> I'm not even going to respond to this ridiculousness.
Why is it ridiculous? If you have electronic access to something of value and broadcast that fact on the internet, you’re at risk of a physical attack. That’s not controversial? Companies make employees do training about this for a reason.
It remains unclear to me why my ability to read and review code (the majority of my job for years now) will atrophy if I continue doing it while writing even less code than I was before.
If my ability to write code somehow atrophies because I stop doing it, does that matter if I continue with the architecture and strategy around coding?
The act of writing code by hand seems to be on a trajectory of irrelevance, so as long as I maintain my ability to reason about code (both by continuing to read it and instruct tools to write it), what’s the issue?
Edit to add: the vast majority of the code I’ve worked on in my career was not written by me. A significant portion of it was not written by someone still employed by my employer. I think that’s true for a lot of us, and we all made it work. And we made it work without modern coding assistants helping out. I think we’ll be fine.
Everywhere I’ve ever worked, there was always some way to access a production system even if it required multiple approvals and short-lived credentials for something like AWS SSM. If the user has access, the agent has access, no matter how briefly.
Exactly, if you’re already doing it for Postgres and Postgres can do the job well enough to meet your requirements, you’re only adding more cost and complexity by deploying Redis too.
I have a family member with an uncommon (1/1000) genetic condition. The only doctor they have ever been to that didn’t google it in the exam room with us was the PI of a study on the condition.
The best part is they always immediately start badly explaining it to us like we’ve never heard of it either.
Between that and having concerns repeatedly dismissed before we secured a diagnosis has sincerely changed my view of Dr. Google.
Lowering prices would also disincentivize anyone to sell their house, sort of like the recent, relatively high interest rates. Those undesirable rates have not applied significant downward pressure on prices because they’re simultaneously exerting downward pressure on the volume of houses available for sale. No one wants to sell their low rate house for a higher one.
