Hart daran zu arbeiten, besser zu werden, führt nicht immer zu linearen Fortschritten. See, I didn't need to write in German, but you instantly understand my point better. Gleich u…

I miss speaking my native language, too, but English is what I take as common ground. As an adult, I can never hope to compete on native German fluency with someone who's born and …

Comfort of native language is undeniable, that's not even close to my point. Of course you would be kind and use appropriate local language whenever you can. It is that native flue…

This. The landing story is uncharacteristically soft, surrounded by English speaking colleagues in an international company. On average, you'd find that Germans tend to grow weary …

Writing code is cheap. Coming up with a plan to stay updated on specs and verification are not so cheap, and you need more attention there than ever, because an LLM will take your …

Rough opinion: If you're a developer who chose to be a meat proxy, you shouldn't whine if/when you're laid off, because clearly LLMs can do your job.

That is the point: Make "X can be done by AI" common discourse and watch industries "being disrupted". At least with open weights we'd be able to verify the claims.

When manufacturing turned into electrified factories and conveyor belts, there wasn't waves of massive layoffs. And AI these days come nowhere near close to conveyor belts or elect…

Replace LLM mentions with actual humans and this sounds a lot more serious: Rouge employees break into another company to steal hackathon answers (pinky promise)? That's not a mark…

VPN is a legit technology with real applications, not a toy you spin when lawmakers hurt you. And it's for Anne Frank's diaries out of all disputes? EU lawmakers follow tech trends…

That doesn't sound good, but out of curiosity: How do you exactly hide debt? Circular economy is easy to understand, but what else is cooking?

I doubt it will ever become a $1T company ever again.

Imagine building your solution using a 3rd party library, it still builds during your PR reviews and when you merge, it no longer builds. How would you feel?

Yes, and you can also write two different sentences using two different pens in your hands.

So, how do their overall financials look these days?

With tools like GitHub Actions and some added constraints, it's not always possible. You literally need a commit to trigger the CI workflow and it starts to trash your branch. Besi…

guess they already ran out of fresh context huh Coming up next: You harness takes daily backups of your entire disk and restores.

Hard agree. I used to have a tuned setup where I could force it to do research properly, summarize in chunks that it would remember and form the synthesized response that way. Nowa…

I couldn't find architecture.yaml in the repo.

This. And don't forget the occasional refinement meetings during which you think you're making a group decision but your manager and the other senior (both German, speaking German,…

Agents struggle with this: DRY means they create helper functions and classes for a testing scenario and maybe it's called two times. When you ask for a refactor of your code and t…

Oof. That's a bright red flag: Regulated industry and own laptop? Please tell me at least if they asked you to install a new harddrive and company VPN. If not, the company is proba…

Chinese whispers, simulacra... I don't have the energy to argue after being name called, but you get the point. Yes LLMs are useful in building automatic telling machines, but ask …
