Not when they lead to ways of refactoring code to make it easier to maintain, or reasons for not adding a particular feature.

They're also being really loose with the term "older developers" by describing it as anybody with more than ten years of experience.

Not arguing against this article but aren't all these ideas already well known in the industry? Start with an MVP, don't optimize prematurely, avoid writing brittle code (systems, really), abstract implementation details away when

I think it's overly simplistic to frame the issue as one of manager-vs-managed. Everybody is distracted by whatever messages come their way, whether orders from above or reports from below (not to mention self-imposed distractions like

I was unable to find information mentioned in some ads, and couldn't figure out why. The scanned text was reasonably legible that I would assume it would have OCRed correctly.

Arguably they're clients as well, since they provide a web-based (client) interface. That aside, I'm wondering how hard it would be to provide these filters in formats for other clients (I'm thinking of Thunderbird in particu

We're just using TeamViewer. I connect remotely to my colleague's computer while they are sitting in front of their keyboard.

Have you tried plugging in a second keyboard and taking over where necessary? I do a lot of remote work in which my colleague and I work on the same computer and it's quite useful for either of us to jump in with our own keyboard (and

My (German) grandmother used to write me letters in English using this script. I didn't find it too difficult to read, probably because I understood the context (names of other family members, questions about my day-to-day activities,

As the cost of AI-generated code approaches zero (both in time and money), I see nothing wrong with letting the AI agent spin up a dev environment and take its best shot. If it can prove with rigorous testing that the new code works is at l

No disrespect for your ability to read Arduino code, but no amount of experience will tell you why the code was written a certain way. Did the programmer not know of any alternatives? Did they specifically choose this one method because i

This may work for the author, and for other people, but I would never give this advice. It supposes you are able to articulate where you want to be in five years, and have the ability to break that down into actionable tasks. Most people ju

How is it supposed to compile if you've written something syntactically invalid? You can make the argument that the compiler could interpret it in (perhaps even arbitrary) valid way that constitutes a valid syntax, but that's almo

If I was a writer, I'd consider publishing my works under a license that explicitly bans AI training. What happens when those works inevitably get ingested by an LLM?

> Programs should be valid as they are typed. That would be nice if devs always wrote code sequentially, i.e. left to right, one character at a time, one line at a time. But the reality is that we often jump around, filling in some thing

That's an example of the type of existing agent that I was alluding to. So you're not wrong, but it doesn't change what I was suggesting.

This could be even easier to implement than the author suggests, at least for the cited use case of when a new web page is published (e.g. Part 2 of an article). The simplest solution--assuming you know what the URL will be--is to have your

Not saying you're wrong, just wondering if it was an option to take a picture of the screen using your phone. In my experience, that's how students tend to capture such info when it isn't provided to them electronically.
