I love MongoDB's query language (JS/Node.js developer so the syntax fits my mental model well), but running a production replica set without spending tons of cash is a nightmare. Doubly so if you have any unoptimized queries (it&#

Not necessarily. They're different programming paradigms and the LLM isn't thinking, it's just giving you what is most likely to be the correct translation. But unlike a written language, there's a ton of technical nua

It seems to be relative to skill level. If you're less-experienced, you're letting these things write most if not all of your code. If you're more experienced, that's inverted (you write most of the code and let the AI s

100% this. The culture has shifted toward normalizing lying to such a degree that now, most people will stare you in the eye and lie to your face for the sake of self-preservation. Low-trust is now the default, high-trust is a rare luxury.

Hadn't heard of that new hooks feature, cool way to show it off. Definitely got me thinking about taking packages off of NPM and what to replace it with.

I really dislike how this industry oscillates between various states of epiphany that things that are overcomplicated and expensive are overcomplicated and expensive. As an industry, we must look like utter clowns to the world. It's re

Dad is gone. Tim Cook is a logistics guy, not a visionary. Simple as. If there isn't anybody around to care, nobody cares—even at Apple.

This may be mean, but we should really be careful about just handing AI over to technically illiterate people. They're far more likely to blind trust the LLM/AI output than someone who may be more experienced and take a beat. AI i

This. Post-crypto, AI was the obvious next gambit for VC. Their money flows to hype, not product. The second that hype starts to fade and the money dries up, VCs will be running with their Harold Hill trunk full of cash toward the border. J

It would behoove a lot of devs to learn the basics of Linux sysadmin and how to setup a basic deployment with a VPS. Once you understand that, you'll realize how much of "modern infra" is really just a mix of over-reliance on

It's all about saving time. If you don't care about a particular implementation, just that it works, you're more likely a candidate for a framework. If you do care (or just want to understand how it works), then less so. On

A shockingly rare question to be asked. As best as I can tell, the biggest threat to civilization isn't AI, it's our culture of "that's not my problem" leaving otherwise patch-able holes in critical systems.

I can't for the life of me understand why infotainment systems knock so many engineers for a loop. Is there a particular reason (industry/domain-specific) beyond just low-quality software development? My Mazda 3 (2018) just had a

Great name and a reasonable solution to the problems of JSON (can't speak for the implementation but the DX value of this is huge).

If this is accurate, this whole thing is beyond hysterical. Irrespective of political beliefs, this is an insane thing to have happen in the U.S. (this example is innocuous speech protected under the 1st amendment). Spooky shit as it sets

This is what happens when you let people other than the ones doing the work do the hiring. Everybody leans on leet code and chasing the bleeding edge (buzzwords) because that's as far as the HR department's understanding of the te

People only care about quality when cash is flowing and there's money to be made. Most companies fail to understand you have to value quality from day one, not bolt it on later. And when the economic incentives aren't there? You c
