Given the audience here, I think an adjacent analogy would be “if we were to understand tech today, do we always go back to the beginning of tech?”
Then the answer is more clear as yes and no. Obviously much of our tech today adapts to modern innovations and standards, but it would not be hard to quickly find examples where even the most cutting edge tech are still being affected by the earliest decisions or natural limitations.
Agreed. If it's "digital", it will be used for elite power plays, because it's too easy. How else could you mass control/analyse/manipulate millions of people instantly? Digital, digital, digital...
This is a surprise. And they still haven't included corepack as an official instruction on the nodejs.org download page. Is corepack a failed experiment?
Exactly! I’ve noticed a resounding amount of people are writing the same pieces recently, it’s almost like everyone’s sounding their alarm for the upcoming tsunami. Who’s listening? Here’s my piece: https://humantodo.dev
I can see how some high-paced teams might see HUMANTODO as speed bumpers in their environments. To that, I say this will be a conscious choice, and a trade-off teams are willing to experiement to see if the intentional slow-down will improve quality over time.
But yeah, give HUMANTODO a go, and I might add examples (blog/videos/etc) of how this actually works and integrates within real life projects.
Amidst this turbulent time in our industry, I had this idea: what if we applied the "IKEA effect" instead of relying on the "Coding is dead" extremes.
So I spent the weekend working on this concept, and built this site to demonstrate why I think it could be useful in navigating the confusions and anxiety around the usage of AI.
Just been through several frontend interviews in the last few months, where it's clear that they still judge a developer's JS skills (especially React) than being semantically correct on HTML elements.
Every question/exercise is centred around how well you know React hooks, effect, memoization, modern css-in-js etc. Given I've been working with Astro recently, in one interview I talked about DOM APIs and I can see the interviewer raise an eyebrow. In later stage, even I that passed the exercises, still didn't get the job.
