It depends on the time scale you are looking at it with. It looks saturated short-term, but it surely is not long term. The problem will only show up once your surgeons start retiring.

I've known how to fix things for a loonnggg time, however I've never felt the need to fix things that aren't absolutely blocking my current goal. I'm not sure the two are that deeply linked, except that the former potentially enables the later.

Same. Also I have absolutely no interest in having them.

I like it better than sideberry/treestyletab, but I was not using the hierarchical feature of those two. It's just simpler and better integrated

There's no way I will ever remember it. I will write it down. Let me choose my own password (passphrase if I need to remember it)

In Belgium, Albert Hijn, I get audited about half the time. It's pretty quick so I don't really mind, but it happens a bit too frequently to my taste.

Another LLM wrapper that reduces effort and quality by 95%!

Of course it is. If nobody tells them that what they are doing is wrong and that it might have consequences, they will continue cheating.

I already get those benefits from focused pre-coding discussions and pull request reviews. They allow for high-quality decisions, involve more perspectives, and are asynchronous.

Pair programming might help when training juniors, since they need that level of hand-holding. But for experienced devs, constant back-and-forth while typing mostly just adds friction.

I’ve never really understood the hype around pair programming. In practice, it’s usually just sitting with a coworker who wants to chat and crack jokes while working. That’s fine socially, but I don’t see any productivity gains.

What I find actually useful is a short, focused meeting with the relevant people before coding. That way, we align on what’s being built, resolve confusion, and then I can just go write the code.

Once I'm typing, I don’t see how having someone else there helps. It mostly just gets in the way — we keep having to stop and explain what we're thinking, which slows things down. And usually the other person gets confused at some point, so I have to stop and explain things again to get them back on track.

I can't see the link either.

Exactly my experience in Belgium where we have a similar grade system. Teachers would give a list of questions in advance, students would just memorize the answers and repeat them at the exam. Most of them had absolutely zero understanding of the material.

Meanwhile, students who need to actually understand what they are learning (I can't memorize like others) before passing a test often end up with worse grades but a better understanding.

Absolutely broken system.

Understanding one level of abstraction doesn't mean you understand the levels of abstraction built on top of it. And vice versa.

There's often a lot of "business" human knowledge required to use a feature properly. That's usually what ends up in documentation.

This is neat. I wish I could self host it, I wouldn't use it otherwise.

Code does not contain all the information of a feature.

Just a local LLM app would be fine. I don't want it to be integrated with the OS.

Right, first thing I did after opening the article is CTRL-F'ing for conflict, and got zero result. How are they not talking about the only real problem about the local-first approach? The rest is just boiler plate code.

It's crazy the mental gymnastics people will go through to justify not using Firefox. They should just be honest and say they're too lazy to switch.

I will never understand why anyone would ever want to use voice assistants (other than for accessibility reasons). It is so gimmicky and awkward to use.

Android Auto does not even understand the word "no".

I hear so many people IRL complaining about this. I tell them to switch to firefox, that the adblockers still work there, and they still won't switch to it because they are "used to chrome". I really feel like google won this battle. People will through a lot of abuse just to maintain their habits.

Here in Belgium, by default they will bring it to the post office, but I've checked the option to leave it on the porch. There's a camera. Been just fine for years, in a suburb area.

The grapes I buy stay good for more than a week in the fridge without doing anything to them.

There are other ways to learn besides reading books, and it's probably my least preferred method. They often contain a lot of redundant/useless information.

Yeah, I don't understand how it is so prevalent in the self-hosted community. I would never install this on my server, just use wireguard/openvpn ...

edit: okay, CGNAT

It's the same with toner levels. Printer was saying toner was empty. I reset the toner levels of the printer using that hidden maintenance button combination. It kept printing just fine for a looong time after that.

There are also people who just don't ever travel, we lower that average holiday budget. I don't travel, and I think it's a bit weird how "normalized" it is. Not that it is wrong to travel, but people always ask me where did I go to this year, and are baffled when I tell them I didn't go anywhere.
