Not at all. There's an extremely loud online contingent that has developed a distaste for it. Mostly game developers who were badly bitten by some of the nastier parts of it in the late 90s. There's good reasoning behind some o

If you hire using LeetCode, you will surround yourself with people who enjoy blogging about LeetCode in their free time. LeetCode was never about LeetCode, it was always a stand in for culture. It's now a signal for baseline compliance

The internet underground in the late 90s/early 2000s was absolutely full of Australians. I feel like I hardly encounter them anymore, for some reason.

New internets have been formed, and the same stuff you knew and loved about earlier internets are present there. But it feels smaller & lonelier - because you've become accustomed to the firehose. You'll have to go through a

> In Germany, signing a FTE contract also entails implicitly that, if I produce something over the weekends, my employer has legal power to claim it as their IP. What gave you that idea? In fact, I was under the impression that Germany h

The Pokemon Snap one brings me back to when I was a kid. They had these Pokemon Snap machines, and you used to be able to take your memory card to the local mall and use them to print out stickers from the photos you took in game. Those &

As someone running about to start a SaaS, this is scary. Can you comment on if you've tried alternative payment providers/gateways?

The first example looks pretty unique for an art style. I'd love to see this done on the fly, so that each building is unique during game play. Also, I think the buildings would look better if you give it some context of the ground su

My general understanding is that Zig was made to make video games and Rust was made to make system software, and everything falls out from there.

I've found that it's the other way around, Europeans want to call Americans refugees because they themselves use it as an insult. If I started introducing myself as a refugee/migrant worker at my tech job, people would think

This and things like FocusMate seem symptomatic of much larger, more serious latent problems. It reminds of the younger generations having to put YouTube on to eat a meal. I can't quite put my finger on the connection, but paying a p

It's not about "genius". It gets just enough wrong (like, completely wrong) that it's untrustworthy. It's really good if you're already familiar with the content, though (or you know its weak spots).

It's also useful for translating with specific instructions. I've replaced DeepL with it for German because I'm able to provide specific context, e.g "Write a friendly letter to the Ausländerbehörde asking about my X ap

Just to update my comment so that readers don't get the wrong idea: I went back and tested it again today. It's a lot faster than when I tried it. I still have things like "Fetching user count..." for groups that never
