The problem is that not just the company, but the whole software development world seems to me overwhelmed with such people.

It seems to me that everybody forgot that LLMs hallucinate all the time.

That’s just anecdote, just like mine. Even simple lack of experience or lack of skills can cause that (which were definitely in my case). Also, I’m quite sure that a terrific coder can create maintainable code faster than an average one bad

Is there any metrics which proves that making maintainable code is slower? Because in my experience there is no difference.

It depends on the household, and not exactly on the country and culture. However, those definitely affect prevalence. For example, I like to hold parties during which we cook together. But I have several relatives and friends who already pr

Maybe you’re right. I hardly disagree, but those are just opinions. The main culprit is that the backend is Java EE, and they used a single form for multiple things. This is a 20+ years old software, so they had to used request parameters a

My job is exactly to fix code which was not understood by its creators. And this “I have no idea why, but it works” (until it doesn’t) is the main cause of most of the problems which I work on. For example, at my current company the develop

So the parent commenter tried to tell you, that they (and I too) heard this story from junior and bad programmers in the past 20 years all the time, and they didn’t use LLMs. It doesn’t matter whether you use generative AIs or not, it’s a b

I thought that we had some new hard evidence, or revelation. So does this mean we still don’t know, or is there a considerable skew to one side in the statistical meaning, like in the case of eating red meat, or climate change, but as with

I lost track of COVID research in the past two years. Can you please provide me some good articles about bad transmission effectiveness? I’ve seen this mentioned many times here, but my search seems contradict to that: https://ww

Both have issues. iMessage has problems with interoperability, RCS has problems with requirement of operator support.

I don’t know what you talk about, because both can talk to whatever they want, because both support SMS.

I like that you put Google’s solution into apostrophes, while Apple’s current solution has the same problem, and even more. But I’m glad that we agree.

As I became senior, I realised that you always have that alternative course. It’s definitely a skill to avoid technical debt, even when you don’t have the knowledge at a given time. For example, if you code something in Spring and it seems

In the thread to which you replied, somebody mentioned that it’s possible to do that on top RCS, and Google already did it. If Apple wants to make their own encryption they can do it, nothing stops them. Interoperability would still be bett

I meant that this happened in the past 10 years. “Liberal” wasn’t associated almost solely to “left”. It was generally accepted. This “classical liberal” euphemism, in its current meaning, is also kinda new, and almost everybody who uses th

What does reputability do with science? After 1915, it’s pseudoscience, regardless of who says it.

Pseudoscience like eugenics is just feelings packaged as science.

So at the end, was that shown at least in this experiment that generally it’s enough to tell people that they should act as a tyrant and they would do as that?

If you’re on any social media, then you see ads. If you use any search engine, then you see ads. There are ads even on Wikipedia. You can see them even if you use all of the adblockers.

It’s really not that decentralised anymore. I don’t have anything fancy, I just use a custom domain. About every fifth site can’t send email to it. I’ve heard that if you have your own server, it’s even worse, to the point that you need to

Why you need fixed-size strings? Btw I don’t know how this works in most languages, but circular references can be still a problem even with these restrictions. (If I remember well dangling references can be more or less handled, but correc

You can get a phone number in almost every country relatively cheaply. I used one of such service (I think it was Numero or something) to order from CVS because I live in Europe and they need an American phone number (and American bank card
