… so Elon Musk? :D

That’s a good question. Are you a bot?

Over the American system? Anyday

Around 10 years. I also find that claude hallucinates once in a while, but I usually catch it. My main job becomes requesting and reviewing code instead of writing it.

But I don't think it is fair to compare copilot and cursor. I have not been able to gain any significant productivity boost from using copilot (which I have in my Visual Studio proper).

I rarely use the tab completion. Instead I use the chat and manually select files I know should be in context. I am barely writing any code myself anymore.

Just sanity checking that the output and “piping” is correct.

My productivity (in frontend work at least) is significantly higher than before.

Any gamer would know this by heart ;)

No, the job will change.

It is a tool for building software. You still need to know software development to use the tool.

You might not need to actually write code in the future - just like very few write Assembly today.

But you still need to know and understand system requirements, systems architectures, integrations, distribution, deployment, maintenance, etc.

Software Engineering is more than just coding.

Definitely better than China.

Not misleading - you understood it.

Lifetime license does not necessarily equal lifetime updates. 2 years of updates is generous enough for $19.

Same here. Although I am quite introvert I find that the small social interactions at office are a necessary part of my well-being (both inside and outside of work)

So an open plan office?

I am a paying customer. Mostly due to my kids enjoying a lot of their stuff.

It used to have a decent amount of content for me - but as time went, I just found less and less interesting content and now I no longer bother to even browse Netflix.

Also, from my understanding, the burnout did not seem to stem from the actual work but more from interpersonal relations and disagreements. I am certain that is not uncommon

Why would you want to stand next to either?

They are not exactly located in urban areas...

What would be a better comparison?

The name is off to me. More natural:

- whaaatabout

- whatabooout

Having dealt with the pain and complexity of a 100+ lambda function app for the last 4 years, I must say this post definitely hits the spot wrt. the downsides of FaaS serverless architectures.

When starting out, these downsides are not really that visible. On the contrary, there is a very clear upside, which is that everything is free when you have low usage, and you have little to no maintenance.

It is only later, when you have built a hot mess of lambda workflows, which become more and more rigid due to interdependencies, that you wish you had just gone the monolith route and spent the few extra hundreds on something self-managed. (Or even less now, e.g. on fly.io)

A question for author: what if not using Elixir?

Sure. As long as I don’t have to deliver (all) my private data to get those relevant ads.

I work most days in the office. By choice. That is the important part.

I have the flexibility to work wherever I want, no questions asked, no one keeping track. All asked, is that I get shit done and show up to our very infrequent in-person meetings.

Although I am quite introvert, I work in the office because I enjoy and need the social interaction.

Ultimately, what matters to me is not whether fully remote, hybrid or in-office is optimal. What matters is the freedom to choose what fits best with my personal life.

Huh. Guess I will stop donating to Wikimedia. Not that I don’t support those causes. I just thought my money went to maintaining Wikipedia.

I understand it like this: the author is sorry he had to fork the project instead of supporting the main project. But also sorry that he saw no other option.

I like the idea of ResGen. But I think you should consider changing your pricing.

10 free resumes per month seems too generous. Also, $7 is very low for a paid plan, when your users are likely to churn as soon as they find a job. If this tool is really as valuable for job hunters as it aims to be, they should gladly pay three times that amount.

Correct, although eventually most stores using the product will die out.

This is actually one of the biggest reasons for app churn on Shopify - stores going out of business :-)

How would a crypto network help here?

Also target audience here. I second the views of sibling post.

From my experience with Shopify customer service, I would say firing them all sounds like a great idea.

Let’s free up some humans for other tasks. They weren’t performing the previous tasks that well anyway.

I am also not understanding what people think is wrong with current twitter. Nothing really has changed from my pov.

My intuition is that Golang people dislike frameworks.

I switched from unstructured Trello / OneNote / Notepad notes to Joplin 4 years ago.

I sync it through cloud between mobile, desktop and laptop.

It is simply awesome. One of the most important tools I use everyday.

Every time a UI update is pushed for the calling and messaging interface, there is a group of seniors that no longer know how to call or message family and friends.
