Right. Just use the LLM to generate it for you /s

You mean the middle management? I have been in environments where they were almost literally made up of pencil pushers. Wouldn't be too sad to see them go. Only half joking, but it is written in jest.

Indeed, there were plenty of people doing just that. I imagine they get the most out of vibe coding. However, when it became a problem, an engineer was still required to fix it. It might have been you, a couple of months later, or someone e

Indeed. I have to say, I hate this. Suppose you are in a meeting, you update something and you see the result, but the rest of the team does not. Ok, a couple of hundred ms does not play into this but if the update does not make it through?

Depends on how far back you go.

But... software engineering was never about the boiler plate. Or adding the extra parameter. It was about knowing how to fit the new use case into an existing code base, respecting the architecture, and sometimes rearchiteting the solution.

I tend to agree. I was describing how I think it could work and how I suppose it worked before. Nowadays, when contact with many people outside of the group is ubiquitous, I think it's next to impossible, but maybe there's people

In a poly I would guess people need to feel attached to a group not a single individual, in a sense loving all people in the group almost equally. Mostly, we are not raised that way and culturally it would be unconventional, to say the leas

Other posters have said something similar, but I wanted to be more direct: nobody should ever seek validation from outside of themselves (not that I don't have problems with this, I am just saying how it should be). It's inevitabl

I think it is important to learn how to implement it because it gives the student an opportunity to learn precisely because it's been done countless times and debated over to death. There are many analyses and if one doesn't click

We know not to equate the governments' policies with people. Of any country. Don't worry about it.

I am pretty sure there would have to be a court order, i.e. a severe violation would have to have good ground to be suspected.

You mean, you have not created a meet with the relative who could only join remotely and did not transcribe it for the relatives who could not attend? I am shocked /j

Average programmer too /j Frankly, though, I think lispy community has benefited from being smaller. For example, even though the now ancient Design Patterns already warned programmers to prefer composition over inheritance, the OO pro

Well, unfortunately, it's not such common knowledge that it would be considered sarcastic by default. I have learned to be explicit by appending "/s" or "/j" so it's clearer.

I believe they meant on average.

I've known this to differ between professors as well as exams. Lower levels and higher volume ones were almost always marked by assistants. The oral exam was always done by professors, though.

by prerok 4mo ago
Indeed, evaluating an exam does not take that much time that it would be considered expensive. That said, in my country (in EU), it's not indefinite tries. The fourth and later attempts (up to 8, I think) have oral exams in front of a

Could not agree more. I also taught for some time and generally had good results, almost everybody "got it". There was one person, though, that I just could not get anywhere with. Even after several private lessons. Turned out tha

Thank you for the explanation but I still don't quite get it. Is this code mounted to a separate VM where the agent is running? I mean, how does the sandboxing of agents really work? The reason I am asking is because if it's not s

Hahaha, hilarious. I could also tell a story or two like that. I have to say, though, I have no idea what the management is thinking when they hire such clueless PMs. Even worse, I have seen clueless product owners who had no idea about the

I've seen these suggestions but I am really curious about the set up because I just don't get it. If you want to work on the code then you need to have access to the repositories, so you need the github token. Then, to test the ap

Yeah, good luck with that. I've had too many libraries change underneath me by clearly violating the previous contract that I know it doesn't work.

Well, yes, but here the Pareto principle comes to mind, though.

Well, there is also a big difference that it will not learn over time. If a junior makes a mistake and it will not be caught in time they will automatically learn. With LLMs we have to teach them about their mistakes with adapting the harne

Are we, though? No offence but if an external module starts calling an internal function they better prepare a PR that changes the internal (yes, I know, by convention) to a public one. This is a signal to the developers of that module that

It is indeed a significant undertaking. But... it is doable. I've worked on a code base that converted several functionalities to golang. It did take a lot of effort and quite a lot of planning.

Indeed and using SIGKILL is really cruel. At least with SIGTERM the process can say its goodbyes. /j

No, then you go back to programming on the white board, just like in college. /j

Indeed, however I would also point out that senior engineers have already been expected to be good at reading code: they were expected to evaluate the code quality of other contributors, so they had to be able to do that. In fact, from my p
