You’d never get anything new or innovative if we only relied on AI for programming. The landscape for how things are done is always changing. Even in 6 months time things will be outdated and insecure.
The only jobs that were going to lose are the underpaid “You’re a programmer, I have an idea for an app, could you do it for me?” Kind of jobs. Which are always shit anyway.
Knowing your stuff is more about knowing how to learn rather than memorising how to do things exactly.
Knowing where to look to find the information you need is way more important than remembering that information because it means you can adapt to anything and programming is always changing and you’ll always be learning new stuff.
People overestimate the ability of LLMs and programming. It’s very useful at times. I use it sometimes, but I have to be very careful because your can very easily go down a rabbit hole of doing things that are VERY wrong and not industry standard with lots of issues. And if you spot them and try to get the LLM to sort it you often go round in circles in solutions that do not work.
I now mostly only use it to point me in the right direction of something I currently don’t know about, but I make a conscious effort to look at it’s sources rather than taking it’s word for it.
And the other really good use of it is for debugging errors. That I have no qualms with. Errors are usually well documented online with solutions on how to fix them so LLMs mostly know what they’re talking about with them and can point you in the right direction of sorting it out way quicker than trying to find that info yourself due to how shit search engines are now.
When I was in uni for computer science we had a few older people at the time. I myself went a little older at 21 instead of 18 but there were others, notably one even at 50-ish changing careers from nursing to computer science. I’m pretty sure they’re doing pretty good now. If you finish with knowing your stuff, employers aren’t going to care that much about your age.
Don’t always be pedantic when what was being said was still easily understood.
It’s stupid
Technically apostrophes can be used to replace omitted letters and/or sounds. So it’s not completely incorrect.
You’ve been hit by, you’ve been struck by…
Or the old saying “Dead on Arrival”
Lines of code and amount of commits is not and will never be a good barometer on the quality of someone’s coding abilities.
I live in the UK. I’m already watched by cctv in public almost at all times, I’m not bothered by people seeing what I do.
Once this starts affecting me is lonely what will push me to other Crowder’s I’ve never felt the need to leave chrome. I have a lot of Google related services and products so it would be hypocritical of me to draw an arbitrary line at browsers but not the rest, because personally i don’t care about tracking and whatnot cause it’s mostly just to serve targeted ads and I don’t see them for the most part so I don’t care, gimme all your cookies. But if I stay seeing ads again more prominently and there’s no workaround, then I’m out. Moving on.
What you on about?
When people say x86 as a platform it includes x64 too
Don’t TPMs just deal with cryptography code the same way a SIM card does for a phone? If you have one, What’s wrong with using it?
But doesn’t that tie third party stores to the play store more?
But third party stores are already allowed and supported on Android?
I’ve never enjoyed Firefox, don’t know why but it’s just never felt better for me. Whether it be looks or something else, dunno
I miss writing in clojure. I never have a reason to write in a functional language at work
Where’s the final panel where you find out it’s been abandoned and nobody else wants to work on it
