No matter how many guardrails you put on AI, just remember that in about 6 months open source models will be able to do the same thing without the guardrails
If AI is vying for all the junior jobs, won’t that necessarily drive the market to push juniors into the senior positions sooner? The big question is, will this push senior dev salaries down because of the glut of senior devs? Or will there be a glut of jobs because of all the things that need to be maintained? Or are we all going to be out of a job eventually?
i have to get something off my chest that I've been holding on to for a long time....
I think Dells are better than Thinkpads.
There I said it. I feel better now
terminal multiplexers are probably the proper level of abstraction for terminal session management. I don’t think there’s a lot of value in pushing a lot of features into a terminal app. I need a terminal to render text well, support zooming in and out and support tabs so I can have one tab per machine I’m sshed into
there are two different ways you can think about architecture of businesses, systems, and software. you can centralize and standardize everything, or you can have disparate systems, processes and protocols, sometimes even multiple that do the same thing. the first gives you more consistency across the architecture, but is prone to breaking in such a way where everything is down all at once. the later leads to smaller outages more often but very rarely will you stop everyone from doing what they need to do.
it's strange that one of the largest companies in the world providing services that allow people to work remotely without an office is itself requiring everyone to be in office
irony abounds
Leaves work on Friday with multiple projects open at the perfect spot to pick up Monday, comes back in the morning to windows updates having rebooted my PC
IMHO (I know a lot about os dev just trust me) I think we should stop trying to put Rust in the Linux Kernel. I think someone should start building a Linux clone with Rust as a separate project. Make user space compatible with existing binaries and may the best project win.
dynamic languages are just hard. I need the compiler to hold my hand. I am guaranteed to make mistakes while writing code and I can't let some type coercion issue because I misspelled a variable screw me over
TIL: The Inner-Platform Effect. Its where you engineer an entire crappier platform on top of a platform instead of just writing the software to work with the platform you started with. I've done this. Don't do it. It's bad.
