I think many have lost the main point of this post: 37signals seems to be a successful tech company, and their employees are having fun. Very few tech companies can say that. So, it doesn't really matter if they ditch k8s for their own

> People can claim otherwise and it may be true for a small percentage of people but if you have less than 3 years of real professional experience, 100% remote is a bad idea. So, if I have 15 years of experience can I work from home? Hum

That artists will be able to do more not necessarily mean that fewer of them will ne needed. I bet the opposite actually. Companies will want to produce more (with more resources) not the same (with less resources).

The immediate benefactor of tagging non-ai generated data would be OpenAI.

How do you setup sshd or the ufw, or fail2ban... with Docker? I do see the point on running nginx and a Python apps using Docker, though.

by lmarcos 4y ago
Ansible is useful for stuff like installing openssh on the server and setting up a secure sshd config file. Or setting up ufw. You can do more, of course. I don't think Docker is suitable for that kind of stuff.

The problem is: REST = http GraphQL = http + GQL + resolvers Sure, one more layer of abstraction here and there may be justified. In the case of GraphQL, it's not.

Any recommendations regarding blue ray vendors and disc readers?

It's not anti-work sentiment. It's like the people who drink too much alcohol or smoke everyday: is it bad for your body? Probably, but you definitely can go ahead and do it, no one is going to stop you.

At least for me, product development is all about the business: you need to get feedback to know you're building the right thing (otherwise you're fired). Whereas when one creates alone, it's all about the pleasure of creatin

These companies laying off people are doing so because they made a mistake to begin with (over hiring). So, yeah, if you make one mistake, you can make another. And no: not all tech companies have over hired during the pandemic and they are

Retirement doesn't mean to stop working with computers. It means to stop working with computers to make your boss/CEO rich (in exchange for a bit of money). You can still work on stuff that interests you.

Nah. When AI is able to do all what you have said, requirements will just get harder and humans will still have to put hours to make something done. Just like 30 years ago it wasn't feasible to implement streaming music over the intern

Main reason to use a standalone mp3 device is: doing excersie (sports, running, etc.). I cannot play, let's say basketball with my phone hanging around. Nor running, nor almost anything that implies excersising.

I regularly use ChatGPT to improve my English. I write a paragraph, I don't like it and ask ChatGPT to rewrite it fixing grammar mistakes (English is not my first language). Would that be considered plagiarism? No (just like using Gram

This is the equivalent of "My cousin can build me a website in a weekend. Why are you charging me so much Mr. software engineer?"

Well, we could "just" avoid Google and Bing. Sure, other search engines may not be as powerful as the big ones, but it's up to us to make them more popular (they get more revenue, so they can improve their engine... We just n

But what difference does it make? If I were a scammer I would: - buy a domain for 20 USD/year and create the corresponding hr@MyNiceAndSeriousLookingDomain.com - do what the scammer did in the blog post but without grammatical errors (

Am I the only one who thinks that tech like ChatGPT and similars will only increase the demand of software engineers? In the past, software engineers were dealing with punched cards (few engineers), later on they were dealing with assembler

May I ask how much does an assistant like that cost? If you cannot (don't want to) tell the price in absolute terms, then maybe in relatives one? (e.g., 5% of your monthly net income?)

Seems like it has the same coding abilities I had when I started to write code many years ago. Wonder how fast it can become better... I bet: exponentially faster than me.

To me it sounds like ChatGPT worked like Bootstrap: you need to make your website project decent looking but you don't know your way through css (although you know the fundamentals), Bootstrap to the rescue. Needless to say: Bootstrap

The point is not what we (techies) think about the usefulness of ChatGPT. The point is that managers will definitely think ChatGPT is worth doing... Just like they think Jira/Scrum/Agile/etc. is worth our time. I definitely s
