    Without it you likely would have been in the same quagmire, but just slower? It could have taken you years to realize that "oh I'm just exploring stuff and have no output". Set an …

    Can someone please ELI5? I've heard much about it but still, with all the drama, I still don't get it. SKG is an initiative that will force game publishers to keep a game online, p…

    From your post it's not clear that you understand how AWS charges. CloudWatch metrics would only validate your case if these were pay-per-use services like Lambdas or something. Bu…

    I don’t get the analogy because novel is supposed to be interesting. Code isn’t supposed to be interesting, it’s supposed to work. If you’re writing novel algorithms all day, then …

    The problem with React is that it solved frontend. So the options are to 1. Code React all day and be happy with it. 2. Come up with reasons why it's bad. There are many talented a…

    At work, I have the same difficulty using AI as you. When working on deep Jiras that require a lot of domain knowledge, bespoke testing tools, but maybe just a few lines of actual …

    The "pelicans on a bike" challenge is pretty wide spread now. Are we sure it's still not being trained on?
