supaflybanzai··on How to keep enjoying programming in a world of LLMs
I kind of agree. But I think LLMs just make it way worse than Sprint boot, enterprise middleware or anything similar ever could.

And I still very much like using LLMs for certain things. I do not miss Googling for hours to compile the right information.

Is it really that hard to understand?

Same people that make clothes for fun usually do not work at sweatshops.

Some bakers started baking as a hobby, got really good at it, and then better tools and profit margins came about. Now they were forced to make low quality bread at work for 8 hours straight every day and seeing 90% of their colleagues that they considered pretty good bakers actually be fine with it.

How exciting do you think those bakers are to bake more bread at home after they go though slopping bread at work? How enthusiastic are they still about their hobby after a few years or a decade?

Wow, so nice to hear some people actually experimenting with not just mainstream stuff.

Where do you work (if it is not a secret)?

supaflybanzai··on Rare video of Cloudlfare firing an employee
I can’t be the only person in their late 30s that just a few years ago still had a tony bit of hope of someday working for a FAANG or some other amazing company like CloudFlare. And the longer I postponed the decision to actually prepare and apply the more it became clear that these companies are not what we thought they (anymore?).

Thanks to this wonderful person I can now rule out another company I will not even consider working for.

And if that wonderful person os reading this by any chance, I wish you all the best going forward, you seem like a you would be a great addition to any team.
