Interestingly, I pasted one of the trap questions into Claude and it told me the question doesn't make any sense. It might take a few bogus questions to expose the AI. Edit: This is only to say I find Claude's ironic response humo

In 1992, I went from Amiga to a PC solely because of Wolfenstein 3D. I already felt like I was clinging to the Amiga platform. Most of my other friends in the Amiga world had moved on to other platforms. Doom came out about a year later, ne

I was skeptical about this, but a quick search for “the usual suspects” pulls up many, many examples for me.

We had a case where it took 10 years to cut 3 FTE deadweights and it only happened because of the 2008 Crash and consequential tightening of money flow.

Didn't Satya or somebody state in recent months that it was a tactic to get rid of low performers? I believe Meta is doing something similar. Edit: Allegedly not. https://www.financialexpress.com/life/technology-mi

Just keep in mind you're likely to get a lot of harsh criticism in the mix. That's just how HN is. So take it in stride and don't let it make you quit.

Good point about the notifications. That's a pain point of mine: remembering to do a stack throughout a busy day.

I can’t count the number of times my notes have saved me or my team some serious grief. I don’t have to keep everything in my head. I can offload my brain into notes. Godspeed, but there’s no way I’d give any of that up.

Yeah. Probably unwise of me. On hiatus right now due to injuries, though.

Point noted. Thanks. The JS world seems to shy away from full stack, for some reason.

In my area, you can hook up with IBEW, the electrician's union and they'll essentially bootstrap you. There's some strings attached, but it's not too long of a commitment. YMMV.

Do it (if you want to). You wouldn't literally be the oldest. My old IT manager retired in his 60s and did this (and is now a working, signing electrician). It even sounds like he kinda got some automatic seniority of sorts, due to his

Get married and have children. You'll have an effective afterlife (kids) to fight off that existential dread, and you'll be too busy to be thinking such futile thoughts. It did for me, anyway.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who had a similar disagreement with the article. I try to frame it in my head that people aren't generally stupid, but that we do a lot of stupid things. Or we don't do things (eg. read, o

“Equivalent to Rails” is a nebulous term, but given your examples, I’d offer these as JS equivalents of Rails: - SvelteKit - RedwoodJS - Wasp There are more options but I think they’d cause more “well, actually” comments than I could bear.

I do some Rails work and I’ve found that Ruby and Rails are one of generative AIs weaker languages. I usually get pretty shoddy output[1]. I generally don’t use AI during Rails stuff, other than as a hint for a Google search or a docs looku

This was initially my hunch, but after using the betas quite a bit, I changed my mind. The pre-WWDC rumors suggested that iOS and macOS would be refreshed with inspiration from "Apple Vision Pro." However, after using the interfac
