The stakeholders should be held accountable to this. C level and PMs. Otherwise they just push what they believe will be better, no matter what developers say.

They are hidden behind the enormous mass of bullshit, so its much harder to find. I keep trying to find new blogs to follow and I find it very hard to do so. HN is basically the last place I can find it.

Steve Jobs will be forever be remembered as an asshole.

Brazil is trying that and getting a bad look from the USA. Can you imagine a smaller nation doing the same? What would the USA do?

The fact that people say "I've read 30 books last year" when they heard the book is absurd to me. It is a completely (and honestly quite interesting) medium. I've heard and then read a few books and the experiences are completely different. Also, one of mine biggest things for reading is to completely focus on the text, and the audio book is almost the antithesis of this, because most people like them so they can do chores/driving _and_ listen. Two completely different ways of experiencing the text.

Yeah, boiling water with lemon helps, but without it my wife has a lot more gases. One article that they tested, can't explain it properly and we have seen over and over working, I very much don't believe they did it right

The article I posted mentions they tested it and it works, but not completely.

It's a Portuguese article, but a well known thing in Brazil to leave them in water https://www.nationalgeographicbrasil.com/ciencia/2024/10/voc...

The alt tab implementation on macos is awful.

When doing college we can only start using those tools when we understand the principles behind them.

Executives always justify their own bizarre salary by saying that they make the decisions, but they never lose their position when those decisions are shit. They fire a bunch of developers and "refocus" like this article. The labor, who probably were against a bunch of this shit in the first place, take the blame.

Are you equating covid to the common cold? If so, this comment is absurd.

Yeah, this is bizarre that we just accepted.

"oh, we get so much content that we can't possibly review it all" then don't accept anymore content from anyone?

Honestly, the fact that these companies are too big is a big big concern. We should have limited their size long ago and never accepted that bullshit excuse.

Only a small handful of people will do something like that. For most people, losing people is a nonstarter

Because it's a fucking great book.

Books aren't made just from concepts. It's a great exploration of human concepts and interactions.

> f you want to write good fantasy, it helps a lot to include: Huge exploding fireballs. Cool-looking protagonists mastering the battlefield with confidence and style. World-altering stakes.

Maybe for people that don't subscribe to this, something a bit less... Action-y makes it more interesting.

I think it feels like shit, tbh. That's my biggest problem with it. The feedback on moment to moment is longer than building by myself and the almost there but not there sucks. Also, like the article states, waiting for the LLM is so fucking boring.

Every single time. Where are these developers? Orms are a god send 98% of the time. Sure, write some SQL from time to time, but the majority of the time just use the ORM.

This also makes labor laws much less effective because the companies move countries to avoid them.

I think labor is worried about a bunch of practical things that the Democrats didn't know how to communicate and Trump did.

Did he mislead them? Yes but honestly, so did a lot of Democrats.

All that to say, yes, but Capital has a lot more resources available to mess with people's head.

Claiming that all of these would not exist without VC is hard to believe.

Yeah, this is a deliberate choice to make labor less powerful. Capital is willing to be less efficient for that. He does touch upon this by saying that Capital wants every worker to be replaceable.

I feel like this is basically what the Rails world does. Sidekiq handles a lot of this for you and it's honestly an amazing tool.

It does rely on redis, but it's basically the same idea.

I think you are being reductive on your original comment. The idea of cycling planning and implementation is nothing new, and quite used on the other disciplines. Saying that agile is the problem is misguided and pointing to other engineering disciplines for "they do it better" is usually a sign that you don't talk to those engineers.

Of course we can plan things better, but implementation does inform planning and vice versa and denying that is denying reality.

I find it weird that you are not DV since the stuff you list here has caused a lot of issues for a lot of people _and_ things have gotten much much worse. The internet is so much more prevalent than it was 15 years ago. The danger is much higher.

The idea of having nothing to do is absurd, child safety is and should be a parent primary concern. Roblox is basically gambling, it puts kids as targets for predators and makes them addicted to several things.

Reading a comment on a news story like this is very very frustrating.

Nonsense. I know and talk to multiple Engineers all the time and they all envy our position of continuing to fix issues in the project.

Mechanical engineers having to work around other component failures all the time because their lead time is gigantic and no matter how much planning they do, failures still pop-up.

The idea that Software Engineering has more bugs is absurd. Electronic engineers, mechanical, electric, all face similar issues to what we face and normally don't have the capacity to deploy fixes as fast as we do because of real world constraints.

That isn't a reasonable response because governments can't be changed in a whim and aren't controlled by a single person, two good things.

I lost power for 10h in my city recently and it was a big fucking deal. The last 5 years that's the first time that happened. I would say I have less than a hour of downtime per year in the other years

PS I don't live in the US.

The idea that an AI can keep the authors voice just means it is so unoriginal that it doesn't make a difference.
