There are different kinds of developer. Some will find their joy through building fast, they tend to love LLMs. Some love the art of writing code; they don't tend to love LLMs. And…

I've most recently used it to build a system design interview simulator and a job board crawler which sends the best roles to my email every day.

At the time, they were right; it was as good as society had ever been. I think they were much like us in many ways. They probably imagined that things could get better (even if the…

I agree that a lot of the noise at the moment is an emotional reaction to LLMs, rather than a dispassionate assessment of how useful they are. It's understandable - they are changi…

That's only the case if demand is static. The parent comment mentions that "poor people buy more stuff" which is increased demand

A top recommendation along these lines is The Worst Journey in the World by Apsley Cherry-Garard; a member of the Scott expedition to the south pole, which goes into detail of his …

There's a disincentive to actively block PRs if you don't want your coworkers to think you are a bad colleague / not on their side. So you often see suboptimal code making its way …

It gives you control over the output of your program (and as you mention, the exact error code - which probably should be 1 in this instance). It's often more user friendly to prin…

I really like the short and visually descriptive layout of this article. It clearly conveys the message. I'm not in agreement that toasts are always bad though. It can be useful to…

All very good and useful points. One additional thing to mention is that as you are querying across the raw data with a data lake(house), performance is fundamentally worse, even i…

One engineer on their own can only write so much code. As soon as you have two, you have a team, and the team needs to share information. Fundamentally that's what all those meetin…

This is my final quibble with VSCode as well - except I'm coming from Vim. I've hunted high and low through the settings - if anyone from the VSCode team is reading this, there's n…

Getting a 5xx error for your site. Using Firefox mobile if that helps

Why would it be flagged? Sweden is a prominent European country, equally valid an example as the USA for such a study.

As a Brit I can't help but notice that on every axis, our country appears to be in decline at the moment. Even before Brexit, things hadn't been going well, as this article shows. …

The effect mentioned started before Brexit, so the link has to be with something else - in the article's conclusion it's a related Tory problem, austerity

Well known anecdotally perhaps, but this is the first time I've seen a major publication link the two issues (possibly I don't read enough of the news). Hopefully we see more like …

I'd question whether this is an ethical thing to suggest, in case any of said henchmen were to read this site

That would be Airbnb, and it seems to be turning out about as well for the market

I'd recommend having a look at https://github.com/neoclide/coc.nvim if you feel you're missing out from not having VSCode extensions - it's available for both vim and neovim. Allow…

A few interesting ones in there, such as Dentists, who other than other dentists, most often marry secretaries and assistants.

I'm not sure how this is talking down to anybody. It's generally true that if you're cycling in the winter (I do it in the UK) you'll be perfectly warm even wearing minimal clothin…

You've entirely ignored the thrust of the parents argument. I'd also point out that from the perspective of a secular westerner, even if one group is calling for the genocide of th…
