One of the things that's curious to me about developers who became super AI pilled is how many of them have their agents build for the tech stack they used prior to AI–even when they don't review the generated code
Why stick with JS/Ruby/P…
I found Go painfully verbose when I first tried it a couple of years back, but since then I've found my TypeScript code inching more and more towards Go idioms. Here's to hoping I don't end up fighting with the language too much as I jump …
I've largely put coding side projects on hold for the last couple of years for various reasons, but I'm starting to dig into them again. After years of PHP, JS, Python and Ruby, I've decided that my default language will be Go unless there…

That one obscure thing you spent two days researching? Write down everything you learned in a place that's easy to find. You're going to forget all of it by the time you actually need that information again in a year
The problem with marketers' whole "sell the benefits not the features" mantra is that it's pretty common for me to visit a software product's homepage and have literally no idea what it does
I'd like to give special acknowledgement to Qt to being the only tech company I've seen this year that doesn't mention AI _once_ on their homepage 🏆

About
Programmer because I want to be. "Software engineer" because I have to pay the bills.
Lean > Agile. Jeff Sutherland and Ken Schwaber were sent to Earth to destroy all the fun from coding. AI bros were sent to destroy any fun that remained.
