Not really. No matter what enterprise dev I talked to their product is completely unsaveable. Too big for a rewrite and basically a Frankenstein monolith/microservice done wrong architecture. It's really painful to see how bad som

Doing it professionally destroyed all the magic for me. Everything is slop, customer appointments are exhausting af, nobody is able to precisely communicate their needs and im supposed to be the people pleaser saying "sure can do"

Web applications have become too big and heavy. Corps want to control everything. A simple example would be a simple note taking app which apparently also has to sync throughout devices. They are going to store every note you take on their

We have 1 big customer with a yearly license of our product and some sprinkled around without license. Not growing quickly thankfully.

Is it completely client side? Why does it have a 2 billion row limit? Where are the limitations coming from?

Just tech things. This place isn't different from Stack Overflow attitude wise.

We still barely know how LLMs really work. Hard to tune things you dont understand. Inbefore people telling me "akshually we know all about bla bla bla..." no we dont.

So that's an excuse for AI getting it wrong? It should know better if its so much better.

Same as pretending that vibe coding isn't producing tons of slop. "Just improve your prompt bro" doesn't work for most real codebases. The recent TEA app leak is a good example of vibe coding gone wrong, I wish I had as

Yea makes sense, its also a total normal thing to use packages from people who are way more versed in a specific problem you are trying to solve. Just takes away the whole magic of building things for me.

Don't tell this vibe coders without years of actual experience

That people in the industry barely code, its just stitching together 3rd party dependencies.

Why does everything have to be productive? "Hey live a life you arent comfortable with so you fit better into society! :("

I dont use AI for social interaction, I'd feel like a loser if I did that. But I also have a lot of trust issues with regular humans as I got disappointed over and over again. Didn't try to connect with people for over 10 years no

These "ill-advised beliefs" are extremely valid beliefs. Most humans are just ignorant and human history has shown that plenty of times. I admire people blind enough to see the good in humanity

A lot of people are simply insufferable so I dont even try to make new friends. I've got a relatively big circle of old time friends and I'll keep it at that. Im a lot younger than you but I cant deal with TikTok brains same goes

Yea apprenticeship certification is what I have (Germany). It's a lot different from other countries apprenticeships and shows ppl "Hey that dude worked this job for 3 years". College degree should also work as you usually ga

Not if you went through 100 of these unnecessary interview processes solely due to small companies copying big tech where half of their dev team couldn't complete their hiring process.

Was for Europe, I am sure its easier in less regulated countries.

Yea, and why doesn't this work in software in your opinion?

If they try hard for 6 months during probation, then congrats on having a motivated dev for 6 months. If they fall off hard after, kick them out. It's only 3 months of salary. Compare that to thesalary and hiring process of finding a g

Fizzbuzz would be completely fine. Companies out there ask devs to solve highly niche cryptic tasks like the knapsack problem for no reason.

You can. Lots of European countries have a 6 month trial period in which you can just lay off without providing a reason for it. Im sure in the US its even more strict.

How did u get to this conclusion?

A brick layer isn't asked to build a wall prior to getting a job. A certificate confirming he did learn the job is enough for companies to employ them. Same goes for a lot of other jobs. Just hire devs and kick them out if they dont fi
