What makes you think it’ll be “half broken garbage”? We’re at AI’s 80s brick cell phone stage right now, there’s a lot of improvement to come.

My experience with these AI coding tools so far has been that while they're great for writing functions and explaining hard to understand errors, they’re really let down by the fact they don’t have high level context of the project or

It’s easy to be snarky about the BS promises, but the important thing is that progress is being made, however incrementally it comes.

I’m so pleased to see the resurgence rails is having right now. It’s such a great framework and is an absolute joy to work with.

Britain isn’t a developing country, it’s a regressing one. Public services and government that used to work well now don’t, and opportunities that everyday folk used to have they now don’t. It’s still a nice place if you’re in a good career

I really resent the bloat of modern operating systems. MacOS in particular. I feel like I need ridiculously powerful hardware now just to do the same things I was doing 15 years ago - web browsing, web development, a photo library and playi

Sample size of 1, but I was a kid who begged for a Nintendo so I could play Zelda, then I switched to PlayStation for GTA 3, and then Xbox for Halo. It’s always been about the games for me. Exclusives really matter.

Does it, or is it just some tech companies? I wish the media would stop treating the biggest, most notable orgs as the whole industry. They’re the tip of a very large iceberg. Yes, not every company or every role is going to go 100% remote,

No. I’m saying the social safety net is inadequate.

I stopped paying attention to these sorts of stats when I realised it’s far more effective to focus on improving what I’m making in a way that doesn’t compromise other things I value in life (leisure time, location, type of work, etc) than
