    “Better”, maybe or maybe not. But there’s an underlying truth here. If you’ve ever LOOKED at the open source libs you use, some of them are very very rough. Going in to a project h…

    The change is exponential and happening daily. The future is smaller teams spending a lot of money on AI credits.

    It’s a new form of development. The thing that the author didn’t state is that to work the code base at all, you must also use these tools and workflows. Manual edits literally are…

    Is this an AI response?

    This is so obviously incorrect that I have to wonder if it was an AI response.

    There’s an app on the App Store that only has the purpose of YouTube without ads. Can’t get more layman.

    There are currently multiple trivial ways for a layman to block all YouTube ads.

    Residential proxies won’t get flagged and are easy to obtain, if expensive.

    It seems clear that it was a money spending machine, not a money printing machine.

    I’ve 100%’d Balatro and wheel of fortune is quite strong. It’s never worth taking before you’re at max interest though.

    Business bros will not pay high salaries to maintain software. Software maintenance will always end in India with developers making $20/hr. Or less. AI makes it look like these dev…

    Expulsions don’t happen. International students have been cheating rampantly for decades. Universities are happy enough to collect their tuition.

    Interviews have the same issues. But if you do anything more than read off templated questions like a robot, you can be accused of discrimination. It is a sad world we live in.

    In the modern era, you are purchasing a diploma. I witnessed dozens of students blatantly cheat without any consequence. We all got the same degree. Colleges exist to collect tuiti…

    Google has no actual content left to find. It’s AI spam website after AI spam website. And if you find any content, it’s on a website riddled with ads. AI search has none of these …

    Diet is the food you eat. If you change the food you eat, you’ve changed your diet. Any attempt at a temporary food change is already a failure for long term health.

    I suspect that CVE inflation has poisoned the minds of many developers. A db driver may have an issue with unsanitized user input when run against SQLite, but you only use it with …

    The unintended side effect of this is that HR coaches you to be as vague as possible in responses. I can’t give real feedback because some feedback may seem dissimilar to other fee…
