruitment agencies with

Hey, I'm really sorry that you feel this way. I happen to know a lot of people who were/are in similar situations as the one you described, many of whom I have worked with for at least a few years, some are very young and some are

I agree with you that anyone who don't get the appreciation they deserve should leave and make it painful for management. But I think whether or not you should keep talking is highly situational. If you have a manager/boss who gen
