Thank you for this comment. I had mostly shrugged off this project as “neat” but didn’t go digging until I read this. The choreography stuff is actually really cool! Definitely agr…

Lol, “user defined copy/move constructors” That’s actually so many types that would define this

Well this is a take. It’s weird how much the author fixates on Vim being “visible” and implies multiple cursors and features in Sublime aren’t. Just because your brain is trained t…

Paywalled article on something vibe-coded? That seems like a bold strategy.

Thank you, bumholes

Aside from what some other users have said, logging is fundamentally an observable side-effect of your library. It’s now a behavior that can become load-bearing — and putting it in…

You definitely are not alone in feeling this way, it’s happening everywhere now and it’s driving me nuts too. I have the same complaint at work, where coworkers are using it for wr…

I hit send too early; Meant to say that it just knows words and that’s effectively it. It’s cool technology, but the burden of proof of real intelligence shouldn’t be “can it answe…

Why “perma goodbye”? Go has a similar function declaration, and it supports anonymous functions/lambdas. E.g. in go, an anonymous func like this could be defined as foo := func(x i…

Tech interviews in general need to be overhauled, and if they were it’d be less likely that AI would be as helpful in the process to begin with (at least for LLMs in their current …

This is a good read on how to commit concepts to long-term memory and building skills. I think there is a typo in the article though; there is a point that says: > work out the pro…

The article never talked about bot-generated products, only bot generated comments and upvotes. How does manual review address this exactly?

What a strange and subjective take… I am genuinely struggling to understand the author’s viewpoint here, and why this post needed to exist at all. The author proposes that braces a…

This hasn’t been my experience at all in the slightest. Been programming since I was in elementary school, and current Copilot, OpenAI and even Gemini models generate code at a ver…

Are you from Canada, or was that just an uncanny description of Canadian healthcare?

Hey everyone, I created a C++ "`result`" monad type with functionalities and behaviours much like Swift or Rust's equivalent `Result` type. I've been working on this project for qu…
