I highly question the ability of companies to gauge the level of experience of any dev. The distinction between junior, mid, senior, lead is a facade. It is a soft gradient that spans multiple areas, but is tainted and skewed by the technol

That is so laggy, but the UI looks really cool!

If you look at the technical state of Unreal Engine 5, then how modern GPUs can barely run games without frame generation which also makes them look blurry, then you are not surprised. Its not just gamers but also developers who are fed up

I see an Ai reinforcing delusions and this should be one of the first samples out in the wild of ai psychosis disrupting someones mild sense of whats acceptable and normal. I really hope the LLM wrote this and pretends to be human..

I just hope they accelerate this with a complete ID requirement everywhere, so I can finally forcibly kick my addiction to such time sinks and interact with my friends in more direct ways.

Now consider how much of the original C compiler's source code it was trained on and still managed to output a worse result?

I like how my eyes went over the first sentence, barely parsing it and already discarding the information, because its obviously ai generated. Its like the circumstances we live in added a new layer of perception to my brain to guard itself

I wonder if interacting with AI all day, whether you work with it or just talk to it, has a negative impact on your perception of reality...

How do you learn soft skills? Maybe you have a point there
192.
by mawadev 9mo ago
Feels like soft skills are peddled as if developers don't have "enough" and it is a common assumption by nearly everyone that this is the case. I think of it in a similar way: the magnitude of soft skills you put on display i

I think this could be applied to most fields where LLMs move in. Let's take the field we are probably most familiar with. Currently companies start to shift from enhancing productivity of their employees with giving them access to LLMs

Doesn't this imply that you were not getting the level of efficiency out of your investment? It would be a little odd to say this publicly as this says more about you and your company. The question would be what your code does and if i

I went online first time in 2010/2011 and I have to say, I wish I didn't. I remember the world before the internet and ever since it started, life became a massive blur...

Exactly. Some jobs moved from database, backend, frontend and devops to "fullstack", which means 4 jobs with the pay of one. People do that job, but with only 8h-10h in a day the quality is as expected. I think overall people will

by mawadev 9mo ago
I mean it's pretty simple: management will take bad quality (because they don't understand the field) over having and paying more employees any day. Software engineer positions will shrink and be unrecognizable: one person expec

I agree with your points... From my POV, the pattern seems to be good/bad/good/bad, but what actually happens is a subtle lowering of our standards and expectations that we have towards what an OS has to do and how it does th

99% of open source authors quit right before they go viral!! Would you please upload your training data ... I mean lovely open source code??

It's not a skill in particular but I want to decouple the way I think from todays economics. I want to learn skills that give me confidence and well being instead of training me to be a better cog in the machinery, so that I can impres

I keep reading bad sentiment towards software devs. Why exactly do they "bully" business people? If you ask someone outside of the tech sector who the biggest bullies are, its business people who will fire you if they can save a f

You can even track people by favicon which bypasses incognito mode. Another part is hiding font urls in css with more tracking...

The case against complex UI hides the fact that nobody wants to take their time to learn a piece of software anymore. Attention spans are so short, if the system doesn't do all the thinking for you, why bother with it? We are just movi

We are seeing the realtime result of MS buying Github and buying influence. Put this into context with what happened to twitter when it was bought. I stopped hosting my code on GH, even in private repositories years ago. It is a privacy nig
