The problem is that how do you review code if you don't know what it is supposed to look like? Creativity is not only in the problem solving step but also when implementing it, and letting an LLM do most of it is incredibly dangerous for the future, more so on juniors are gaining experience this way. The software quality will be much worse, and the churn even higher, and I will be in a farm with my chickens
Exactly this, as a Colombian with many friends who fled Venezuela, the consensus is that the means aren't good but it's looking like a great outcome for democracy (might be too early to tell)
A similar thing happened to me in South America while on vacation, I was looking to book an Uber but the taxi driver gave me a small discount to do it "on the side" and explained that he wouldn't see most of the money from Uber.
As a passenger, the advantage of Uber is that if something happens, I have someone accountable: drive + car plate. But in reality I don't know if that works
Bleh, I think a typo here and there is fine, you can grasp the meaning, and gives the writing style "character". Yes, it's dire but I'd take that over the soul-less LLM writing style.
As I've read through the post, seeing phrases like "Why this matters for performance", usage of em-dashes and lists/bullet points, screams AI written to me. I appreciate you saying it wasn't, but such is the fate of who wrote this to write like LLMs do nowadays. I also liked to use em-dashes and bullet lists but am consciously avoiding them now.
I'm a freelancer. And I do use VictoriaMetrics + Grafana on projects for clients, have done so for years now. It what put bread on the table. I like your product, it's standard etiquette in the community to disclose these affiliations, I recognize your name :)
If you are a SWE, there are a bunch of jobs that offer visa sponsorship in the EU. You can check the countries that allow double nationality and usually takes 5-6 years to get it, but that probably means learning another language, unless you go to Ireland, where the housing crisis is one of the worst in Europe. The salary is going to be lower, taxes will be higher, but you'll probably have a better quality of life in general. It's all about trade-offs.
