Should have been at least 6 mln for each, and 15+ years of max security jail for those who abuse power, including those who "just followed orders".

When it comes to the mass adoption of software development tools, I believe the proven formula is: Make all of the SDK/libraries/command-line tools permissive (e.g. MIT) open source licensed; Charge for a complex visual/RAD U

Nice! What's the UI toolkit?

I'd think the opposite though, with nowadays "AI"/LLMs - retrieving a domain/specialist knowledge became easier, while general software development is still unsolved. E.g. you can use LLMs for generating many well-k

Raku (Perl 6) is interesting as well. I have a feeling that nobody (of significant size) adopted it in production.

Wasn't Peter Norvig one of the key people behind Google Search? Would it be correct to say that scientists did the research, maybe reference implementations in Lisp or Python, and later Jeff Dean did the actual C++ production?

Does the Beckham Law apply as well?

Ask HN: Did the number of Ask HN posts decline as well due to LLMs?

Most of the usage was/is as a local ACID-compliant replacement for txt/ini/custom local/bundled files though.

As a customer, I don't want to pay for vibe-coded products, because authors also don't have a time (and/or skills) to properly review, debug and fix products.

The choice should be free though - everyone should be able to opt out. Restricting people to leave the country is a major red flag that something is going in the wrong direction.

"Part-time" is the keyword you are looking for. Besides coding, if you want to get into bullshit jobs, become an agile coach, scrum master, product owner, etc...

And here I am partying (coding) like it's 90s (C++ desktop apps) and web never happened... :)

The thing is, being an excellent programmer has nothing to do with leetcode and sysdesign (which is actually a back-end CRUD systems) questionnaire.

I don't think he would pass FANG interviews or enjoy their day-to-day grind. The whole point of such prolific programmers is to code whenever you feel like, not by some arbitrary deadlines. Not to mention the tolerance of office politi

The irony is that symbol-based concise code is much easier to read and comprehend compared to blobs of text. Even replacing Do/Begin/End-s with curly braces would help a lot.

I wish it had a C-like symbolic syntax as opposed to the prose-like one. I believe it would have been adopted more widely.

B2B contracting solves all of the problems, especially for cross-country collaboration.

Would be interesting to hear about demographic stats of your clientele. The fact that Flutter is only mentioned in your posts here, underlines its state of adoption in "western" communities, at least in the HN bubble.

Why did they cancel the Android alternative of this course?

by zerr 10mo ago
I believe the reason is that many still use CP for hiring, so people go into leetcode (or AdventOfCode) grind, sadly.

Would interesting to hear about J2ME gold rush. Any success (or fail) stories?
