Every company structures a codebase differently. So it’s best to be open. I have worked at many places where speed vs quality didn’t come up. Also it depends on the constraints. A HFT company is much more worried about getting cache hits wh

Edit: feel free to summarize this with an LLM it will be a ginormous comment. That's a fair question and I'll do my best to answer this. It'll come in an edit. I think it's fair to say: not all courses were created equal

I am team academia more than hands-on experience. And I have 5 years of experience. To me, it felt like most SWE things could eventually be solved by what I learned at school. Not everything I did I learned at school, such as navigating cod

Hmm... they remain similar-ish. But I think that's also because I have a lot in my claude.md file that they have to follow empiricism as a philosophy. Things need to be verified, researched, backed by data, etc. That's also how I

I vibe coded a super simple communication layer with my agents. I'm all for it as certain things shouldn't be put in certain contexts for one. I have a lot more roles though and it's more flexible, but also a bit slower as it

As a Dutchie the way I used sorry is along the lines of “I am sorry, I won’t do that again.” Then I had a long relationship with an ethnically Dutch person but culturally a Londoner (she grew up there) and also learned there is “I am sorry

I am an AI engineer and I honestly agree. Talking about LLMs feels like the new crypto, with some nuances (i.e. many innovative things being possible and done with LLMs whereas crypto innovations were… few and far between).

I had a similar challenge but more dating oriented (not fully though). I'm not at your level, but I want to be. Happily married nowadays, so it'd be a pure social challenge this time.

I feel his pain. I am more towards the opposite end of the spectrum [1]. I program to get things done. Usually, I don’t like programming. It’s too focused on one thing. Sometimes I like it though, precisely because it’s focused on one thing

When you have an IR-1 in the process, but we decided to move to Europe is it then better to cancel that application or is it better to just let it go through the system and sort of cancel it at the point when we're invited for an inter

In the Netherlands many senior SWEs make €85K+ at the moment and that is what $100k+ is right now. I'm writing this because I don't consider NL to be the top country in Europe where you can make a lot of money being a SWE. And I&#

Some people pay attention. I know I do. Thanks for mentioning it.

Seconding that, not sure if it's the full take I'd stand behind but the perspective is definitely food for thought and way more thought out than my own.

Yea, I have 3 type of accounts (and the HN mods know this and they tell me I'm not the only one). 1. This account, an account where I'm fully myself, honest and is a pseudonym as to who I really am. I do not want this to be linked

Yea no worries, just wanted others to know since when I typed the comment, the submission was quite fresh. It was my hope that it would make less people confused. I didn't mind that there was a typo.

Simply put, I don't think OpenAI has principles, otherwise they'd still be open. Do I even need to read their article? No, I don't. Change my mind. I just had King's day in the Netherlands so maybe I'm too alcohol f
