I wish more people understood that prototype != product

The software that we can create today was always possible a couple years ago too. The difference is that we can do it a lot faster now. But the subtle thing to realize is that the …

Exactly, I absolutely agree that AI supercharges seniors with judgment and conviction. They’re no longer constrained by how fast they can type. But this is about what comes next i.…

Sure you can do it but I think you’ll agree with what I said about ownership. Whenever I ask AI to audit my codebase, it always plays it safe and gives me a few options to choose f…

Agreed. I’m not insinuating that colleges should teach all of these extremely domain-specific things. Most of the stuff would indeed be unnecessary for most students depending on w…

Precisely my point. But unfortunately companies are rushing to get the features out. No cares if you’re learning and augmenting your own understanding or not.

> Shouldn't this be a pretty fundamental part of a degree? If you're in school right now for a CS or SWE related degree, I would imagine you're learning how code actually works, ho…

Stakeholders are not technical enough to understand that so CEOs won’t do it. We are already seeing it play out. Entry-level hiring has been consistently down ever since AI got mai…

This all sounds good on paper but I have an honest question: How do you develop judgement as a junior or mid level engineer to critique AI if you yourself never learned that skill …

> AI has, multiple times already over multiple different era's definitions of what counts as "AI", been used to invent new things that humans have not been able to. Can you give a …

AI has indeed come a long way in the last couple of years. But if we boil it down, it’s all basically just very sophisticated pattern matching. Let’s say you ask AI to write a piec…

Writing the blog post took longer than the million line Rust rewrite. That is all someone with a few brain cells needs to understand what’s going on here.

I know that almost all technology is a double edged sword. When used correctly, it can elevate you more than ever possible before. Conversely, it can also destroy your ability to l…

I’m from Pakistan and I currently work as a Backend Engineer remotely. But given my background in Electrical Engineering, I keep tinkering with electronics and robotics stuff whene…

Are you from Pakistan? I have an Alchitry Cu FPGA board for my personal use if you want to borrow it for implementation. Awesome project btw!

Basic RGB LED color cycling using async Embassy Rust on the Seeed XIAO nRF52840 (no_std, no_main, embassy-time for delays). Open to feedback on Embassy patterns, timing accuracy, o…

RP Zero 2W is $15 and Uno Q is $44

Thank goodness I switched to nrf + embassy before this happened

I didn't say perfect, I said closest to perfect. Regarding the implicit return types, it's all a matter of taste. I think they're very clean, but Rust is not forcing you to be impl…
