Could you elaborate a bit on the tasks,languages,domain etc you’re using it with? People have such widely varying experiences and I’m wondering why.

Close but not quite.

No libraries. All the niche languages have a chicken and egg problem. Only way around that is to be able to piggy back on C or JavaScript or Java.

Woah that’s bleak. You don’t have to be faster than the bear, just faster than the other people the bear is chasing. The bar is so low in corporate America you could trip on it. Just try to be halfway competent, do something useful at work,

LLMs are fantastic at summaries and finding where XYZ happens. “Where is the customer entity saved to the database?”

Agreed LLMs are fantastic autocomplete for experts. Often giving 90% of what you need. But those junior devs…

Yes but no. It’s decisions. Ninety five percent is all the decisions made from every person involved. The fastest delivery I ever encountered were situations where the stakeholders were intimately familiar with the problem and made quick de

Unfortunately, the micro-methods his clean coding style oroduce ends up doing the exact opposite. Context is never close at hand, it is scattered all over the place defeating the purpose.

How likely are young OBGYNs going to chose deep red states with very restrictive reproductive laws where they could be held criminally liable for standard practices? MAGA is a death cult. Everything they do accelerates the demise of their w

Why on earth would you trust your money to a start up like this? Nobody with any real money and smarts is going to do that. Now if this was somehow a crypto play, I’m sure they’d be rolling in it.

Isn't just lack of flat land near major urban areas in the west? Texas is growing rapidly but doesn't have this issue.

Your experience would be incredibly valuable. However are you sure you want to take the cut in prestige/pay? In the medtech space there's a huge need for project mangers, etc wish medical experience. So knowing how to code and how

Older people have families, hobbies outside of work etc. So they want to get in, get it done, go home. This usually leads to stuff getting done at a steady cadence. This is a bit sarcastic of course, seeing other ridiculous comments about o

If I were to start another company, I'd try to hire only 40+ people. - I've found junior engineers super resistant to new tech. Very rigid thinking, there is only way way to do something bc that's all they've ever learn

Head of an engineering program told us to always make sure the prototype has at least one glaring bug/flaw. His background was electrical engineering but it applies doubly in software.

So right back to basic data engineering/analytics? “Why is this dashboard showing this number?” That’s my concern with any data “insight” magic. How do you debug what it’s telling the users?

What kind of IO? That's where they get you.

No you just shift bounded capex to unbounded opex.

We lost an unmaintainable spaghetti code mess. Not crying any tears. Vanilla javascript now is way better than the mystery methods in jQuery. Does this call return zero, one or many things? Also what does it return? Who knows! We'll fi

I think most people would be shocked to know how much glue code is in powershell or bash/perl that kind of keeps everything running. I remember looking on in horror as a QA person who was responsible for the install/deploy of some

Python has a lot of libraries (ai, machinelearning, data stuff, whatever) that no one has bothered porting to .net (or other platforms). .Net is usually a second tier target but python ALWAYS has first tier support (along with java and usua

My main usecase for linqpad is database interactive stuff or exploratory code with .dump(). I see this as more of a complement to that. However I have worked at places that HATED powershell and we used linqpad for almost all scripting. It w
