Most people in societies built car-first/only (USA) truly rely on their cars. The situation is not the same in big parts of Europe and Asia. We can go 100 years forward and fund public infrastructure which is better for the environment, more safe and gives a much higher socio-economic value (except for the highway lobby).
> Front End Engineer roles pay less than general Software Development Engineers at pretty much every FAANG
Not in my experience for the last 5 years, looking at two job ads and comparing the salary range, they are usually the same. Which FAANG still does this?
If anything you'd probably drastically increase your salary if boomeranging. Inflation has been no joke these last years, and getting a new job usually outperforms a promotion by a large margin.
I've always done it like this as well. Initially I did it for the most obvious reason: it gave me the working software that I needed the fastest. Then later on, I always found it to be the best way to find natural abstractions as you go.
How can you say this when many of the worlds most used apps are written in React Native? Same with Electron and desktop apps. I find it hard to believe you can be more productive writing native code when you need two entirely different codebases, compared to a single one, no matter how good of an iOS and Android developer you are.
This is very cool, impressive work in 2 weeks!
Each action seems to have some delay after it, is there any reason for that? Is it because you are streaming the OpenAI response and performing the actions as they come? If not, I imagine streaming the query response and executing each action as they emit would speed it up quite a bit?
Software development isn't really about just acquiring and memorising knowledge to later spit out. You need reasoning, logic and creativity. That AGI can develop complex new software (not just some code that has been scraped of the internet years ago) in 10 years is something I doubt.
It certainly doesn't help his case. If you have had troubles with the law prior to a new crime, it gets taken into consideration negatively by the judge. Same with cheaters. It means he is a cheater by definition and has the moral compass to cheat again.
You pay a premium to let your devs work on what matters, the actual product, not tinker with devops tools for hours on end on something that has already been solved. Something to keep in mind is that infrastructure code has to be updated and maintained as well, with services that gets handled for you. It would be interesting to see how much of a difference in price it would make over eg. a year.
I think that for the average developer, these tools will soon be obsolete. For frontend applications, hosting services such as Vercel and Netlify gives a far superior DX. For backend, Vercel does the same, or other BaaS' like Supabase that gives you most you would need to create a fully fledged app with easy to use API's. The only downside I can tell, is the pricing, but compared to dev hours saved, it's probably a net benefit.
I've always been confused by this, as most studies show around 5~ hours a day is the maximum your brain can do work that requires deep focus (programming etc). So what are these people doing where they can work 10+ hours days? You will see seriously diminishing (and often negative) results when overworking. You'll end up waking up the next morning cleaning up and fixing bugs from your overworked brain.
Yeah, that's exactly what I would imagine vanilla js code look like, and I'm glad we moved on to frameworks. Just this small app seems not so fun to maintain
