I would agree with you, but you took such a shitty way to formulate that, that you probably won’t get anyone at your side

Problem solving, from simple to hard. I did a lot of stuff on Codewars, and moved from trivial stuff to more complex in course of a few months. It’s not like I got really far, but for me it’s motivation problem, not a method problem

It’s good security - nobody wants to touch feces

Kiki all the way!

Sounds like a perfect thing to fail - like flossing every day twice

Please, don’t. If you don’t have a direct doctor’s recommendation, any “I think I will start using drugs because I think I will feel better” is just wrong

so, “so far” doesn’t worry you?

I play on desktop with a big 4k tv, and I have 2060 super. So in 4k, I don’t expect really high fps for everything, but 60p is a staple, if I don’t have it, I will start killing graphic settings, otherwise it’s just not worth it

Wait, this is about GTA6? 30 fps for the biggest release of 2026?

Same - at 42, I feel alright with my 25 yo colleagues. Getting wasted together in hotels after conferences might have taken it’s role, but this is a clessic way to break walls, so I’m not cheating!

Fable was “just ask and get it done” quality level, but really I don’t get THAT much bugs - about the same amount that I see irl developers do: get a new feature, find 5 problems, get them fixed, find one more, done. As a recommendation - try to alleviate the biggest problems that ai models have:

• overconfidence - skipping wrong stuff “because they have a note saved that it works” or losing the point where they stopped after a session broke, then making things up. Test Driven Development solves the majority of problems like that - when Claude writes tests first, then it’s not able to bullshit me that the job is done when “everything is red”
• even with large contexts, they run out and stuff gets lost. So if you’re not doing something really compact, make your ai document everything, document the feature they are working on now, make it then offload it to permanent doc when that piece is finished. When the ai will fuck up next time, you can tell it to “go read some docs” and most of the times it will work

Yeah, so if you are a senior dev, the easy work just disappears? Like if you are an experienced carpenter, you will never have to drive nails again, because that’s too easy!

“Sounds”? You are an expert in measuring value by vague comments?
Okay:

• The expense splitting app I made for myself, my friends, and maybe other people (no ide if it will be picked up), after I was managing a giant spreadsheet of our new year’s trip costs. Now my app calculates everything, of any complexity, and it is used.
• The stock trading site has everything that I need from a stock trading site (to look for opportunities to buy), but I needed 3 or 4 before
• The weather app I made not because there’s not enough weather apps, but because each and every app wants your data for 1000s of their partners, so I made my own thing that shows weather.
  If it’s not real life value, then I don’t know

Again, in a corporate setting I see that the “generated stuff” is being read before being approved. And in my private setting I’m working on my projects for myself, I’m not “stealing the productivity”, I obtained productivity. All my life I was coming up with ideas, planning, and managing, but having something on my own wasn’t possible - I can’t hire a dev team. Now I am my team, I’m empowered.

We just had pretty much the samw in Copenhagen (I don’t have a photo though, and yours is great!)

Oh no, Madonna is a human!

Most of the younger generation devs at my company are using ai coding - mostly for said gruntwork (like writing small functions, api methods, writing what data they want to see instead of complex sql requests), but some are more enthusiastic and use heavier agentic setups. The best validation is that we still have old-school human pull request reviews (enforced by a scary Chief R&D) and if your colleague would see something unreadable or weird, your stuff wouldn’t pass.
I’m a Product Manager and I have several pet products now - all pretty viable (depending on the time I invested in each of course). A stocks website, a money splitting android app (now passing google play review), a weather app. All working, and I have really low coding skills myself

It is really sad that people who wanted to raise awareness about the fuckupidness of the environment, backed out of the event. They would get a good press and some iral posts with sweaty people at the event

I just look at the bottom of a closed carton first - if there’s a crack it is rare that it didn’t leak

There’s no Communism in either of the places
