Who cares? Those who measure actual impact instead of showing off. Focus on what matters is my only advice. Hint: it’s not your editor.

Developer productivity is not and never was bottlenecked by their tools. One snap of the fingers in one of the many layers above us and million dollar projects succeed or fail. We …

It’s sad to not last forever? That’s an interesting thought. I understand, don’t get me wrong, but it’s completely unnatural in so many ways.

Always refuse them, close to zero problems. I can’t think of a technical reason a website without auth needs cookies to function.

This anti-learning attitude is common, but I don’t find it admirable. To me this is like a dev saying “screw Git, I just want to do console.log(). All this complexity is sabotaging…

Businesses are some kind of feudal leftovers that refuse to die. The serfs not only accept it, they actively defend it. Meanwhile the billionaires lean back and smile. I don’t see …

As always, tech people think tech is the important part of tech.

Yes and doing that requires a solid non-stop and consistent 3 working LoC per minute for six hours straight. I don’t think a human is capable of processing that kind of volume unle…

There is something off here. - 1000+ applications, 2 interviews. Holy batman. That’s what, 4+ applications a (work)day for a year straight? How do you even find these positions. - …

Charity? I sympathize somewhat, but I’m also disgusted by the utter lack of respect for government and societal service in general. That shit means something. I wish to believe the…

Capitalism is a brutal, fatally flawed system that just so happens to work pretty well depending on which side of the game you are on. Sometimes, everybody sort of gets by on it, b…

I’d be interested in a practical definition of logic truly separated from design in the context of web tech. The two are so ridiculously intertwined. It’s already a problem within …

That’s cool, but I meant to imply it is kind of backwards to make a NOT gate with a component that itself is fundamentally built out of a NOT gate.

Where do you think the N in NOR and NAND come from?

> Or perhaps developers were never the bottleneck. Now that's dangerous thinking, but I think you are onto something.

> We aren't seeing higher overall levels of productivity. > We aren't seeing the developers who start using copilot/gpt rush ahead of their peers. You think we are antsy worker bee…

Look, if I have to give up my shit to get where I want I’ll damn well make sure you will too . If there is anything I hate more than following arbitrary rules it’s dealing with peo…

You have kids that want to snuggle? I wonder what that’s like.

I don’t understand what these two completely orthogonal concepts do together. I’m this though. I’m a raging introvert and I am married. But no, I am not loyal to my wife because my…

I tend to call these things “distributed monoliths” assuming the camera, ML and laser driver are integral to the functionality of the system. There is no hard rule that I know of b…

Sure, we use a couple of Hanks for that. Sherley and Melinda will catch the bullets just fine.

So with suitable technology we should have our womens’ armies ready to march in no time. Can’t wait. Gender neutrality is a worthy and lofty goal. I hear they are better communicat…

I agree, such blatant discrimination. I fully expect the feminist garde to be on the streets protesting this awful move.

This is the only thing they can do. They don’t produce anything. They buy. Their AI is a joke and all they earn money on is ads. MS is beating them on the AI front, hard, and they …

I have no ADHD but my wife, I know.., keeps me in check in ways I was unable to myself. It's not that she hates what I'm doing or nags about it, it's just that she'll ask the hard …
