I love the concept! It's too damn fast though. I want to see my cursor change to busy when waiting for IO

Indeed. On further reflection, it may say something that she was compelled to write such a piece defending her husband instead of telling others to mind their own damn business

Yeah, it is complicated because we do live in a very misogynistic civilization with patriarchal privileges. It’s just often difficult not to overcompensate to counterbalance and resist these circumstances. Treat people as individuals instead of the archetypes.

> Why did companies seek 10x ninja rockstar coders and subject them to leetcode interviews—surely, a junior fresh out of college could churn out something if it's so easy?

Because companies resent that they have to take on risk and pay people to extract value from the market.

Ugh, why do we have to pay people to code, maintenance, etc. Lets pay people to extract more value for our bonuses and shareholders. Lets try to only hire heavyweights so that we don't get hung up on that difficult-to-measure coding process, knowledge transfer, messy human-ness. Oooh how nice, we can hire a fewer employees that know how to leverage code agents that free them up to think about that what REALLY matters...

it's Q*bert!

I donno man, i just want to drive my gondola thing and help fish “get high.” Glorious

Costco is popular in Japan as well. I also think about the bike infra[0] to Ikea in Netherlands— a similar store that may be more associated with car/suburban culture.

Speaking of interesting SD card features-- it would be nice to have a way to have the sd card expire. Like if it doesn't get voltage for a duration of time: it self erases.

Sounds like the aforementioned rockstar dev may have found their way to comment and miss the point.

When I was less self aware, I'd say similar things: my coworkers/manager can't accept that I write perfectly good code at a faster pace. Doesn't matter whether it's good or bad code-- the coworkers have to collectively understand it in order for it to be maintainable.

Still learning myself, but I've seen MCP tools just lightly wrap upstream json-body REST APIs. Works. But not only is the json structure more tokens but often the model just needs a small subset of fields in the payload.

My H1B coworker has paid $180k more in taxes than I have. We are the same age. He has fewer years working in USA than I have as a citizen. We calculated this by the data exposed by the mySocialSecurity website.

I get to vote and he does not.

Edit: s/green card/H1B/

Oh, I WISH that was the case but I'd estimate only 10% of SWE would fit your model of minimum competence... and yeah a lot of that 10% are browsing HN. I recall in 2016 asking coworkers why they voted trump. "My 401k" was a frequent answer.

Vibe coding existed long before AI, especially in web/startup/enterprise information systems. You don't need to be a critical thinker to make a successful RoR app.

Yeah, it is an interesting bubble to be in. I worked with a company that could not keep up with the rising SWE salaries and thus attracted a different kind of SWE. I definitely felt the difference in education with the new hires. Reading comprehension/attention was weak. AI will easily replace them, I guess.

Finding the data on this would be convenient but its still unclear to me. I'm not a fan of how that article from NU cites its sources loosely, including lazily citing Wikipedia.

Let us all reflect on AI with a core point this article is trying to make: that we build habits around a product. The industry goal is to have our dependency. What a fabulous position to be in where we can’t think or code without a subscription their LLM assets.

A tiresome sysadmin I've been talking to is under the impression of: "well, if <open-core-saas> stagnates or otherwise shifts focus away from our interests then someone will just fork it, duh!" .. when glancing thru Discord successors

I’m interested to know the etymology and history of the term. Somehow I imagine an inked printing press as the “wet run.”

I've been glancing at ytdl-sub, which does the same thing but with interesting options to rate limit.

I have seen organizers get stuck in the dopamine loop of focusing on inspiring content that "increases engagement" and getting fixated on moderating trolls that it actually gets in the way of doing impactful work. I definitely on the depression train on this front. It's far worse than digital versions of flyers, people aren't incentivized to focus show up when they can just keep scrolling for their fix.

I concur and "apolitical" is probably not the best word. I think it is an attempt to convey that the platform can't ban people. It is resistant from infrastructure censorship. Here is an example specific use case:

I find that example pretty humorous... Damn, what kind of controversy is Pamela spreading?

