@GergelyOrosz Fair point. Having a passion for understanding how computers work at that level will be less important. I wonder what passion will be worth selecting for - probably a passion for making great products?
@GergelyOrosz I can see a world in which that is also an indicator of drive & “passion.” If you didn’t find that class interesting and end up being good at it then you might not be the kind of person they want, you know?
@chris_mccord There are now just two questions when it comes to language/runtime: 1. Do you need the kind of performance that requires manual memory management? 2. Do you need any sort of distributed state or computation?
@imann04 @GergelyOrosz The other important thing, though, is that most developers (often especially the best ones) don’t yet know how to use these tools well. That will take some time for sure. You won’t immediately get the quality you want until you spend some time learning how to get it.
@imann04 @GergelyOrosz It won’t replace exceptional individuals quite yet, but for like 80% of developers out there this is the right call. I wouldn’t vibe code flight control software for sure, but when used well by smart folks I find it outperforms smart folks on their own.
@GergelyOrosz @imann04 The comparison we should be making isn’t the absolute 80-90%. We should be saying “how much better or worse is it than the status quo,” and I’d bet it’s already better than we humans used to do on our own (on average, of course). We can’t ignore our own mistakes in the math here.
@derrickreimer We recently added some rules to say “no more agent written comments.” It then started writing _novels_ in moduledoc strings. It just keeps finding a way to generate mountains of prose!
@GergelyOrosz You’re not allowed to move a music stand or a chair at Carnegie Hall if you’re not in the union. It’s pretty wild.
Another new post, this time about the challenges of managing teams delivering “invisible” software: devonestes.com/software-thats…
@SaffronOlive They usually do a really big secret lair at the end of the year, like last year’s Encyclopedia. Could be that.
@GergelyOrosz We’ve been looking for designers who can create design systems that serve as generalized guidance and can work within our AI toolsets instead of having to design each thing we make. Basically, design’s job is now about creating design systems and not individual designs.
I’ve started writing again, but as my job has changed a lot in the last 5 years, that means my writing will as well. Still, I hope people find value in it. devonestes.com/accepting-inco…
@davydog187 Yeah, I remember all too well…
@davydog187 I just don’t know why some folks get pissed that hammers can’t screw in screws. Like, that’s not the hammer’s fault. It’s your fault for picking up the wrong tool.
@allenwyma @josevalim Yep - we’re building and working with hardware. One of the rare things we can’t do remotely.
We’re hiring for my team in Berlin - come work with me! grnh.se/ncny3822teu
@BenS_MTG 15 year software engineer here. If you need a regular release schedule, never plan for Mondays because of how many three-day weekends there are throughout the year. Tuesday is actually the best day for this. Annoying for us players, but an unfortunate reality for software teams.
@GergelyOrosz @ericjeker While I may not save time in the actual production of code, I most certainly am more productive in all the other parts of the job. Documentation, writing good commit messages, thinking through complex interactions of state machines to find gaps, finding missing tests, etc.
