Maybe you're right today, but I'm making an argument against the AI "endgame", not its current iteration.

Solution: update to Sequoia 15.6 (which comes with Safari 18.6) and it works.

Weird, it's installed but it won't let me enable it in Safari. The "enable" checkbox is inactive. Safari 18.5 on MacOS Sequoia 15.5. Restarting the browser, and reinstalling the extension has no effect.

My entire (decades) career I worked primarily in small start up teams, and even when people didn't see eye to eye, they always maintained these kinds of basic practices. I think a lot of disagreement on these expectations is rooted in

I can think of reasons for this (e.g. storing date/time as it was originally represented 100, 1000 years ago in a historical context vs storing live time for present-day time calculations vs storing non-timezone time for, say, operatin

Good old cucumber. I remember a discussion over coffee with someone who swore by it back in the day (~2010). They forced customers to sit down and write these things together side by side. Kind of cringe in retrospect. Wonder what happened

This can apply to anything. Why care about how well a shovel is built if all you care about is a hole in the ground. Why care about the quality of the hole in the ground if all you need is laying foundation that can hold a house… Why care a

It's not about solving puzzles for us, craft-focused developers. It's about caring about the clarity of our writing, for the same reason a writer wouldn't want an AI agent writing their book.

Sounds very interesting, and at first I thought maybe you're an outlier, but the more I read people mention "solving puzzles", the more I notice a more fundamental difference in enjoying programming. For me it's not solv

I guess there are some who would've enjoyed coding, but circumstances pulled them away from it. The word "intimacy" comes to mind. If you lose intimate relationship with code writing (or never gain one), you will be more okay

You're probably right, but this dividing line only became prominent now that AI coding agents polarized the community across it. This in itself is interesting to me.

I love experiences folks shared in response to this. Makes me realize that there are many significant factors that influence how people see programming. My own experience for most years has been a combination of the joy of clear/convin

Couple of questions: the most senior people in your personal network — are they hands-on _lately_? And are they ~>25y experience? If it's a no to either, I took those into account.

We are in a similar length of experience, but weirdly as I got older, it's the opposite for me: I got more particular about clarity, readability, especially in the context of handling edge cases. The 10% of situations that require 90%

I was going to include "people who use verbose programming languages/environments" :), but perhaps it's more of a likelihood scale across all groups. The more verbose the language, the more drawn to AI you will be.

That's what I mean by product-building vs programming (3rd group).

I haven't seen many folks who actually hands-on programmed this long willingly and grown to hate it. Instead one is usually trying to become something else (CTO, executive, etc) but due to financial difficulties, struggle to make conne

I've been noticing the pattern among the kind of people who like/dislike AI/agentic coding: 1) people who haven't programmed in a while for whatever reason (became executives, took a break from the industry, etc) 2) peop

100% agree, esp. on the soundtrack. I thought I was going crazy when in Witcher 3's Skellige island it started playing the soundtrack from HOMM4. (See Track 14 here: https://youtu.be/F9sG0r_9f4M?t=4400 ).

Gotta give credit for wonderfully clear writing. You can tell a person understands what they're saying by how well they express it. Reads smooth, and makes me see the author's mental model. As far as substance: I love ruby librari

I don't honestly know why most people do code reviews, because it's often presented as some kind of "quick sanity check" or "plz approve". Here's why we do code reviews where I get to lead the practice: 1.

Wasn't Rails the first major OSS to move to Github when Github first appeared? IIRC it's the other way around: everyone started using MIT because Rails did. Edit: Here's the initial commit in 2004, with MIT License already in

I am aware of this ruling, and disagree with it. My comment was making a broader point: There's a mistaken notion that a lawyer can advise you to do something that they think courts might find illegal later, "and that's how w

I think this often gets confused. Voting a president in doesn't give them a blank mandate to do whatever they want, such as break the law. And knowingly doing things that might not get approved by courts, but veiling it in a "nove

In 2010 I built a small HTPC[1] in an Antec ISK300-150[2]. Started out with 500GB HDD + 8GB RAM, then replaced with 2TB SSD, then added another 4TB SSD and another 8GB of RAM recently. Started out TV-connected, but for years now it's b
