I wish more people read the CORS article on MDN[1] which helped me a lot at the time when I was trying to understand it. I knew some people had trouble with CORS but had no idea it was this bad, going by the comments here. [1] https:/

All the package managers that provide shell wrappers kinda tend to be bad at this, unless they use their own command to wrap over project specifications, like uv. These days, I've been personally relying more on direnv to automatically

The problem is what "enthusiasts" want is typically opposed to what is needed at the time to improve the product, such as: * Wanting niche features that don't benefit other people than those in the enthusiast core, thus preve

At my previous job, the most productive time was when I was serving my notice after resignation, I got 6 months worth of work done in two. Without all the status updating meetings, "quick questions", overtime due to incidents, and

TBH I don't get the narrative there either. Earlier it was about how regular people can now build many types of software for themselves (and btw, I agree with this), but somehow the narrative has shifted to something like "regular

It can be worse; they randomly block my uptime monitoring with 4xx and 5xx status codes once in two months or something like that, despite nothing changing.

It is surprising to me American companies completely absent from the open model space, even though we have historically seen companies doing open source.

I wonder what happened with the heading, it was okay before, and then was mutilated since.

This game should just give us a pen tool to draw the line instead of whatever that drawing tool is.

I read through it and that’s not the impression I got, it was a thought experiment and not much more. However, a few companies do have a co-working day, where you work with various people on the team to solve a business problem. I wonder if

It's kinda hilarious that on an article about said "dickovers", the page has one of these consuming 80% of the screen real estate: https://files.catbox.moe/ztjg15.png

Well, even until a few months ago, Dario and Sam were selling this vision to CEOs that they can perform complete workforce replacement. If that really comes to fruition, and they seem hellbent on doing that, I don't see why you can&#x2

A more charitable explanation here is that every manager is incentivised to lead large projects with lots of people on them, which is how they get promoted, and can ensure that their team has promotion and expansion budgets.

Personally, all I've seen is marketers not getting the message and using it to perform A/B testing to come up with the basest ad they could possibly come up with to entrap more users.

Something might come of introspecting why such controls are being built and desired by consumers instead of trying to frame everything as a "big tech evil!!1" narrative.

If the interviewer was fishing around for information for when I start work or if I have kids, the only thing that'd come to mind is whether they're trying to frame me as a slacker to disqualify me from the interview process. Mayb

I've had an interview like this in the past. At the time, I chalked it up to a power trip and the indignant behavior that comes along with it, as it is especially embedded in the culture of the country that I'm based out of. Havin

Realistically, I've only seen evidence about AI taking people's jobs, as is the case with LLMs, and in the case of robotics, killing people. Augmentation has always been something that gets talked about in research labs but I&#x27
