This is such a good write-up and something I'm struggling with very hard. Does quality of code in the traditional sense even matter anymore if e.g. CC can work with said code anyway. I haven't had imposter's in a long time, but it's spiking hard now. Whenever i read or write code I feel like I'm an incompetent dev doing obsolete things.

What's more likely is that a significant number of people will start having most/all of their meaningful interactions with AI instead of with other people.

Doesn't work where I live, is the block on a country level?

Having worked with cvs and svn, git has been an absolute blast.

That said, the first thing I do now in a repo is jj init --colocate. The fact alone that there is an operation log in jj, so you can easily revert your last command, or go back to any point you want, is mind blowing coming from git and having experienced frantically digging through the reflog.

But that aside, the way to work with branches ahem bookmarks, commits, conflicts, just makes so much sense in a world where simultaneous feature branches are a thing.

It's happening on a different level as well. More and more developers are moving from the US to popular startup hubs in Europe, e.g. Amsterdam, Copenhagen. They were often higher up in the FAANG chain, so they are immediately quite high up where the arrive, and they are bringing the American culture with them. E.g. what do you mean you're taking a month of holiday, or what do you mean, you're staying at home with your wife to take care of your baby. And yes, you have a right to that, but it's different to take that time when you feel it's accepted or frowned upon.

> that all the other brands have a mandatory inspection from the manufacturer before the cars will be tested by the independent check.

I'm in Europe. Never heard of mandatory inspection before independent checks. How would that even work, or be enforced.

If I understand correctly, what this project does is take the actual postgresql sources, which are written in C, compile them to wasm and provide typescript wrappers. So you need the wasm to be able to use the C code from js/ts.

There is a very loud part of HN that strongly dislikes mozilla/firefox. It's disproportionate imo, I don't understand why they're singled out so often.

From what I've seen in my direct circle, childhood trauma leaves deep deep traces, and not in a good way. The idea that childhood trauma encourages growth to me sounds like pull yourself up by your bootstraps kind of rhetoric.

Am I missing something here? 4chan is available in the UK so has to follow UK laws there, where is the problem? Regardless of whatever it is they are enforcing.

Gaming on linux has been awesome for years. With the advent of systems like bazzite, the transition is only getting easier.

In Belgium we have a service called "itsme". Had it for ages, works very well, used to be mainly for government but banks are also switching to it.

Enemy country in the current geopolitical climate is an interesting take. Doesn't sound like a great idea to me tbh.

> Anyone shipping code in a professional setting doesn't just push to prod after 5 people say LGTM to their vibe coded PR, as much as we like to joke around with it.

I can guarantee this is happening in a lot of companies right now. Any company where there is pressure to use AI tools + pressure to get faster results it's inevitable.

My observation is most people who mix up C and C++ use neither. How could you even automatically migrate when a lot of things you do in C++ are straight up illegal. Not to mention relying on third-party software like Qt.

Open the cc1plus or ld "internal binaries" to be even more confused ;)

Isn't this already done? I remember a "try to hack the llm" game posted here months ago, where you had to try to get the llm to tell you a password, one of the levels had a sanitzer llm in front of the other.

The one that bites me daily is in keeper. The web UI opens with icons collapsed, expanding after ?500ms?, right about when I want to click on a category to expand it, thus collapsing it again.

> So using LLMs as a junior you are just breaking my trust, and we both know you are not a competent reviewer of LLM code - why am I even dealing with you when I'll get LLM outputs faster myself ? This was my experience so far.

So much this. I see a 1000 lines super complicated PR that was whipped up in less than a day and I know they didn't read all of it, let alone understand.

The regularly flood youtube with advertisments for chrome, I've yet to see my first youtube ad for firefox.
