i'll never understand the point of information like this aside from the desire to paint someone in a bad light because of some narrative. i even made sure to go to the science section of theguardian and searched for spacex, because i t

wow i saw a really stupid take just earlier today on an unrelated thread, but this one actually wins. great job!!

Is that actually true? I remember Copilot-X being containing the GPT4 version and I'm pretty sure that wasn't out back in April. I don't even think it was out this summer

unrelated to the broader tree discussion, but i find this comment incredibly indicative of the type of forum this is. only with engineers do you have to state your point and enumerate through all edge cases around how your idea can be inter

i won't speak on behalf of my company, but as someone who was on dating apps for a while until i found my current fiancee, I will say that a lot of it is a numbers game. also, the company i work for is focused on more serious relations

i work at a dating app and number of fun dates (worded slightly differently) is our north star metric! it's one of the major ones, and it has helped it stay relatively non predatory :)

that's sad. a yearning musician should be able to learn and play whatever they want and whatever makes them feel a certain thing. moonlight sonata evokes something in me i can't explain (which is probably why it's a legendary

a manager that truly relies on story points as a direct metric of productivity wouldn't be reading blogs like this in the first place to make themselves better. the article is preaching to the choir of engineers and at a minimum half w

to be fair, it's e-commerce. an MVP of a _working_ e-commerce site still needs a shitton of functionality (cart management, product management, sku management, backend data, tax calculations, etc etc). i'm not surprised at all tha

i recommend offering a 6mo-1year plan. I can use my company's L&D budget on this, but if I do a monthly plan, I have to create a new expense report with a spend authorization every month which is painful (and I simply won't).
