I have an opposite concern - how do you find companies that don't force devs to become prompt engineers?

You are doing it right. Publicly shaming them on HN is the only way to get a real customer service.

If we follow that logic, I believe it means that you would be quite happy in the Product Owner role, or in the role of a client who outsources the actual development activities. I wouldn't.

Yes, engineer experience/happiness is part of the equation. The company also thinks that agentic workflow will clutter the codebase.

As an engineer, the enjoyment from the process is not less important, or should I say more important, than the enjoyment from shipping a final product.

I code by hand (sigh) and copy paste some snippets once in a while from a web chat LLM. This also means every single line of such snippets gets reviewed and anaylzed. Usually, these are some arcane Win32 API usage where otherwise I'd h

Also, those "smart" TVs aren't really smart, besides that data grabbing, and are really slow. So connecting some mini PC is the way to go.

Yeah. I thought maybe someone from Gracie family joined something :)

Self-assigned moderation doesn't belong to HN. Also, considering the wide cultural background of the userbase. I have no idea what's your "gotcha" style means. Neither your explanation helps. As for the specific wording,

The point is to eliminate the birth lottery - so if you happen to be born in a bad place, moving to a better place should be just a matter of your wish.

So citizenship is yet another contract - between an individual and a society. To eliminate the unfairness of lottery, changing citizenships should be as easy as changing jobs.

The point is to have a system that does not discriminate based on lottery.
14.
by zerr 3mo ago
How is discrimination by citizenship more acceptable than e.g. discrimination by ethnicity or race? All of these are outcomes of birth lottery.

While the language is interesting, sadly, nobody is using it in the wild. Maybe due to cumbersome deployment options? The ability to produce native standalone executables would boost its usage I believe.

No, I'm talking about C++Builder specifically. They made it sub-par to Delphi.

No. While it did had cross-platform support years ago, nowadays it is Windows-only, including targets.

I wish Lazarus had support for C++ as well. Pascal/Ada's English prose syntax is a deal breaker.

by zerr 3mo ago
C++Builder as well? Any updates regarding cross-platform support?

Or just replace all of the apps? Why would a user use apps if everything (eventually) can be achieved with an AI?

Cocamidopropyl betaine is a must for me.

As a C++ (including modern) developer for more than 20 years, I had written a "template" keyword only for a handful of times. Maybe once in every 5 years on average... :) Unless you are a compiler/stdlib vendor or contributin

We often forget that our profession (computer programming) belongs to STEM. Some (like Go 1.0 :)) wish to think it is Arts & Humanities. The sooner we realize that yes, it is OK and actually expected to bear a cognitive weight of "

What most miss today is DX - Developer Experience, many (most?) devs don't want to become Prompt Engineers. Another thing is that not many can afford Fable or similar and I don't think prices will go down, since it is already heav

Funny that C89/C90 would compile this specific example just fine due to implicit function declaration feature, which was deprecated in C99.
