This isn't about the first time ever though. I've been hearing the phrase "get rid of your developers" for a long time now. Let's see. SaaS is all you need, boot camp devs, no code, low code and buying-off-the-shelf

Can someone tell me if this is LLM generated content or not? I tried to look for obvious signs but didn't notice anything.

I can empathize with the commenter you're replying to. I still read for pleasure and have to read constantly for work of course. On some days, I feel like I can't. It is like exercising the same muscle every day which will lead to

For the unresolved photos issue; I am not an iOS user so not sure if there's any application to help you easily achieve that goal on that platform. But in general, you can encrypt the sensitive files themselves(either files or director

Shorter work weeks don't mean less work though. Not from the point of view of management, at least. It just means that 5 days are now compressed to 4, probably making the problem much worse and burn out much more likely. In my experien

You mean there's no excuse for cooldowns? Yeah, there is. Security consultants have for years been saying that you need to always keep your dependencies updated. This is often parroted without any context of whether a package needs to

I wonder that too. I've been on the receiving end of "it's 90% done, we just need someone to get it over the line for us" way too many times to know that there's going to be a lot of pain trying to maintain or re-wr

I've only seen pip give up twice and both times were due to bugs that were actively being worked on and the project dependencies were quite old. Perhaps that's why I am less impressed. Don't get me wrong, working faster witho

"holy sacred programmers" and writing "the same functions again and again" are two extremes. There's a point in the middle where you implement the same function twice perhaps and then on the third time feel like suc

That phrase and "Who designed this command line interface" are probably written for attention and clicks. The feedback content is useful and I agree with most of it but using such phrases diminishes the value of that feedback and

Interesting point of view and I think feedback is good. Although I agree with the overall sentiment of the article, I disagree with the intensity of the criticism. Having a command runner within your project will mask a lot of the issues th

I believe the problem was always the process that Google has where they tend to want to automate everything from the start and make it very difficult to reach a human and explain the situation. The service itself seems solid but if you make

From a youtube video I saw about it, yes they are. It was interesting how cheaply they can make it. Their margin selling them is going to be huge according to their CEO. Anyone feels like all this money spent on weapons and war would better

I'm a fan of thinkpads but I didn't much like the "AI" branding as of late. I tried to look at what it means exactly and all I could find is that nobody actually knows. I still ended up purchasing one because it was a re

Yeah, I can relate. It's a problem if you don't bother since you won't be doing your job to the best of your abilities and it's a problem if you do since you might get in trouble with the management for not being a &quot

I've got a better one. I once had the same argument mentioned to me by my manager at the time when I pointed out that passwords were being stored in clear text. That it needs to be this way so that it is read/sent when the users f

What about answering something like "I don't know but if the work can be done for hundreds on AI instead of thousands on me then I refuse to let you waste your money like that"?

Vibe coded self driving cars sounds very interesting.

I was going to say that sounds like short term gain for long term pain. But I'm guessing if there are any issues in the future, the government would just bail them out.

Interesting. I saw contractor rates dropping here too. The ones I saw recently were at pre-pandemic levels so from 6 years ago. The large increase in cost of living from that time makes it even worse. The funny part is that the skills and e

I found that sort of thinking is no longer a part of corporate culture(in AU at least). As in, investing in your staff and planning for the future. Resources are meant to be used and abused for benefit and that's it, consequences be da

What always happens. A market correction followed by going back to a reasonable state, until the next bubble of course. In my opinion, LLMs are useful for many things but not anything and everything and definitely not in the way the booster

Isn't it strange? You'd think there were some lessons learned from the 2008 crisis but apparently not. It is not that long ago to be forgotten already.

I don't have the same requirements and when I really thought about it, it turns out I need very few things and can get by without the other requirements. So for many years it's been orgmode in emacs. Not exactly a wiki, but you ca

I had a business owner tell me that they don't need to hire juniors anymore because claude can do all of that work for them. This was not a software shop so it's not even about writing code but I also thought that was something th

Maybe consent is not an appropriate term. Perhaps an acknowledgement and a way to say "I don't want this" would be a more suitable approach. I feel like a flag to turn off LLMs is useful. Firefox added something like this in

I am not sure how you jumped from what I said to this. I don't believe I claimed that every project and business methodology is bad. I can only speak from my experience and am not confident enough to say how every project and business

And if a tool is that difficult to use, how can you tell if the problem is in the tool or the user? There's a large industry built around doing training and certifications in agile methodologies now. If a tool is that difficult to get

What makes you say that it has been extremely successful? And when you say doesn't fail anymore, do you mean it doesn't go over budget and/or changes scope?
