Listen, I won't pretend to be The God Emperor Of Writing Code or anything of the sort, I'm realistically quite mediocre/dead average in the grand scheme of things. But literally yesterd…

Is me not wanting the UI of my OS to shift with every mouse click a hot take? If me wanting to have the consistent "When I click here, X happens" behavior instead of the "I click here a…

So AI is simultaneously going to take over everyone's job and do literally everything, including being used as application UI somehow... But you have to talk to it like a moody teenager at their …

There's also those instances where Microsoft unleashed Copilot on the .NET repo, and it resulted in the most hilariously terrible PRs that required the maintainers to basically tell Copilot every…

We'll need to boil a few more lakes before we get to that stage I'm afraid, who needs water when you can have your AI hallucinate some for you after all?

I try all the time, but I always end up having to wrestle a trillion calls into some library code that has 0 relevance to me, and if the issue is happening at some undetermined point in the chain, you…

I'm fast at reviewing PRs because I know the person on the other end and can trust that they got things correctly. I'll focus on the meaty, tricky parts of their PR, but I can rest assured t…

But how is this a more efficient way of working? What if you have to have it open 30 PRs before 1 of them is acceptable enough to not outright ignore? It sounds absolutely miserable, I'd rather r…

Everyone in Yugoslavia was called "Drug" (pronounced droog, Friend), it'd be hard to claim it wasn't autocratic. Same with the USSR and China.

It's interesting for me as I'm Serbian but grew up in Indonesia. In Serbian we very much have honorifics (I think honorifics is the wrong word, not sure what the correct one is) and rules li…

Interesting that your comment got flagged almost instantaneously

Is this the same company that has their recruiters (or whatever the hell they're called) spamming me incessantly via all my emails, even the throwaway ones I've used literally one single tim…

I mean have you seen the interview he did with Theo Von? The guy is a straight up Alien in the way he talks and acts, all those memes about him being a lizard aren't exactly far off.

Or we can blame the literal scammers and other degenerates that lead businesses and have forced jurisdictions like the EU to implement these? We've JUST unearthed yet another scandal from Meta,…

All of this is forced, yes. There's probably a trillion dollars riding on this all not imploding, so we're getting it shoved everywhere, all the time, incessantly. My own experience with &qu…

From my experience the people spending "millions" are hoping they get those millions * 10 back because a buddy of theirs told them "this AI thing" is going to replace the most expe…

I mean yeah, you should lie in interviews. Mind you I don't mean make up ridiculous fabrications like "I single-handedly saved the entire company from bankruptcy", more like little wh…

I mean, I've definitely had all these experiences and know I have, but I couldn't tell you a single detail about anything of those moments. I've missed plenty of buses because I've…

The way I've interpreted conflict in these contexts is more of a "You have ticket X, but it can't be done because Y. How did you communicate about that to your PM/Team/Manager…

I genuinely hate to be that guy lol, but I've found LLMs great for this. I've been updating my resume lately and I've had some LLMs create scripts to call Jira + Linear APIs to fetch al…

I'd recommend any EU citizen (and non-citizen!) to give their feedback against this disgusting proposal here: https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/better-regulation/have-y…

The expanded commit messages have the prompts

> Low quality being "expected" (which isn't true in my experience, either) is irrelevant when the software doesn't work at all. Yep, fully agree. We're going through this o…

Will it? With how they work I find it more likely to run a sudo rm -rf /* than anything else.
