    (10+ years of experience here) I will be starting training for commercial pilot license next year. The pay is much less than one of a software engineer but I think this job is alre…

    Dotnet is also very good for building web apps, it also includes static typing and a huge ecosystem. I agree that web dev is basically a solved problem, I don’t know why stuff like…

    Rider is great for front end development too! I have used it for angular and react and have had 0 complaints, it works great and the best is that I do not need to switch IDEs anymo…

    You are right, except on the part about tweaking the prompt to get your desired code styling. The easier way to integrate into an existing code base is just to refactor the code yo…

    wouldn't this be the perfect use case for the hybrid watches? I am looking forward to buy a Kronaby for next year.

    True. I remember I used this back in the day when I was a pro online poker player. I would like to try again in Software, maybe to kickstart an indie project ... food for thought. …

    Is Aspire/Dapr comparable to something like ABP Framework? Or are they completely different things?

    Being able to use generic hotswappable code monkeys would be the wet dream of corporate executives. Imagine being able to scale or shrink your dev work force on demand, as if we we…

    I completely agree with you, in the context of C# code. But also take into account not everybody in HN is a C# developer, and OP syntax works better as an example of his point. All…

    I suppose it was part of the "joke", but YOUR answer is the one written in ChatGPT style, not OP. I was thinking that maybe in the near future it will be "better" to write with a c…

    Completely agree here. Memorization is actually quite important. Try learning Spanish from scratch with a "bad memory" and let me know how it goes.
