The engineering is in saying "I need to get this data within these performance constraints", not in the now worthless knowledge of exactly how to fetch it.

Because it's not about avoiding SQL (although that's a benefit), it's that you also get forms for free, view classes, easy APIs, validation, a free admin, free docs and a large pool of potential employees who all understand t

It excels when you're iterating on an MVP. Once a business is proven and you have the money to go back and put in the the gold-plated solutions, sure, write your own. But while you're building the MVP it's amazing. No need to

I've used it to write horrendously complex queries across multiple tables. It can do things I don't know how to and that would have taken significant time to learn. All I know is it works and it's performant when you tell it

It depends on the complexity of what you're building, how clearly you can define it and how much you need to experiment and iterate.

For me the killer feature of django is the auto-generated admin UI. I initially started my last project using Spring boot, but I was astonished to find there was no equivalent. I don't know how people build websites in any speed withou

Ninja is even better than the REST framework. Practically no boilerplate.

This is largely academic now. LLMs do a good job of writing highly complex queries with the django ORM. All you need is the django toolbar so you can check their efficiency, then keep telling it to make them more efficient.

When you get ill and what the doctors give you doesn't work you have to research for yourself. Added to that you wonder if you'll ever get better. My own research was the only way I got clear of an illness I had after what the doc

Keep telling yourself that. There are plenty of examples of us knowing our biases but still being caught by them.

I don't think repeatedly referring to gaining unauthorised access to a network as a "trick" would trick a judge (or corporate lawyers) much at all...

Segmentation changes probably means more companies are in the "not interested" segment now than we'd like. We're going to throw a load of stuff at the wall this year to see what sticks.

I think I saw a YouTube video of a guy in a chamber simulating what happens. Basically you have less than 30s before you enter a state of delirium in which it doesn't seem important to put your mask on, so then you die. That's why

No it's because they need to have a growth plan and developing massive new markets is what shareholders have wet dreams about. Failure is irrelevant. It keeps the share price high while they try other things at the same time.

That was my first thought when I read about that. What are the odds that both defendants die on the same day in "accidents"?

The important part was sticking to them and not just using them as a feeble bargaining chip. Negotiations always come down to strength of need and best alternatives. It seems Elsevier overplayed their hand. They could have given in, but the

It's obvious there's potential. It's also obvious it requires at least one other major breakthrough. But no one knows how far away that is.

IMO they are definitely doing something. I've had countless occasions where the first few times I run a prompt I get excellent output, then several tries later it just returns the same dumb-sounding AI shite.

What is prompt engineering? A glorified term for a process of trial and error until you get something you like and which can stop working at any time.

You can't use the word 'craft' without me thinking an article is AI generated now

Highly unlikely since today's models can't consistently follow simple instructions. Eg "don't waffle, don't sound like you're writing an essay, don't use the fucking word delve, don't apologise"

Elton John is well known for doing duets and networking with upcoming stars. It's one way he stays relevant, and he said in an interview it's a way for him to give back. He often showcases new stars when he's on tour.
