It's not even about the degree. Fresh computer science graduates already know how to code but can't do the senior developer stuff. https://www.nair.sh/guides-and-opinions/communica…

There were no comments. If there were comments for each conditional, it should still be refactored as return a || b // comment 1 || c // comment 2 // long comment 3 // on multiple …

Nonprofit organizations are not the same as companies.

ICE arrests U.S. citizens, which is bad. https://news.bloomberglaw.com/us-law-week/ice-apprehension-o...

The decline of the US government is the faster than "Europe", because it's been declining rapidly in a few months. The US government currently has a monthly quota for ICE arrests. …

In layman's terms, it's the age of monopolies and oligopolies. We don't have enough market competition. Perhaps large corporations successfully lobby the government the pass laws t…

Why would the Chinese government want to regularly launch cyber attacks against US infrastructure, except it's been happening for years? US security companies and governments have …

Neural network research and development existed since the 1980s at least, so at least 40 years. One of the bottlenecks before was not enough compute.

I've been doing API development for over ten years and worked at different companies. Most PMs are not technical and it's the development team's job figure out the technical specif…

My company mandates AI usage and logs AI usage metrics as input to performance evaluation, so I use it every day. It's a Copilot subscription, though.

PMs wouldn't be able to ask the right questions. They have zero experience with developer experience (DevEx) and they only have experience with user experience (UX).

I believe they are arguing against vibe-coding categorically by pointing out that high-level programming languages are for human expression. It's a reductio ad absurdum against the…

Software development jobs must be very diverse if even this anti-vibe-coding guy thinks AI coding definitely makes developers more productive. In my work, the bigger bottleneck to …

All the models are pre-trained on the same one Internet.

It's not an argument by analogy. It's a reductio ad absurdum on the generalization that reality always lies in the middle but not always at the exact middle.

Flat-earthers: The earth is flat. Round-earthers: The earth is round. "Reality lies in the middle" argument: The earth is oblong, not a perfect sphere, so both sides were right.

Yes, they're amazingly good given they didn't have copies of the original posters, Internet access to get reference images, or even VCRs at home to play the movies themselves. The …

You think when ICE arrested over 300 South Korean citizens who were setting up a Georgia Hyundai plant and subjected them to alleged human rights abuses, it was only a perceived sl…
