    How would this be virtue signaling? Anyway, I think we should want to build efficient things. Dismissing this doesn’t seem terribly productive.

    Sorry, the "re-implemented" wording might have been a bit strong in my last comment. Take a look at this recent pull request into the TP decompilation repo: https://github.com/zeld…

    This project was made possible by the recent ZeldaRET decompilation project. To simplify, the goal of that project was to create a program whose inputs were the game assets (extrac…

    Fair points! Thanks for sharing the write-up as well - great read.

    I guess the only difference between this and your example is the concrete efficiency gain from RTL and synthesis tools versus dubious applications of AI. I do agree with the second…

    1) Can you explain what demand and supply mean in this context? 2) In regards to having good backup hygiene, who is we ?

    Educate me then. The mental image I have from researching the topic seems contrary to what you’re saying.

    I would have been interested in debating the content of your reply if your account had not been created 1 hour ago. So what about protesting the Russian invasion of Ukraine seems o…

    I don’t see it as a waste of my time. I am not in the habit of seeing conflicts in which innocent people die as a “waste of my time”. The idea that my time is somehow more valuable…

    Not pertinent. My point is more in reference to the ancestor comment with respect to Ukraine and Taiwan: > Yeah, Notepad++ is known for political messaging in their updates. Taiwan…

    > I can't help but feel there must some better venue for such messaging. I would argue that this has been an effective avenue for messaging/protest. You’re responding to it on this…

    They referred to Microsoft’s known practice of embrace, extend, extinguish a “conspiracy theory” in a sibling thread, so they’ve essentially lost credibility. I don’t think genuine…

    You shouldn’t be posting replies like this on a public forum if you’re actually a MS employee.

    “We” feels a little insincere when you’re speaking on behalf of such a large corporation. I’m sure the comment had more to do with weaknesses of Azure as a whole rather than your t…

    Care to cite a reputable source? With an account created just before this comment, I’d assume this is just low-effort trolling.

    I agree with many other replies here, specifically about accessibility. Once I learned how to use a screen reader, it was eye-opening. So many web applications are utterly broken f…

    Sure they do. I’ve used it multiple times for new (but small) projects in the last year. It’s straightforward with Vite and works fine. I’ve also used Next for new projects in the …

    It’s important to set attainable goals. My guess is that this will put incredible, undue stress on the staff. Business idiots, as Ed Zitron would say.

    Aren’t we talking about what appears to be a management decision/performance review? What do the other engineers have to do with this? Why are they mediocre?
