>Those are the exact kind of people most intelligent people find quite grating in an organization
Most intelligent people contribute to this as well though. Being intelligent doesn't automatically remove egoistical traits, for some it's even supercharged if it results in personal growth within the organization.
I don't, but I enjoy a lot of perks that I would not get anywhere else. Thats why I stay. Basically work when I want, where I want. 100% remote if I choose to do so. Very flexible days off (maybe that's also why I am contacted a lot during those days). Almost no meetings, and relatively good pay.
Being the only dev in a startup since 2 years without a single day off where I wasn't messaged by my employer I want this. At least I'll have a 3 week out of country trip where I do not bring my laptop later this year...
This is mostly the result of a lot of vinyl factories having shut down due to vinyl becoming mostly irrelevant after the release of more convenient formats like the CD. At least irrelevant enough to make factories unsustainable. Most modern vinyls have extremely bad quality, I'd even go as far and say almost all freshly produced vinyls. Source: I've worked in a high end luxury HiFi store for years prior to getting into tech, selling turn tables, tube amps, speakers and basically whatever you can think off in that space.
True! This is precisely what really annoys me about humans, because it makes humans not care about many things, and it's a skill I struggle with, which causes constant anger and helplessness on my side of things. But I guess it's what allows people to have hope and being whimsical, happy and whatnot.
The more time LLMs are a hyped thing now the more I realize how immensely important human expertise is. I recently stopped all usage of LLMs due to this. Skill degradation hits hard, learning effect is zero and the outcome is not really something a person without adequate expertise can properly judge. I fear we will loose a lot of human expertise due to this marketing stunt of a technology.
People often claim learning is actually supercharged with LLMs but to me it's the opposite. I didn't learn anything within the past year.
Isn't every nuclear bomb an existential threat to all human life? How can one say there are no existential threats while countries people consider "The Enemy" have enough nukes to kill all human life multiple times?
Also global warming is an existential threat. It's really telling how little people care about the world's problems not seeing their very own existence endangered.
Idk I joined the field only like 5 years ago. Prior to knowing about programming I had a lot of respect for programmers and tech as it was this magic world to me. After having joined the field the magic is completely gone and I don't want to talk to programmers irl anymore because of how many insufferable people I've met so far.
The parts where I've got credit are the simple things, fix printer, fix computer issue A,B and C or small apps like an ad free Sudoku for android which I have built for my friends.
The parts I don't get credit for are the parts I get paid for. But I can see that in many industries, as soon as money is involved people are less thankful because they expect you to fulfill your part of the contract.
Generally people not knowing shit about tech think that devs sit in HO all day working only 30 minutes. AI didn't help that image.
Actually having to work and take responsibility is extremely exhausting compared to corp life, I experienced both, I currently have no corp job, am responsible for a lot of apps and hate every part of it.
Boreout is so much better than burnout and I never worked a job that allowed me to have none of them.
Well game vendors catering game data to the military is the problem here, not the maps themselves. Maps are good, shady corpo bs isn't. Same shit Spotify pulled by investing into war machinery rather than paying the artists more.
Honestly most places on the internet are not places to go into arguments in good faith. Maybe it used to be different, but with the amount of OSS projects being endangered by AI slop contributions, silently closing PRs should be the norm.
If someone gets emotional about their PR being rejected, well... its kinda their issue.
I really wonder how maintainers get pressured into merging stuff? If they did not want to merge in the first place while having to argue with someone pushing their PR I'd immediately close the PR. Arguing and pressuring people is not a way to contribute to projects, why do maintainers even argue with people?
Welcome to the new world. People start to repeat what tech founders preach. They do not require humans in the mix. Peter Thiel gave a good example of that mindset in a (mostly) recent interview where he didn't have an answer on "Should humanity survive?"
Its too bad my boss views China as the big evil country so he wont ever make the switch to Deepseek but then proceeds to throw all our data to US companies like OpenAI or Anthropic...
>I switched to DeepSeek v4 Pro with OpenCode and am on track for a few hundred dollars of spend this month.
I was about to say that. Deepseek is just magnitudes cheaper and absolutely good enough for most things. Anthropic and co just try to milk the cow while its possible. If they cant compete with Deepseek pricing I do not see a bright future for them.
Yup has been like that for a while. Mobile-first design has been a thing for forever now and at work we often times doubt that its still worth it to even have a non mobile design.
I did, which made me come to this conclusion. You seem to think value is created by extracting money from a product, while value actually is created by the work it takes to create said product. How much money one does extract has nothing to do with a products value. In your Tailor Swift example earlier, the value was created by her recording the music, not by her selling tours.
This will not work if a attacker guesses a function signature correctly as the catch all block usually is at the bottom of the module. If you use atoms in the function signature, attackers can just guess them, even if you never intended that function to be reachable from frontend code.
That being said, I am not forced to use liveview, its just that most ressources nowadays use it.
Are you some kind of entitled corporate dev that barely has any influence on the codebase? If I fuck up a whole business goes down as I am the only dev there currently. We cant afford that happening.
Also why would I mess with anything claude.md related? I just use the CLI tool. LLM enthusiasts always claim how smart these things are so they should figure it out on their own, you know?
This is what its about, we have multiple ecom shops running 24/7 and cant simply afford downtime or a change of business flow that maybe doesnt affect shop A and B but definitely affects shop C and D...
I learned it for almost a full year by trying to build a live chat app. I went through Elixir in Action and the official guides and yet those questions were never really answered. I never said I want hundreds of thousands of processes, but thats definitely a thing you need to account for. Errors are often simply swallowed.
