I think that the debate of what is "enough human authorship" quite pointless in this case. If you're using an artist's work to feed your engine that makes money for you, then you owe these guys something, it doesn't

Incredible that a site about design, interfaces and usability looks like a geocities page from the 90's. If the author is reading this page, sorry but someone had to tell you this.

You use a platitude(creating business value) to reach a non sequitur(that's why developers must estimate their tasks). To say that a developer is there to create business value is a truism that's completely irrelevant to this disc

Don't get me wrong, LLMs are pretty breathtaking. In my opinion, just the way that they parse natural language, "understand" it and can generate a meaningful response is absolutely impressive and would be considered out of re

The scariest thing of all is how the average citizen is in a certain sense not reaping the benefits of automation. You would think that automating your job would make you free to work less. No, of course not, you end up either unemployed or

Seriously, I really wished this were an inflammatory hippie talking point but unfortunately it isn't: the truth is that for saving the rich, the whole system moves. When the financial world is at risk, there is never ever a lack of mon

The main theme of the article was: should I start with stable old tech or go to unstable new tech right away? First the author links to an article called "the Fallacies of Enterprise Computing" that I honestly didn't read but

I think this article is kind of misleading. You use messaging for asynchronous communication and REST for synchronous communication. The article makes me believe that using REST for synchronous communication is a kind of deprecated alternat

Honestly I don't agree with you, the abstract concept behind XML is just to provide a metalanguage for the representation of hierarchical data, and that's exactly what JSON and YAML do. They are completely interchangeable. XML is

XML was supposed to be a silver bullet of the myriad of ad-hoc formats for structuring documents that existed in the wild pre 2000(I got this information contested here, but that's what an old professor told me). In the XML "stack

Your wife is still studying? So she probably has never worked in the field, right? Maybe it's not better for her to start working for a company to get her name in the street and connect with relevant players/customers first?

OP wanted to give a more humorous, literary tone to his history and the GP interpreted it as literally as possible. I would rather bet that OP has asperger than OP has schizophrenia.

Nobody can convince me that big corps are not taking part this "trend" of firing people with the purpose of rehiring them later and keep the compensation of the workforce in check. As many comments have already pointed out, all th
