Fair response. I had assumed for many people 100/hr would replace their primary job and thus be worth the trade. If were talking measure time after your primary job, I certainly understand valuing that time even higher than your hourly rate at said job.

Curious what you do that 100/hr isn’t a good use of time, because that sounds like something I’d like to learn about.

Looks like the link was to the form builder, not the data intake side of a built form. I didn’t make one to verify that side is different though.

Communities moving to ‘chat’ based platforms instead of traditional discussion boards is something I’ve observed a lot in the last few years. Which certainly feel like a step backwards in my view. It keeps happening though, so I must he in the minority opinion on this.

Why is that? I’ve read them referred to as dark matter developers (forget where I read this, maybe a book many years ago). They’re out there, they make up a majority of the field, yet they leave no trace because they do not blog, post on SO, or back in the day forums either as questioners or answerers.

I’m don’t disagree. Good developers use the tools to do better, but its incremental not revolutionary improvements for already competent developers.

I think I could have states my opinion better. I think LLMs total value remains to be seen. They allow totally incompetent developers to occasionally pass as below average developers. Is that good or bad? I don’t know. What an average and excellent developer can do with LLM assistance is less clear. Certainly it can help those developers in some situations.

There are a LOT of superficial devs out there. You dont even have to be interviewing junior devs. Plenty of them out there at medium and senior levels. They existed before LLMs were spitting code like today, and this will undoubtedly lower the bar for bad developers to enter. It remains to be seen if this can help the gold developers in a meaningful way.

Link? I’d like to see. Always amusing to see that kind of thing.

Welcome to the Internet. Pontification is all we’ve got. Now we’ve got LLMs regurgitating the old pontifications to make new ones.

I came in with your same expectations and found the same shit. Just some opinion formed on the basis of “concern”.

Hiding a camera in person would be actively malicious if the other party doesn’t know. Having a zoom recording leaked is less actively.

I generally agree, but with robocopy they went too far with this, because the status code doesn’t work the way you expect, and you’ve got to script around it.

It’s a balance, but too many people don’t even flag it to management because they’re lazy and they write shit and ship it to get it off their own plate.

Now, if management says ship it anyway it’s a balance of you as a developer making sure they understand they’re throwing this technical debt on the credit card and it may (probably) need to be paid off later. If you fail to articulate the interest that’ll be due later then you didn’t do enough or management is bad.

You shouldt work unpaid to fix it, but sometimes you should just do it right even if it takes longer because it’s how it should be done.

I have done it as my main job and I echo your sentiment. It’s inevitable that sometimes you have to meet a deadline or get something more important working first, but if you write bad code because you are lazy or unwilling to read the docs to do it right, shame shame shame.

It took me a while to realize that me and my close circle are so far removed from what most people are doing so I could logically accept that there are people who click ads and buy the stuff.

I hate ads as much as anyone on Lemmy, so I deliberately avoid clicking the ones that slip through uBlock, but I do accept that just seeing them has some influence on me.

There are huge deaths of folks that blissfully unaware (maybe by deliberate ignorance) and just happily buy stuff that’s advertised to them.

While it’s appalling to me, it’s not even something most people consider or even care about. I don’t mean this to be gatekeepy or elitist, it’s just a different value system and that’s fine, that’s what I had to realize and that’s why ads are big business.

I’m sure there are projects covering those areas written in JavaScript.

That’s no worse than you started. The fact remains nobody is going to get 100% coverage of their contact list on the fediverse without Meta, so trading a Facebook account for a threads account is no different, and it ignores the benefits of that time when you maybe able to live without either.

Check out Avalonia. It’s like cross platform WPF. Not winforms, but still pretty good and easy to start with.

I mean, I can fix them, but not because I’m a programmer. Makes it hard for normies to understand the difference.

I don’t understand the question. Mozilla, or Firefox rather supports pwa on android, they dropped it from desktop Firefox for reasons that aren’t clear to me. I’m not sure how it would play out on iOS. I guess we’ll find out here soon enough.