I like it but feel nervous that there is synergy with the bitcoin space. Hype and validation is thick in that space

I agree. Except we aren't there with web literacy and having that integrated UX is significant.

Is there a spreadsheet out there benchmarking local LLM and hardware configs? I want to know if I should even bother with my coffeelake xeon server or if it is something to consider for my next gaming rig.

Thanks for shedding some light on this element of the story. I like to keep references like this when mustering support for action.

What does bipartisan even mean? I've seen my state lose a republican congressperson who, while I disagreed with, called out trump on disrespecting branches of gov during first term and since been replaced with a pro-trump congressperson. The checks and balances are eroding and the citizen response has to be strong.

thanks for the tip! At a glance, the SafeLine looks very opaque.. not clear why it starts up so many docker containers and how they are built. I can appreciate that bunkerweb illustrated its architecture a bit more with their docs and descriptive image names.... E.g. `bunkerweb-scheduler` vs `safeline-luigi`

I'll have to check it out! The popular option for homelab or other indie scale is to just use the cloudflare's free-tier setup, which includes WAF, but I see a privacy hole where cloudflare needs to see your unencrypted HTTP traffic so that they can apply their WAF rules.

I've also been checking out CrowdSec. I appreciate it's modular architecture but it definitely deviates away from the folks that just wants to expose an HTTP service and get on with their lives. I've enjoyed the Caddy server for this reason, but yeah, not as secure-as-default when it comes to attacks a WAF would mitigate.

> 5. If a particular function doesn't fit anywhere, create a new module (or class or component) for it and you'll find a home for it later.

I worked at a place that did this with their frontend app. Devs rarely knew where anything should go and so for any given Component/Module, there was usually some accompanying `MyComponent.fns.ts` file. Homes were NEVER found for it later. Code duplication through the nose and lots of spaghetti coupling.

Edit: i'm definitely blowing off some steam. That said, I think there is good virtue in this "habit" so long as there is good reason that it "doesn't fit anywhere" ... and when another module starts referencing the temporary home module, it is a smell that the time is now to give it a proper home.

Looks nice! Something I'd want in front is some sort of basic app firewall like fail2ban or CrowdSec to ban vuln scanners and other intrusion attempts. It is a nice thing about Cloudflare since they provide some of this protection.

A lot of value to this wisdom. That said, individuals can have a different kind of brain and carrot/stick equation. For me, the only time I felt whole was when I was only working 20 hrs a week as a freelance dev and I took a lot of breaks/vacation. Made half of what I could be making as a salaried employee but I had the space to build the rest of my life to feel whole. Kept my dream space nice, not dreaming about code or work.

I doubt such thing is sustainable in average software dev gigs but I'll keep trying.

Ya, I'm in a similar situation. I burn out every 1-2 years. This time I'm finding that I may be autistic/neurodivergent. The equation is very different for me and I have to start approaching it a bit differently what I look for in a (dev) job. The advice I've read in these sort of threads don't always resonate with me; we are all different kinds of people. Some people are much more tolerant of the vast sea of grindy dev jobs. There's gotta be something more interesting out there, the harder "more interesting" problems that are worth spending 30+hrs a week on. Leave the basic stuff for the basic people and everybody can be happy.

Joining a neurodivergent support group has been great; meet some similar minds.

At least in my experience, while I am good at text/email communication: my co workers were not. I feel like being a full remote company crippled us in terms of engineering quality. We have more of a license to be left alone and that sucks when we actually do need to coordinate with our coworkers. Easier to just not coordinate and tune out the notifications.

All said, maybe it is a larger issue and working from the office is just addressing symptoms that are more apparent when going remote. Are we really missing out on those water cooler talks or is there a missing information/management role. I think of how I've had the conversations with other teams around the occasional virtual water cooler "oh, you're building a microservice to do that... so are we.... why are we building the same microservice?"

I like the idea and want a software tool that helps me write STE as a hobbyist. It's not the first time I've found friction with ESL folks with some of my vocabulary.

Looks like there are some here https://www.techscribe.co.uk/techw/asd-simplified-technical-...
