If you ever read anything about patterns you'll understand Martin Fowler & Co are about anything but producing decent code.

I certainly wouldn't want to review anything with Martin Fowler's name attached thanks anyway.

I don't think the US is a serious position to argue diplomatic issues atm.

I'd vote for it if I was Italian.

Bad bot.

Because you’re adjudicator on what’s honest and what’s not right?

All you’ve said is people with assets certainly couldn’t have earned those assets by earning income prior. Shock horror that people follow basic financial principles and decades later they have some wealth.

You hit the nail on the head friend :)

I’ve moved around a lot in Australia, every local government is responsible for the waste/recycling of the area it governs. Even neighbouring local governments have different waste and/or recycling.

The last place I lived before moving 2 months ago, didn’t have recycling bin at all. A unit complex with only one big waste bin. So nice not having to think which bin does this go in.

It’s religion in the making.

Want to get people onboard? Make it cheaper to reuse/recycle.

I’m sure any profession has this issue.

My families business is bookkeeping, they hired someone who graduated with an accounting degree. They didn’t grasp the basics of bookkeeping nor accounting once employed.

You’d think Google who my understanding pride themselves on technical chops would weed this out with all the interviews they do. But maybe it’s just big places have more cracks for people slip into.

Can you build a desktop/terminal app, web app/site, mobile app, or even a library without engaging AI is probably where I’d draw the line. Not everything you touch when you know how to code is doing the whole thing, but I’d expect you’d be able to piece it all together with some time and docs. Pick your own platform that suits too, I’m not saying iOS or Windows only.

For context to my above comment re university course. The final project we had to do was make a very rudimentary room reservation server/client on the terminal. Java, however you wanted to store the data was fine, TCP sockets were the parameters given.

It took me all of a week to finish it. Lots struggled to even begin. We were given 10 weeks.

I didn’t know much then but I read the docs and figured it out.

You will not beat SumatraPDF for speed of opening & reading PDF's.

NoScript works well enough just wholesale blocking js.

Care to name them?

It’s a game brother, don’t take it so seriously. Bit sad if your enjoyment/relaxation is measured in this exacting way.

It’s ridiculous how common the bots are becoming, then again Sam’s put a lot of money on the line so can’t be having bad vibes.

Cool story, glad it worked out for you.

It’s always static just FYI.

It’s laughable to compare fundraising today to 15 years ago.

You won’t get capital let alone VC if you’re not AI.

It’s infected everything much like crypto did just 3-4 years ago.

I mentioned this then other day, my university class had maybe 80% of people who could not code. No joke. And a lot have gone onto to code professionally.

AI is a godsend to this cohort of code monkies.

Edit: we graduated in 2006.

They’re probably a VC backed product in search of a solution.

Battle tested means deployed in production.

So when you say battle tested earlier, and then not production ready later - which one is it?

Did I read that correctly that there’s no WAL?

It’s just a game brother, no investment necessary. But do as you wish :)

Come play The Second Age, it's free and still kicking! https://www.uosecondage.com/

The name of the place should be enough of a giveaway for any thinking person Center for Advanced Hindsight.

SMH.

Why wasn’t it an option? I regularly walked/rode to & from primary & high school in Australia.

Children are easily led on, and if we’re being honest most adults are too.

It’s just a guessing next word program.

It has no feelings, therefore no empathy.

Best come up out of the rabbit hole for some fresh air & sunshine brother.
