It is quite shocking how you over generalize one massive codebase of a working product that has been in use for decades to a couple of projects you did with your single human in the loop process while projecting that experience onto every o

Very true, but it was more "functional" back then and I'm not talking about software quality, but dark patterns/enshittification obstructing it. Now you have dark patterns and decreasing quality. Where exactly is the val

The netflix example hits hard. I don't want to advertise the chinese pendant to it, but basically it has 2 minute "movies" with AI generated scenes that you can scroll like netflix. The amount of raw energy that went into pro

I have to say, initially coffee is good, but over time it chips away your sleep, your rest and then you kind of lose it. I have periods where I purposely decondition my body and brain from coffee just to reap the benefits again without all

I never said anything about a role model, I said people having to do multiple roles in one. But I kind of agree with you, if your boss doesn't like you, you can literally build rockets to the moon and get laid off :^) These days it is

I find it funny how businesses can induce fear in people who think they are losing their jobs to ai. Then they lay people off anyway and make the remaining ones do the work of multiple roles. It is a kind of deadlock coming from stagnation,

I feel like sooner or later we all hollow out a little more. All this data is either used to prevent crime or to influence your thoughts and what you do in the world. Outsourcing your thinking to something else leads to digital dementia. Wh

Getting the requirements did not work properly before, what makes you believe it is going to happen now?

by mawadev 2mo ago
You are putting a lot of words and judgements into the authors mouth. Why exactly is it acceptable to not just do your role and expect the underlying requirements to be correct and measurable, especially when there are separate roles whose

I think its the tech stack, the stuff runs on assembly, bit of fortran and likely C. You simply cannot match that level of reliability these days, because people started to forget how to do that... Look at cars and everything else...

I have no idea why we go down the route of "us" vs "them" type of thinking. Have you considered both sides to be an abstract kind of hell?

The concept of job security and stability has been broken, so everyone is too busy securing their future by collecting as much money before there is another record profit layoff!

I mean yeah, just wait until you hear about Ark survival ascended: A game with a single 188gb ucas file extracts itself during update, taking over 400gb just to patch 2gb and then rezips itself.

You know whats the cherry on top? I got it working today and you have to download the actual halo 1 campaign as a DLC from inside or outside the MCC game. Even if I got it working yesterday, I'd have to wait for another download. What

I wanted to show my gf the halo 1 campaign, so I downloaded the 30GB Masterchief Collection via steam. When I launched it, I was greeted with a black box. After 1 Minute it was a microsoft login screen that looked eerily like a browser insi

I'd be really interested to see all the software that is written by agents. Whenever I touch agents or ai I can't get much use out of them. My understanding is the value when I think aloud with them/treat them as a better goo

"We can disagree about the specific numbers here, but if you think this is wildly off, you’ve probably never been a senior developer" I'd even say the productivity gap is even smaller, if not negative in some areas...

I'm gonna say it bluntly: I don't care about bun, never cared about bun and think nodejs is sufficient. The drama surrounding zig and rust still leaves me with a bad taste because I also don't like how nonsensical topics like
