One way of framing this is that people that prefer to solve problems are actually bad at tinkering and writing good code. Hence the existence of terrible codebases written by devs …

There is a lot of content out for vibe coding, but it mostly comes from solo devs. Are there teams who are vibe coding and how do they solve the general problem of trust. Sure, vib…

Let's say you have people higher on the corporate ladder on a technical level whose opinions you do not respect. This can be because they are either fluffy talkers, ivory tower arc…

I use Deezer - thanks to it I discovered new music that I like. With Spotify if you listened to one Beatles song you got only Beatles recommendations. At least the app is stable an…

In EU we now have a time tracking law mandating companies to track and keep track of their employee’s hours. While one can defend it in a good faith, it is not a stretch to see how…

AI is actively being used to build dead internet right now. So many human potential and hours will be squandered by replying to basically spam. Sure, cynics will say that those net…

The simplest take is that “white people are not diverse”. So by asking for diverse group means non-white. Predominantly because diversity is _within a dominating white culture with…

sonder (uncountable) (neologism) The profound feeling of realizing that everyone, including strangers passing in the street, has a life as complex as one's own, which they are cons…

If blog can be fully AI generated, why even pretend it's _someone's_? Why not simply make it an AI blog for people that want their knowledge to come from LLM, rather than from expe…

In the modern era of minifying JS to squeeze out bytes, in certain cases, for smaller, non-commercial sites, it might be better for devs to learn from reading each other's source c…

A somewhat sobering post explaining the background behind all this complexity. It is very easy to rant against complexity on its own, but respecting the background that lead to it …

Entity Framework Playground https://efplayground.io A small codepen inspired site for testing and learning about Entity Framework Core with C#. Definitively half baked as barely an…

That wouldn't work because n-th digit differing from 1st digit of n-th number doesn't guarantee that the new number isn't accounted for already.

> we know so little about the universe But free will doesn't fall in the realm of "things to research". It's an escape mechanism devised by religious people wanting a perfect mecha…

Wow, to call psychology, sociology and all studies of human behaviour pseudoscience because free will is not true is really just projection - since free will is not even pseudoscie…

As applications become more complex they start requiring proper FAQ, documentation and more. How would you approach it from the tech/writing side? How to keep screenshots up to dat…

Another fantastic take on coordination issue is Scott Alexander's Meditations on Moloch [0]. 0 - https://slatestarcodex.com/2014/07/30/meditations-on-moloch/

This whole article reeks of "science is BS, we need free will for humans to be real and morally responsible". For all of its smart wording, this amounts to the same old issue Arist…

Long time ago I was a fan of KZ mod in CS 1.6 and I made this: http://kzplayer.azurewebsites.net . It's open source, but there is no "pipeline" to generate stuff on the fly. You ha…

So it boils down always to moral choices - hence the whole problem is basically a problem of moral systems. Why do you build wind barriers? Same reason for prisons - to prevent fut…
