   I guess ymmv, but it found a bug for me instantly that I was trying to find all of last night.

   Oh look we have a pedant. Your point doesn’t even help them though, advice was being charitable.

   And you’re aware of all the reasons why that hardware wouldn’t handle modern workflows, right? Show me an amiga that will play 4K video let alone render it.

   It’s extremely successful, not sure what it explains other than your biases

   There’s nothing wrong with that, except it lets ai skeptics feel superior

   That’s… genius. This might get me using anki again, I gave up because of the friction of card creation. Thank you for this!

   “Powerful enough for productivity tasks” is very variable depending on what you need to be productive in. Office sure. 3D modelling? CAD? Video editing? Ehhhhh not so sure.

   Or at least they should. I’ve worked many places where thousands of dollars in engineering hours were wasted on something after they refused to use a service for a fraction of the cost. Some companies understand this but others don’t.

    Depends again on the type of work, and it absolutely has something to do with quality. You’re caring about not breaking existing functionality, you’re refactoring, you’re moving forward with confidence in your code. That’s absolutely a qual

    This thread is the most pathetic internet argument I’ve read in quite a while. Look at yourselves, both of you.

    I’m not going to take bitter advice from someone who either hasn’t used them in a long time, or is terribly bad at using them. Especially as it seems like you hate them so much. I don’t particularly like them or dislike them, they’re just t

    Reading this article seems outdated and therefore quaint in some areas now, the “we’ve all felt that moment of staring at a small bit of simple code that can’t possibly be failing and yet it does” - I so rarely experience this anymore as I’

    Not who you asked but I think it comes down to risk/reward. The consequences of some user finding a big in most websites is low, compared to the risk of an astronaut finding a bug the hard way whilst attempting re-entry. There is genui

    Ok, the web portal/learning management site for the university I work at. I’m part of a small team of 5 devs but not a single one of us has developed without the use of AI tooling in two years. I’d say it’s rarer to find a dev who does

    “Writing is the thinking” is a controversial and open to interpretation take, so everyone’s gonna argue about it. You muddied the water with that one.

    Sounds like you’ve got multiple ways to write off any example you’re given charged up and at the ready.

    Only because they refuse to unionise. If we all quit jobs or collectively bargained where we weren’t treated like human beings, they’d be forced to treat us like human beings.

    That’s ok, if my work cared enough about whether I was online or at my desk at any specific moment they’d have complained already. I have teams quit completely half the time. I get my work done, my performance reviews are good, I turn up to

    Well said. People like to conveniently ignore the realities and real reasons people do things when trying to push an ideology.
