Again this is not true with a real world recent example. For context: for the project I’m about to describe, I did the 3 week discovery process where I iterated through the design. I designed the architecture from an empty AWS account with

Yes the security boundary is the AWS account. It doesn’t make sense for a random employee who mistakenly uses a third party app to compromise all of its users it’s a poor security architecture. It’s about as insecure as having one Apache S

Hell doing this with fixed price AWS Lightsale based services would be better.

by raw_anon_1111 6mo ago
Why does anyone running a third party tool have access to all of their clients’ accounts? I can’t imagine something this stupid happening with a real service provider. I see Vercel is hosted on AWS? Are they hosting every one on a single A

I had a friend in college who bought Computer Shopper just for the ads. He built and upgraded his PCs. Back then the price of everything would drop by the month and new processors could double your performance.

If you are a senior developer [1] responsible for delivering projects where you have to delegate to mid level ticket takers, you have to deal with developers who are also non deterministic and you can never trust their quality. Hell my codi

You have to ask yourself - why? I’ve worked full time for consulting departments/companies (not staff aug) where I have been over projects for 6 years. I get paid whether I’m on vacation, on the bench, full benefits, etc. They take ca

Yes because with the first amendment, a president can’t sue news organizations for saying mean things and get them to pay him personally $15 million a piece (Paramount/CBS and Disney/ABC) and teachers can’t be fired for quoting ra

At the height of first phase of using Macs between 1992 and 1998 having an Mac LCII and later a PowerMac 6100/60, I had a 5 device SCSI chain including a Zip Drive and later a Jaz drive (1GB removable drive) along with two hard drives

Outsourced staff aug contractors have always been mediocre. From the contracting side, I’ve worked as a staff Aug contractor for six weeks when I was between jobs in 2012 and it was so bad I just walked off with no job lined up within four

All of the streaming devices except for the AppleTV are sold at or below cost subsidized by advertising. If you care about a good streaming devices with anything above bottom of the barrel hardware and you don’t want to buy an Apple device

I am a lead consultant and depending on the size of the project, I do have a team of less senior consultants who are dotted line reports. If I ever found one of my reports who missed deadlines because they refused to do something as simple

Before AI, I didn’t know how each line of code worked for a project I was responsible for but the work was done by lower level developers. If I had a question about how they implemented something I would ask them to walk me through it and

No BigCorp would ever use a SaaS product that doesn’t have SSO federation. No IT department wants to keep track of individual logons.

Can’t speak for search engines specifically. But I recently had to do a project which required me to crawl the customer’s large site and index it into a vector search for RAG for a call center. My first attempt was to use crawl it just by

With his experience, I seriously doubt that he is trying to compete in the job market based on his ability to “codez real gud”. At his (and my) experience level he is more than likely going to get his next job based on a higher level of “

And if I were your boss you would immediately be fired if you spent weeks trying to debug an issue a junior developer solved just by launching Claude and telling it the symptoms of the issue because you refused to use an LLM.

Why? I’m as old timer as old timer can get - started programming as a hobby in 1986 in assembly on an Apple //e in 65C02 assembly language. But just today a bug was reported by a customer (we are still in testing not a production

Don’t dismiss the fact that you didn’t start trying to find a problem to start a business without knowing the vertical. You knew the industry not just from talking to customers - you were the first best customer of your own product. You h

It’s not reflexive criticism. Why would anyone work for sn organization where the CEO continuously criticizes its workers and treats them badly. Would you work for Twitter? I don’t know enough about the current NASA administration so it is

I work for a consulting company, we know exactly how much each billable person makes the company and whether the ROI is worth it. We don’t have to measure “productivity gains”. I personally don’t come close to that and neither do I suspect

And nor are they trying to. If you are spending $200 a month, you are a mere tolerated nuisance. The company I work for gives every developer a $5000 a month allowance to Claude and I think there are around 500-600 people eligible for it.

The whole “you can make a lot of money programming in COBOL” is one of those myths that needs to die. Even the briefest of Google searches show they make around the same as any other enterprise dev if not slightly less.

At any tech company with leveling guidelines that I have seen, promotions above mid level have never been based on “I codez real gud”. It’s always been based on scope, impact and dealing with ambiguity. It’s stated differently in differen
