lispisok··on Audioscrape: Building in Rust When Everyone Said I Shouldn't
How did you get your first 500 users?
lispisok··on AI won't replace human devs anytime soon
I could see it as being a metric like lines of code written. The days I make more commits is usually because I coding poorly and having to fix my bugs and fix missed edge cases. Fewer well thought out tested changes are better
lispisok··on Most gamers prefer single-player games
As another child mentioned dont play AAA games. AAA games budgets have gotten so big the entire project becomes about how they are going to make a profit on their $100 million cost instead of making a good game. Even if they wanted to make a good game with projects that size you get corporate management and design by committee that will always result in crap.
lispisok··on Most gamers prefer single-player games
Maybe I'm just old and washed but it seems like kids these days take multiplayer games way more seriously. Instead of hopping on and playing a few games after school/work people act more like they are trying to make the college sports team. The amount of time and effort required to hold you own has gone up dramatically.
lispisok··on When To Do What You Love
Lemme guess, Taos or Santa Fe?
lispisok··on Refactoring Python with Tree-sitter and Jedi
yes but how does the IDE do it?
lispisok··on Why is F# code robust and reliable?
Immutability by default contributes just as much if not more
lispisok··on The Intelligence Age
I got a kick out of that. Spoken like a man who doesnt have to concern himself with the price of housing or any other necessity as we watch this strange short lived phenomena called the middle class disappear and we're back to the haves and have-nots.
lispisok··on The Intelligence Age
So at what point do the linear increases in capability not justify the exponential compute and data requirements, or when do we run out of resources to throw at it?
lispisok··on Data Science Agent and Code Transformation
That's some privacy notice. I think I'll pass
lispisok··on Why Scrum is stressing you out
I cant tell if you're making fun of or trying to justify scrum masters
lispisok··on Why Scrum is stressing you out
One of my favorite moments was when my non-developer friend at a tech company asked me what scrum masters did because she could not figure out what the scrum masters did at her company. I told her the answer which is nothing.
lispisok··on How America's universities became debt factories
You are being downvoted but that was exactly my experience. It wasnt hyperbole. I was told my entire time in k-12 you need to get a college degree by everybody. Parents, teachers, counselors. Additionally they said, with no exaggeration, to get any degree, at any school, and take out as many loans as you need. So yes an entire generation of kids were told the $60,000 in debt for a latin dance degree at a no-name school was better than no degree at all.
lispisok··on How America's universities became debt factories
It's a younger field. A lot of self-taught people think they will be excluded (they wouldnt be). There is a deliberate effort by execs to lower the salaries of software developers by ensuring there are no barriers to entry and flooding the market which the vast majority of the workforce has been tricked into going along with.
lispisok··on CS Career fair cancelled at community college because no companies reached out
Expecting college students to hit the ground running with whatever stack a company is running is bad and unreasonable and we should push back against it. Engineering, law, accounting, and medicine dont do this. Why should Computer Science? Dont reduce a university education into learning javascript frameworks.
lispisok··on Intel is on life support. Can anything save it?
Where does Intel go from here?

* They missed out the rise of mobile

* They missed out on the rise of GPU computing

* AMD has been making gains in the server cpu market

What do they have left other than consumer computer market where their main advantage is name recognition?

lispisok··on Effects of Gen AI on High Skilled Work: Experiments with Software Developers
Like most things the decline in quality is probably multi-faceted. There is also the component where tech became a hot attractive field so people flooded in who only cared about the paycheck and not the craft.
lispisok··on How to Read Deep Learning Paper as a Software Engineer
>People building things and who understand LLMs actually believe in it.

You can say the same thing about blockchain

lispisok··on Boom Supersonic's XB-1 prototype aces 2nd test flight
Better than investing in blockchain or another openai wrapper company
lispisok··on Greppability is an underrated code metric
Am I the only one who hates arrow functions?
lispisok··on 80% of AI Projects Crash and Burn, Billions Wasted Says Rand Report
>Everybody wants to make fancy AI models, nobody wants to be responsible for the 10K lines of uncommented Python and SQL you're using to build your test/train sets

I'm unfortunately the guy who that gets dumped on and it's the most hated part of my job. I've tried talking to the people who authored such atrocities but they refuse to acknowledge that's bad code and have huge egos about it and see any slam dunk tools like using a linter to be an impediment to their work.

lispisok··on Zuckerberg claims regret on caving to White House pressure on content
That seems to be what every social platform eventually turns into
lispisok··on Continuous reinvention: A brief history of block storage at AWS
It's a common misunderstanding that a professional license would be required to perform any kind of work which is not true of the professional engineering license.
lispisok··on Aliasing Your Git Commands for Maximum Developer Efficiency
Great example of premature optimization. Save seconds per day typing "gc" instead of "git commit"
lispisok··on Electric Clojure v3: Differential Dataflow for UI [video]

Some interesting charts https://fred.stlouisfed.org/categories/32444
lispisok··on GM to Cut More Than 1k Software Engineers, Mostly in US
What if the money saved isnt used to help save thousands of other jobs but makes its way up to the C suite compensation?
lispisok··on AI companies are pivoting from creating gods to building products
You're suggesting boring business way to do things. The tech ecosystem is full of startups doing that ridiculous thing you said chasing the hot new thing and raising huge amounts of money off the hype. This AI hype cycle is really bad and before that we had cryptocurrency.
lispisok··on Launch HN: Sorcerer (YC S24) – Weather balloons that collect more data
If this works this is huge. It will improve everything from knowing the weather for your weekend hike to hurricane evacuation order lead time and area
lispisok··on Millennials Are Becoming Boomers
Cool more data showing if you didnt get on the housing ladder before 2021 you are screwed.
