> it's not as if they were going to hire anyone to do it So many of the comments here seem to be glancing over this point entirely!

Speaking of MS and source control, I have to shout out this incredibly niche channel [1] that recently covered "Microsoft Delta", a precursor and home grown effort that was eventua…

Some of this has been mentioned so far but from my side I'd say the 5 minute timer yet very complex scenario is something that sets the "candidate" up to fail immediately, certainl…

This could actually be a useful tool - I regularly do loops of "critique this design" via AI and find it immensely useful, but you're being disingenuous if you're serious that you …

In these situations I will frame my contributions directly without the "we" part, speaking to how I contributed to a particular team output, or if it was 100%, I'll just say as muc…

I've always used "we" when describing and presenting work done as part of a team, even if solo. There's a certain skill in knowing when to promote yourself, and how you do so. Thes…

It's not an answer to this, but tangentially related as we had a similar conversation at work very recently. Not many people know about Google and Apple's inactive account manager …

I really loved how easy MacOS made these (option+hypen for en, with shift for em), so I used to use them all the time. I'm a bit miffed by good typography now being an AI smell.

> a lot of people in tech got the impression we'd be endlessly hireable, able to hop between 6 figure jobs and raises for our entire career before early retirement I've found peopl…

That whole last section read like the constant dross I see posted on Linkedin. I find it hard to take anyone seriously that writes like that.

I really love the "Swiss Cheese model" for showing this in a very explicit way, it's easy to see how the most improbably thing could happen. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swiss_che…

> 2 hours commute daily? This seems crazy. This is the norm in many places of the world. I live in London and am lucky to only need to take one tube train into the office. It's sti…

It's a very different world when you are a single person operation versus a multi-thousand consultancy though. I was being billed out at crazy rates that the same client wouldn't d…

I had to laugh, these are literally the only three things my wife and I use ours for. At a stretch, I'll count the multi-room speaker sync as a great value add to the OOTB audio pl…

> ... sent me to... Oh wow, that was great - particularly if I then look at my own body parts (like my palm) that I know are not moving, it's particularly disturbing. That's a real…

This drives me absolutely nuts on Netflix too, perhaps more so.

The older I get the more this kind of commentary (the OP, not you!) is a total turn off. Systems evolve and there's usually, not always, a reason for why "things are the way they a…

I originally read this as "No, code is dead..." and thought here we go. I agree with the sentiment in this, and seems to line up with my experience with friends and colleagues of v…

I'm relieved to know from reading this thread I'm not completely crazy. I have the same thing, a very, very short snippet just repeatedly "playing". I become very conscious of it a…

If you're interested in this sort of stuff I highly recommend Stillwell's "Mathematics and it's History" ( https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-1-4419-6053-5 ) - it's a wonde…

This sounded a strange abstract way to define it, but you're right, in as much as Open AI and MS deciding this between them. I don't think they mean it in a general sense though, i…

I had very similar sounding issues to the OP and thought it's probably something to do with a suboptimal SD card and/or overheating or memory. I also ended up using NextDNS and tbf…

This is such a great answer. You've given me flashbacks to many zoom meetings that started with "Can't we just...".

There's been weights on Civit.ai [1] for months, and I just assumed this was already done and a lost cause. When I asked ChatGPT/Dall-E for an image "... in the style of Herge" it …

I was massively into Tintin as a kid in Ireland and when I met my Belgian wife she introduced me to this and I loved it. I was hoping I'd find it mentioned in here already!
