Feeling the same. I’m guessing the folks getting good results are literally writing extremely detailed pseudocode by hand?! Like:
Write a class Person who has members (int) age, (string) first name, (string) last name…
But if you can write that detailed…don’t you know the code you want to write and how you should write it? Writing plain pseudo code feels more verbose.
But the AI coding agent can then ask you follow up questions, consider angles you may not have, and generate other artifacts like documentation, data generation and migration scripts, tests, CRUD APIs, all in context. If you can reliably do all that from plain pseudo code, that's way less verbose than having to write out every different representation of the same underlying concept, by hand.
Sure, some of that, like CRUD APIs, you can generate via templates as well. Heck, you can even have the coding agent generate the templates and the code that will process/compile them, or generate the code that generates the templates given a set of parameters.
What happened to Solid Pod? Tim Berners Lee’s project? I feel like it’s another project of this type, and even predates AT, but ever since its announcement hasn’t made much waves.
> I mean, with GUI frameworks it's pretty obvious MS is placing all their chips on WinUI3, even though they are not deprecating any legacy framework.
WinUI3 is dead, lol. I tried to migrate from UWP to WinUI3, but it is literally dead. There doesn’t seem to be any team at MS actively working on it, the community calls have died, and the last build conf didn’t have any WinUI3 talks, all AI stuff. Yes, you can build apps with WinUI3, but development and support for it has stalled and I couldn’t justify moving the companies product over to WinUI3.
> I’m a bit of a leftie, but it has been really painful for the last 10 years watching my side be the one that is actively racist and proposing systematic racism & sexism with a bare face.
Examples?
> We should be mindful that inside each of us is a significant amount of value, and under the right circumstances that can be unlocked to be great- despite any political or physiological differences.
Wouldn’t that be wonderful? But in the meantime, while we wait for the racists and sexists to become enlightened, should we not have initiatives, laws, education, to protect those who have historically been underrepresented and/or discriminated against?
We should, though you've phrased it very generically. Obviously there is a line, and actively disadvantaging those who are systemically/historically advantaged is chaos - I'm even comfortable calling it immoral. "Treating the symptom", or "brute-forcing" it, is a catastrophe in culture-sized problems.
Ideally, via cultural development, one day we can look at statistics and see that no race or gender gets more/better jobs than another. Legally demanding that it simply be the case is insane.
Apple VP stated officially as their hiring policy:
>We’ve made some changes to the way we do manager hiring … There’s two questions at the top of an offer when it goes to approval. One is that a female was interviewed and that a URE [underrepresented employee] was interviewed. And … for management positions, I have said that I won’t approve an offer unless there’s a yes next to one of those.
I don’t blame people for doing so. That’s what they have been told by recruiters to do to increase their chance of their resume not being thrown into the trash or be invisible. If there is someone to blame for this, it’s the recruiting industry.
Not you specifically, but as an industry response, that seems too pat.
The recruiters will do and react to what the hiring managers ask for. When one too many candidates slip thru who bullshit, or there is weak signal that such and such method of candidate selection seems to result in marginally stronger candidates, then everyone rushes to do that thing and it eventually becomes sludge. Leetcode interviews are a classic example.
We (individuals) get poor candidates because we (industry) encourage and reward poor recruitment practices. Time for us all to look in the mirror, honestly.
I've seen 300k salary hiring managers punching down on a recruiter making 60k who doesnt know her C# from her C++. That sort of behavior says more about the flaws of the hiring manager than the recruiter. If you never talk to the recruiter but once a year when you have budget to hire someone, never take the time to educate them on your business, well then you're going to get crappy candidates.
Yeah I don’t get it. By the time I’m done writing all these prompts to get what I want, refining over and over not to mention the waiting time for the characters to appear on the screen, I could have written what I want myself. I find LLMs more useful as a quick documentation search and for the most basic refactoring and template building.
Really? I just get garbage. Both Claude and CoPilot kept insisting that it was ok to use react hooks outside of function components. There have been many other situations where it gave me some code and even after refining the prompt it just gave me wrong or non working code. I’m not expecting perfection, but at least don’t waste my time with hallucinations or just flat out stuff that doesn’t work.
My understanding is that incognito mode just doesn’t save local browser history. Your ISP and google can still log what you search based on IP or login state.
Is the IP hidden if I search from my workplace, where there are 250 computers from several startups behind a single IP? (and it’s not a corporate computer) Granted, Google can identify browsers uniquely using fingerprinting, even with Incognito.
Definitely relevant and maybe inspirational, though I find "fight to death game show" format quite distinctive, so much so that it created its game genre 15 years later even with the same name as the movie.
