Any competent engineer should understand that engineering is just the assembly line side of product development. Deciding when to release which feature, bug fixes, etc. and the development/management of the product in general has alway

Because they've fallen down the conspiracy theory rabbit hole to the point of where they only trust things if there's a convoluted explanation behind it.

For those of us not totally enveloped in the tech bubble I don't think this will be terribly shocking. In general, there's a sizeable and growing number of people who want products with less tech, not more. They're tired of e

This is ultimately a good thing, but as a country we also need to talk about the effects of cannabis use on neurodivergent folks. Its not as harmful as other drugs but also isn't really a good coping mechanism. Especially if you'r

The way you fight this is to get another job. At this point all jobs in big tech are just temp jobs anyways. Eventually the reality of this will sink in and the smart people necessary to power this company will invest time into career paths

LLMs make for great day 1 demos, but in a few weeks I promise you many people will be able to tell nearly all of the images generated by this are AI. It just takes time and exposure to figure out the new common flaws. Frankly, I am not sure

Can't wait for all scams to rip of older folks and people who aren't there but aren't so far gone they still have that nobody has power of attorney over them.

Wait until companies try powering their businesses with agentic systems. Then businesses aren't paying a ransom to prevent privacy law lawsuits, but rather they'll be paying a ransom equivalent to the black market value of their b

Good on you for quitting, but unless you know of people in your network who're willing to buy what you're making not sure if this will work. Often times its the simplest ideas that make the most profitable businesses. You know, li

People like to put companies that are household names on pedestals, but the choices they make are mostly guided by what their people can do and which choices give them the most value for free. They mostly operate how smaller companies do bu

Who cares about LoC? Its a metric that hasn't mattered since we measured productivity in it in the 1980s. For all we know they made these design choices so they could more easily reuse the code in other codebases. Ideally you'd bu

Yeah, but what happens when you drop your laptop on the ground and it breaks? Good look recovering data without having to pay a recovery firm a $1000.

Much like anything else your performance is going to vary a lot based on architecture of implementation. You really shouldn't deploying anything into production without some kind of caching. Whether that's done in the application

Has anyone else considered that producing code faster isn't necessarily a good thing? There's a lot that goes into getting a solution correct that has nothing to do with programming. Just because you can scale code production does

Giving an audience something they never asked for is very easy when you don't have much experience interacting with them. That's where a lot of would be entrepreneurs and creators alike stumble. They forget (or don't know to)

The problem with bouncing ideas off of AI is that you still need to know enough to know when something is likely a hallucination. Because unless you're double-checking it with some kind of regular cadence you're probably accepting

You do know we're hemorrhaging and lot of finite resources to play these games badly, right? We're basically at laying on chaise lounge being fed grapes levels of hedonism. Make me a racist meme that copyright infringes multiple I

So if I write a honey pot that includes my bank account and routing number and requests a modest some of $500 be wired to me in exchange for scraping my linkedin, github, website, etc. profile is it a crime if the agent does it?

That's still writing new code. Also, its kind of an extremely bad idea to do that because how are you going to test it? If you have to rewrite anything (hint: you probably don't) its best to do it incrementally over time because o

Hopefully they have a test suite written by QA otherwise they're for sure going to have a buggy mess on their hands. People need to learn that if you must rewrite something (often you don't actually need to) then an incremental ap

There's a reason why nonprofits have fundraising events throughout the year instead once. Keep engagement going with donors is important.

When I had an interview at Apple I asked them why they were using PHP, and what it boiled down to was momentum. They team was able rapidly satisfy requests and could navigate the codebase easily so they had no reason to rewrite it. Which am

If you actually cared so much about victims of fraud you wouldn't be mad about a fraudster getting caught. You'd care about all the victims, not just the ones who were victimized by Somalis.

The benefit of having a team of QA engineers create tests is their differing perspectives, so with LLMs being trained to act like affirmation engines you have to wonder how that impacts the test cases it creates. Its the problem of LLMs be

Those echoes have grown louder over the past year or so. The only way you've heard less of it is if you buried your head under sand.

Sounds like an antipattern being rebranded as a solution. I shouldn't have to precisely instruct AI on how to solve every problem. I should be able to give it requirements and with its vast knowledge it should be able to understand var

Honestly, I am inclined to think a lot of the people who are wowed by benchmarks and simple tech demos probably aren't doing very much at their day job and if they're either working on simple codebases or ones that don't have

I don't think its that surprising. Bash is old as dirt and scripts by definition are meant to be simple. Where AI struggles is when you add complexity like object-oriented design. That's when the effect of it trying to solve every
