I've never seen anything that couldn't be incrementally improved. There are definitely tons of situations where the additional effort to "make it good" is worth incurring upfront. But you can definitely make something w

My dad was born in the 50s in a small southern town. He didnt learn about pizza until the 60s. My great uncle moved to Queens and came back home to visit with his kids one day. The kids asked my father "Where is the pizza place here?&q

Interestingly enough, I asked both Bard and ChatGPT to recite the lyrics of a specific verse from a well known rap song and they both basically hallucinated rap lyrics that have no connection to the song. I thought ChatGPT's verse was

They probably talk shit about the others' code to their faces. After 30 years, they are probably like siblings. All the politeness and sugarcoating is gone. Say how you feel and move on. They are also probably intimately familiar with

Exactly. I'll do the take home all day long over standing in front of a white board and hoping I'm familiar with the random programming trivial question that I'm about to be asked.

I actually look at it in the opposite way. There actually are modern English purists. We sometimes call them grammar nazis. Its not usually the result of some overtly oppressive ideology. They just mistakenly believe that there is a &qu

No indication other than the fact that they purchased ZeniMax and then almost immediately cancelled the PlayStation version of Starfield. They still haven't come out and said definitively that Elder Scrolls 6 will release on Playstatio

And that's the problem with Jira. It tries to be everything to everyone. Allowing every middle manager to hand craft their own little snowflake dev process. That's almost always a bad idea.
