I think it depends on the job one has. Working as senior software engineer for international companies? Any western european country is nice and all. Top p90 salary. English only n…

The litmus test is this: do you enjoy consuming AI-generated stuff? I don’t. Whether it’s written text, or video, audio, restaurant menus, clothing pictures, documentation, airport…

Im not so sure if this is a pro or a con. Take two extremes at product building: brute force vs deep research first. I guess llms allow you to experiment quickly with many approach…

Everyone can write; that doesn’t mean everyone can produce an interesting novel. If everyone can produce software via llms, that doesn’t necessarily mean that software is useful or…

Compilers also write code (they write machine code based on high level langs)… yet nobody asked the same question about them (or did they?) AI needs to be instructed and then some …

So, if engineers out there are not even interested in the most immediate layer of code in front of their eyes (e.g., the code that is now written by LLMs), I guess more and more th…

As someone who has never visited China or the US; yes. Why? Media. School shootings, ICE, crazy president… What do I see from China? Impressive multi-million cities… and true to be…

Would that single person handle different topics such as: UI/UX, security, backups, distributed systems, data migrations, infrastructure, …? Sure thing there are engineers out ther…

But searching on google or SO wasn’t the bottleneck either. It was searching on your own codebase (and dependant ones) for the exact place (a class, a file, a function) where to pu…

Got it. But then why Nike/Adidas/Quicksilver/etc cannot bring back clothes from the 90s? Buying second hand is not that nice (smells that never go away) and “vintage” places sell m…

Another reason why LLMs suck. So far cons > pros

Im curious, since I don’t drink coffee nor take protein supplements and the like, my question is: is the plan you keep taking what you take, let’s say, “forever”? Because the momen…

One could say it’s a way of “trust, but verify “

I remember buying a Nike Tshirt in the early 2000s: good quality, and still looking decent today. Nowadays most of the Nike/Adidas/etc stuff is very low quality fabric and not nece…

AI as a replacement of Google. When I wanted to learn about something the usual path was: google it. Go through dozens of links, discard, filter the good ones, read them, and gain …

We are the ones to get to decide. Do we want that? I don’t. But im just a single data point

How are (tech) consultants typically hired? They also go through the nonsense of live coding / systems design interview? Or they get asked specifically about the problem they need …

The problem to solve is addiction. When I was a kid I could spend the whole day and week in front of the play station… but my parents thought me that, well, that’s not normal (and …

If LLMs can handle 99% of software jobs, then they can “crack” robotics software and then we would have LLMs on robots to replace the rest of the workers

Nerds? We are not in the 90s anymore. The stereotype of software engineers has changed dramatically (for better or worse). All my current and past colleagues are the opposite of th…

You shouldn’t run any AI cli (codex, claude code, open code, whatever) locally outside of a vm. It’s like “you shouldn’t run a .exe you downloaded from the internet if you don’t tr…

Software. I typically use Macs. Previous one lasted 8-9 years (still working but bad battery). Current one (apple silicon) probably gonna last me the same time

In a world where we have people like Trump, Musk, Thiel, et al, with extreme power and resources, why would we hope for something like climate change to be addressed? What can scie…

Always surprises me how people feel identified with progress they didn’t participate with. These satellites have nothing to do with you. You didn’t build them nor researched about …

I was waiting for GTA 6… but if it’s not released in disk, then I will simply pass. If new games start to be non-physical, then I will simply stop playing new games
