I got my first dev job by moving laterally within a company from customer support. Helpdesk aka “Helldesk” was a common pipeline for people. I don’t think those jobs are easy to get either now.

We hired one junior out of maybe 10 hires. I don’t really know where to slot them in currently, as they lack the background knowledge of what is good or bad from AI. It’s a shame because years ago, I would have hired them and pointed them a

Edot, we have footage of you stealing a car at gunpoint, then you getting out and breakdancing while turning into an elephant. Any explanation or straight to jail?

Removing someone from the Ruby project for a political belief is oh so Ruby. Opinionated language for highly opinionated people

Slight problem with step “buy my own land”. Your working 2 blue collar jobs and paying rent are incompatible with this plan.

This is the part you should be highlighting aggressively. That’s very uncomfortable

Yeah but the Haredi will outbreed the rational liberals of Israel and vote towards extremism. If there was a Muslim country with as much power as Israel attacking other countries, it would equally be right to call it out.

I agree with you generally but a lot of professions that are well-paid and educated still have high rates. Dentists, for example, are 2x the general population

“Mythos 5 also hid a prompt injection inside an HTML comment in a GitHub issue. The instruction was invisible on the rendered page but available to coding agents reading the issue through an API. It addressed Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor

v.s. politicking forever, enslaving grad students and making only a passable salary? Not to mention being incentivized to lie, cheat and steal when publishing in order to maintain your position? Academia as we know it has been dead for a wh

I followed very loosely and still got it. Very cool, the kind of math that gets close to feeling like "real life". I was really hoping that your mentions of "solving it by hand" and "you can prove it to yourself b

Original comment assumes the size of my hands is not 50m^2. Very presumptuous.

Any other devs thinking about how much pain DST caused them and how we now have to go through the equal pain of unfixing DST? For the record, I support this legislation, but here’s to another week of messing with time.

I need a trackball in my life. I am a glove80 user and love the keyboard but god damn do I tire of moving to my ball mouse when I need to. All of the pointer/trackball mods for the glove80 are janky at best. Help! I want to be proven w

I’ve never felt this way and generally avoid partisan media. Can you give an example?

This is news to me and interesting re: nitrogen crisis. That said, isn’t construction a very minor contributor relative to the agricultural nitrogen impact? Like, taken to an extreme, preventing construction based on this is like preventing

I got severely downvoted in the past for badmouthing GLP1s here. Then I did my research, got on them and I take it all back. These things are on par with statins in terms of potential societal impacts.

A beautiful analogy for non-technical founders creating software products with AI. There are version control systems, but who needs them when you can name your pdf `n-final-updated-6-16-final-donottouch.pdf (1)(2)`

Cursory googling led to a bunch of commercial sites calling it reef safe and they mostly reference this article: https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-981-97-3195-4 I’m not paying for access to this and can’t

Well, you could have and still can buy them shipped from other countries on sites like eBay. Shame it has to come to this in the land of the free, however.

It’s fun and games when you have the bad guys invading. It’s not so clear cut when that same technology gets used for terrorism against civilians. Indiscriminate killing by a machine should not be clapped at
