So invest all your money in Coca-Cola and maybe beat inflation by one or two percent. Or you can gamble it all on a meme stock and maybe 100x your wealth. Institutional investors are doing both.

"Normies" don't actually think it's a good moral justification, they just understand that disobedience to power has consequences. A lot of typical and atypical people have fought and died side-by-side to fight tyrannical

Yes I think this is the correct take. "It shouldn't be this way!" But it is. As others have said in comments, ADHD actually may be an optimization in certain environments, but do those environments actually exist in 2024? Eve

I think this is unlikely but a local model could generate malicious code. You would have to run it manually though.

Always replace pronouns like "You" and "Your" in headlines with "I" and "my". Saves a lot of time.

"Beyond a reasonable doubt" is a good basis for a justice system, but I'm under zero obligation to operate that way. If you're arrested for assaulting your girlfriend, it's smart to err on the side of caution and no

You can still proof it. Op is just saying they don't need spellcheck (perhaps because they do have an editor).

They don't vote because people criticize them for not voting?

The propaganda has worked perfectly.

Voting isn't hard and costs nothing People who don't vote have no right to complain about the government. Arguments like yours are used by lazy people to justify non-participation. You aren't helping them by making excuses fo

> 5. Therefore all new development should be microservices written from scratch and interacting via cleanly defined APIs. That's what the software industry has been trying and failing at for more than a decade.

It was better simply because normies weren't on the internet yet. Like so many things, the more popular it becomes, the worse it gets.

I dunno they're using copy-paste as if it's a bad thing. There's no virtue in writing something character by character. If anything these languages and systems are better for the Makefile effect. That you can't really do

I do this all the time. Actually, I tell it that I am a senior engineer. A lot of people tinkering with AI think it's more complex than it is. If you ask it ELI5 it will do that. Often I will say "I already know all that, I&#x27

ugh thanks. I didn't see that when I pasted. I hate how apps will not give you clean share links.

Highly recommend Nico Carver (Nebula Photos) especially if you're interested in DIY or the more creative/artistic aspects. https://youtube.com/@nebulaphotos?si=_Uf6x7nQ_HwNOlZ_ Another great one is Cuiv The Lazy G

The prejudice is indeed against poor English speakers. Rich kids who can't speak English seem to have no trouble buying their degree.

I don't see I or any other developer would abandon their homebrew agent implementation for a "standard" which isn't actually a standard yet. I also don't see any of that implementation as "boilerplate". Ye

That's a narrow view of what surgery entails and also a grand interpretation of what professional programming actually looks like.

When I cut open my ceiling to fix a plumbing issue I didn't know what I was going to find exactly, but I had a pretty good idea of the possibilities. My estimate for how long the fix would take was pretty close. Software is the same th

I guess I just don't buy that software is full of unknowns whereas construction is not. Contractors have to plan for surprises as well. The thing is they've done enough similar work to understand the risks and account for them in

Yes exactly this. Perhaps when I said "skill issue" I should have said "experience" instead as another poster suggested.

by jappgar 2y ago
Yes I think you're right about it being based on experience. It's still a "skill issue" but it's more about knowing how long it will take you or your team. If you don't have the relevant experience with the tec

A lot of ink has been spilled on this topic. The solution is simple: get better at estimating. Software engineers act as if they're the only ones in the world who are asked to estimate and then held accountable. It's a skill issue

You're right. It's not that disloyalty necessarily enables better software but that, apparently, loyalty is not a requirement. It can also be true that the work culture in Japan stymies effective modern software development. I&#x2

Well, Japan hasn't done too well in the software world over the last 30 years. Meanwhile American software companies and employees are both infamously disloyal and have done quite well.
