I let AI write unit tests, PR summaries, documentation, UIs for internal use, and some production code. I review the code that goes in production, mostly to refactor and simplify, or just to make sure the code is understandable at a glance

Today it’s AI thought leader, yesterday it was crypto hacker, before then it was big data engineer, and so on. It’s marketing. It works, otherwise people wouldn’t be doing it. Bullshitters will bullshit, especially in a business so bullshit

The same thing happened to us too. Fresh company account, banned right away. Two weeks later we get an automated email stating that our appeal was reviewed but they could do nothing about that. I can’t even begin to describe how ridiculous

The previous role of the current VP of Community for Stack Overflow was at Wikipedia. Did it work then? Will it work now? I found SO useful because I could find working answers in minutes from search results. Threaded replies are going to m

It’s either documented or it’s not. When I modify code in a way that isn’t immediately obvious by looking at the code itself plus the immediate surroundings, I write a two-or three-lines code comment. It takes me ten seconds and does a big

Yes nice but also very naive. Most developers do not have that level of ownership, nor know how their users interact with the software. Their job is precisely to complete tickets from the product manager. The product manager is the one wh

It might be a new account for privacy reasons. Folks can choose whether to believe them or not. If the company is really doomed, we’ll know soon enough.

This unfortunately resonates with my experience. I used to attend GoLab, the event held in Florence, Italy. Over time, as the event gained in popularity, speakers shifted from developers to developer advocates. Last time I attended (2023 ed

I don’t get it. Is anyone forcing you to vibe code? If you don’t like vibe coding, don’t do it. The time you save when vibe coding is offset almost 1:1 by the time you need to verify the AI’s output for all but the most trivial applications

This is all very interesting, but is complete fiction for most readers. 99% of job seekers aren’t going to receive competing offers from multiple companies conveniently at the same time.

In my experience many organisations do Agile even if they don’t call it that. Agile is just a series of sensible principles to get stuff done. The problems start when people mistake the process for the goal.

I don’t get how this “scheme” works. If I’m getting hired why am I supposed to pay them for anything?

> Where gRPC needs improvement: Let’s just get out here and say what not enough people are saying—in a nutshell, gRPC has feature creep, bloat and is trying to solve too many problems. It’s overcomplicated and has become a dumping ground

You are right. Though when hiring remote, time zones might be an obstacle.

I’m admittedly lumping candidates who don’t reply at all with those who ghost the first interview. I view it as the same kind of behavior, as they quit the process early without an apparent reason.

Yes, we use go-gin for HTTP servers and middleware (really fast and easy to use) and gRPC+Protobuf for backend services with database access. For the frontend, we have one project that renders HTML just with Go templates, but that’s kinda c

Too bad I only have one upvote. You have an excellent point, and one I’ve been mulling over for some time now without being able to put into words. I’m definitely going to give it a try at our next hiring round

We release from master (or whatever you want to call the default branch nowadays). When we’re ready to release, we push a new tag, then the CI will build a docker image with the same tag. Finally we deploy the tagged image. This implies tha
