Right? Lawyers can get into deep shit if they misrepresent their ability to well, represent a client on a case outside of their area of competence. How are medical professionals th…

The problem that exists is that you cannot just willy nilly try out entirely different desktop envs/window managers/audio frameworks on an existing install of any other distro and …

> What this meant was that instead of leaving nitpicky comments, people would just change things that were nitpicky but clear improvements. They'd only leave comments (which blocke…

I would settle for accurate estimates being a requirement if sticking to the estimate and allocations is as well. Every project I've been a part of that has run over on timeline or…

Only have issues with it on my machine with an Nvidia card. Understand that it can be unstable and accept that when it happens - but with AMD/integrated graphics I don't have the s…

I get ~weekly crashes using an Nvidia card with arch/hyprland, but honestly it's less problematic for me to deal with than windows updates. I can format and rebuild my machine from…

Sure, if the warning levels are poorly tuned I might configure my LSP to ignore everything and loosen the enforcement in the build steps until I'm ready to self review. Something I…

It just feels obstinate to me. Most people will jump through all sort of bureaucratic/performative hoops when they're in a job to keep it or angle for promotions/minor raises, but …

> just Or you can just learn a handful of puzzle patterns in exchange for more job opportunities that would have the potential for higher overall pay. Seems like a fair trade to me…

I'm a fan of writing tests that can be either. Write your tests first such that the real dependencies can be run against. Snapshot the results to feed into integration test mocks f…

Why do users insist on using tools that can get them fired? This is either a policy or culture problem, not an AI problem. Hell, just make a macro to replace all the funny anachron…

Coupled with weeks if not more of regularly scheduled sleep deprivation so you never actually recover from any of those hard days.

Same. I have a tmux-sessionizer like script that when I open a new tmux session for a project will automatically build out all the standard windows and pane setup for the type of p…

Something missing is the confidence that comes from being perceived that way as well. You're a high performer at a high prestige/competitive school - you're going to feel more like…

The ones that get me are the billboard barges on Miami Beach. Like at least biplane banners have some charm.

To me the point of the saying is more that the assumptions and environment that the software was written with are almost always going to change. Meaning the business and requiremen…

> As this relates to software, I think it goes something like: you learn the magic incantation to make the computer do what you want (solving a hard task becomes habit), then you l…

The number of replies I cut & paste to my notes archive far exceeds the amount of posts I actually make. I still find it valuable to work through my own thoughts to better prepare …

This was very much taught in some of the business school electives I took. Some of the projects are quite literally to give a realistic pitch for products or businesses that you ne…

My hot take is that I personally feel 'flow' is already dangerously close to vibe coding, so I'm not surprised that vibe coding is seemingly taking off like it is. If you need to b…

There's another more thorough version from the same author, for what it's worth. Just moved on from that company but the overall points are the same https://diataxis.fr/
