You are a better developer than me, then. I take it you have tests in your product repos that test your compiler behaviour, including optimisations that you enable while building binaries, and all third party dependencies you use. Is that a

Ok, but you can still test all the branches in your source code and have 100% coverage. Those additional `if` branches are added by the compiler. You are responsible for testing the code you write, not the one that actually runs. Your compi

> We'll have to agree to disagree Fair enough. But don't you think giving a junior a handbook you wrote is mentoring? They may not be able to memorise it, but they now have a handbook that they can look up things.

Fair point, but how does the appeal process work today? Even if the company stores someone else's ID in JPEG format, and the customer service claims that the photo on that ID looks very similar to my photo, is it sufficient proof? Shou

Face hashing is different than generic image hashing. Methods like dividing the photo into smaller rectangles and storing the average colour for each rectangle won't work. It should be able to detect and hash facial features so that it

0.01% of 65M is 6,500. Also apparently only 70K people uploaded their IDs. That being said, you can still hash faces and metadata (such as ID numbers) instead of storing the whole ID as a scanned photo, if the information is only used for d

There are image processing methods for hashing people's faces. They don't have to store the actual photo to do that.

No, I don't think they will always be junior developers. Obviously there will be a day that they will surpass humans. However, the progress doesn't look linear with the current technology, and I don't expect to see the same b

by selcuka 1y ago
Don't worry, it's probably only the impostor syndrome. Your development skills are still relevant. Think of agents as junior developers that assist you in coding tasks, whom you constantly need to mentor, review, and correct.

I don't find this surprising. We are constantly finding workarounds for technical limitations, then ditch them when the limitation no longer exists. We will probably be saying the same thing for LLMs in a few years (when a new machine
