You would think so, right? It often turns political and into a CYA game, meanwhile team morale continues to plummet as non-performers are tolerated and drag down everyone else.

I’ve worked with several of these types over the years. Complaints to management yielded little. One guy did get put on a PIP but he had already found another job and left pretty quick. The problem is these individuals create additional wor

I have one that emails me every 3 months to change my password. Very annoying.

AI may prevent lost jobs from coming back, even if it didn't cause the loss. Companies will be able to do more with less.

Yes, I just love all those cookie banners. Thanks!

Yes, they'll just outsource it. Plus, it could be argued that localhost tracking is not actually illegal in the jurisdiction where it was developed (debatable, I know.)

I know, but Apple offers trade-in credit anyway when you "sell" your old laptop back to them. Offering an additional credit as good will to recent Intel owners would do nothing but help their reputation and get old systems off the

We're getting constantly interrupted with Slack messages, Zoom meetings, emails, Slack messages about checking said emails, etc. At least an LLM isn't constantly pinging you for updates (yet?) - you can get back to it whenever.

Do you tell it to reread the file? Seems like the updates aren't in the context.

Direct connections are a good thing and how the Internet is supposed to work. NAT is the only reason IPv4 has lasted this long.

If that's the case, Apple could easily offer a fantastic trade-in deal on existing Intel machines (say, bought in the last 5 years), to get people moved to Apple Silicon. Do you think they can't afford it? I feel bad for the perso

Interesting. I always wait for it to finish with my workflow.

Have you tried recently? This hasn't been my experience. I modify the code it's written, then ask it to reread the file. It generally responds "I see you changed file and [something.]" Or when it makes a change, I tell i

I've been experimenting with LLM coding for the past few months on some personal projects. I find it makes coding those projects more enjoyable since it eliminates much of the tedium that was causing me to delay the project in the firs

I understand your skepticism. I think, in 20 years, when we look back, we'll see this time was the beginning of a fundamental paradigm shift in software development. This will be similar in magnitude to the move from desktop to web dev

Same. After doing this for decades, so much programming work is tedious. Maybe 5% to 20% of the work is interesting. If I can get a good chunk of that other 80%+ built out quickly with a reasonable level of quality, then we're good.

What was bad about it? Everything he wrote all sounded very pragmatic to me.

Have you tried any of the tools, like Cursor or Zed? They increase productivity if you use them correctly. If you give them quality inputs like well written, spec-like prompts, instruct them to work in phases, provide feedback on testing

Yes, it was thin, but 1995 - 96 was when "Internet" went mainstream. Depending on your area, you could have several dialup ISP options. Major metros like Boston had dozens. I remember hearing ISP ads on the radio! 1995 was when Wi

Getting "dunked" only means it's controversial, not necessarily wrong. Developers who don't embrace AI tools are going to get left behind.

I have found LLMs (mainly using Claude) are, indeed, excellent at spitting out Go boilerplate.

Where are you located? The Internet boom in the US happened in the mid-90's. My first part-time ISP job was in 1994.

As much as people love to hate it, PHP is also really good here. Each request is isolated.

You might have other information they don't have. Example: private transactions that resulted in a capital loss and would offset that gain.

hah. I looked at your comments and saw you were a google VP! I've migrated some small systems from AWS to GCP for various POCs and prototypes, mostly Lambda and ECS to Cloud Run, and find GCP provides a better developer experience over

by icedchai 1y ago
It's not. Cloud Run can be longer running: you can have batch and services. Lambda is closer to Cloud Functions.

Cloud Run is a great service. I find it much easier to work with than AWS's equivalent (ECS/Fargate.)
