AI coding tools can really make the "in the next week, I’ll do a whole month’s work. and no one will know" feel especially tempting, particularly if you're deep in the execution phase of a project. Truth is that can end up like Brooks's law on steroids.

Instead, just communicate with your stakeholders asap. Chances are they already know the project is at risk, and they'll be amendable to either descoping or pushing back the deadline.

100%. My team started using graphite.dev, which provides AI generated PR descriptions that are so bloated with useless content that I've learned to just ignore them. The issue is they are doing a kind of reverse inference from the code changes to a human-readable description, which doesn't actually capture the intent behind the changes.

As a Mac user, Notepad++ is the only thing I miss from the Windows ecosystem.

I just cancelled my Kagi subscription over the weekend. Some of the ideas in the article resonate (the dev team seems spread way too thin) but I also decided that the main product just wasn't distinct enough. The lens and quick answers features were nice, but otherwise the search results were not that different from Google's -- Having just switched back, I haven't noticed a significant difference.

I also think this product might be a bit too late. GPT4 has been out for over a year now, and it's changed how I look for answers. I tried FastGPT but like the author I found it lacking. As it stands, Perplexity feels more like the future of search than Kagi.

I’m disappointed, but I can’t say I’m surprised. I once tried to contact their support team after getting effectively locked out of my account, only to have the support form return a 5XX error upon submission. I dropped them right then and there.

There kind of is, it’s call HR-XML and a number of COTS resume parsers output their results in this format.

Life imitating art.

It would be a mass customer extinction event for said service, and would effectively result in a windfall for competing services

Simply cut a small rectangle out of the sticky part of a Post-It note for a safe camera cover that easy to remove and reuse.

This is starting to look like a customer extinction level incident — Any idea which competing service their users / wsb will likely move to?

Because of their stock growth

Try showing them some clips from Kitboga [1] — he talks to tech scammers (usually pretending to be an old lady) with the goal of wasting their time, and demonstrating how most tech scams work.

Since none of the top comments seem to directly discuss Joplin itself, let me just say that I’ve been using it for years, and it’s great.

One of the biggest selling points of these services is that you can view your live video feed from anywhere via mobile device -- A savvy tech enthusiast might be able to create such a setup by hand, but the majority of people wouldn't know where to begin.

Reading "The Design of Everyday Things" will give you a sense of the basics -- After that try learning a popular frontend-web framework (like Bootstrap / Foundation) which follows lot of the industry-standard UI practices out-of-the-box. Also checkout things like WAI-ARIA / WCAG, which outline accessibility standards on the web.

Choose a documentation source-of-truth (Confluence, etc) and keep a changelog[1]. I've also seen a dedicated email group (i.e. change-mngt@company.com) used for tracking non-code changes.

Ideally, from the get-go. Your system and documentation should be produced & grow in-parallel. At worst, before any team members with key (undocumented) domain knowledge leave.

Usually that requirements list comes directly from the hiring manager telling the recruiter "here are all the attributes of an ideal candidate", who in turn posts it in the job description verbatim. Not much thought goes into it beyond that.

+1 -- I have the same pair and can't imagine working in my open office without them
