> Staff Eng .... has much more job mobility Not really. Above Staff and Staff+ companies are usually looking for expertise in domain, in addition to cross org leadership. Unless yo…

Can you share more about data availability part? What kind of data do you need which is missing now, isn't simulations enough? curious to learn more about bottlenecks in general

without language level support, it makes code look like a mess. Imagine, 3 level nesting calls where each calls another 3 methods, we are talking about 28 functions each with coupl…

it's only in theory, in practice not going to happen. In most of the cases, authorization servers are called from each microservice. evented systems loopback and it's difficult to …

are we doomed yet? Seems not yet with 5.2

Don't underestimate AWS. AWS can make it seamless, so you can run open source models on their hardware. See their ARM based instances, you rarely notice you are running on ARM, whe…

this assumes generated code is always correct and does exactly what's needed.

if it lasts even 1 year with on avg 1 min audio, I think it's nice disposable device to have. Some ideas if you have an app which can be integrated to other services: * I feel sick…

I think this benchmark could be slightly misleading to assess coding model. But still very good result. Yes, SVG is code, but not in a sense of executable with verifiable inputs an…

its not only about SPA vs non-SPA. For example, there is a nice component library, shadcn, of course you can somehow embed it into the project, but to use it productively, you must…

Django is awesome, but I wish there was an easy way to use modern web frameworks with it. A lot of times it's either through Nextjs/Nuxtjs + Django as an API or complex bundling pr…

I can give you many reasons, but I am afraid my comment will be flagged. Some of them: * Israel is losing support across the world, because now it can't control the narrative, befo…

but isn't it literally connected to foreign entities, with high probability to Israel-Palestine conflict, no?

Why is it my earlier comment with so many upvotes got [flagged] ? Is it because I mentioned the entity name? Here is the comment: "It’s ironic how the West has long championed demo…

Did it happen when people protested Russian invasion? No Did it happen when people protested China for the treatment of Uyghurs? No Did it happen when people speak up (no protests,…

It’s ironic how the West has long championed democracy, demanded freedom of speech, and called for human rights from everyone. Only to suddenly adopt authoritarian, anti-free speec…

Title is from X thread: https://x.com/haaretzcom/status/1986580606969651423

This is not a guideline on the code itself, its about tools you use to produce that code. You can similarly ban code written using IntelliJ IDEA and accept only code written using …

I never heard about banning autocomplete as guideline, maybe they failed eventually and we forgot about them? of course its their guideline, but guideline sounds more like fighting…

This sounds limiting. I compare LLM generated content to autocomplete. When autocomplete shows you options, you can choose any of the options blindly and obviously things will fail…

None is comparable to GPT-5 or Sonnet 4.5 experience

Are we going to see SOTA local coding models anytime soon with this hardware or is it still long way to go?

Someone probably returned the favor for the support in elections last year. Just guessing. Timing is odd
