I've seen these mysterious and unexplained 503s occur

Solution:

1. Delete Function App

2. Deploy again

3. Profit?

Nuclear doesn't have a great record in other countries either. I might have the wrong figures but Hinkley Points C is over 2 times over budget and likely to be 5+ years late.

The exemption being France and maybe China?

France did a programme of nuclear power stations rather than the 1 or 2 offs that seem to be the norm elsewhere and that seems to have worked pretty well.

I'd be surprised if HPC is competitive with solar + wind + BESS when it comes online but I could well be wrong

> Beyond the obvious chatbots and coding copilots, curious what people are actually shipping with LLMs.

We're delivering confusion and thanks to LLMs we're 30% more efficient doing it

> you can get 80-90% of the way there in a minute or two with AI assistance.

That just leaves the other 80-90% to do manually ;)

I haven't really done any c# for 5+ years. What has changed?

I remember trying to effectively reverse-engineer a codebase (code available but nobody knew how it worked) with a lot of DI and it was fairly painful.

Maybe it was possible back then and I just didn't know how ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

> I think performance under pressure is a virtue. An important job is never going to be entirely free from stress - you want somebody reliable who will take that in their stride, you don't want someone who will buckle when things get difficult.

Some people experience extraordinary high levels of stress in an interview setting. From your comment, I suspect that you are not one of them and might have trouble imagining what these levels of stress feel like.

I don't know, maybe things are different in the UK but I'd say that about 50% of the job ads I see have a salary range.

Is there any point in applying for a job without a good idea that they can match your salary expectations?
