I think it's like expanding your worldview by talking to intelligent people. Both persons in such an interaction enrich themselves this way, imo
Re:What my dad taught me about AI coding in the 90s on Sunday August 30, 2026 @01:11PM (#49500569)
I disagree. A chess engine has a very well defined goal and is working its patterns to reach that goal.

In software development, except in a minority of cases, the goal is being set by non-technical people, who have no clue how the resulting system should end up, only what it should look like to a user. I think a well-versed programmer can give the AI direct instructions on how to implement something, and just let the LLM write the code to implement/refactor the infrastructure behind the feature they're developing. For me the plan mode of Claude Code is (anecdote incoming) much faster(TM) and better(TM) if I give it concrete instructions - then it writes the plan, asks questions - and then implements it. Very little complaints after that (I usually don't let Claude do any sort of visual QA)

Damn, I did not know you need a VM for Docker on macOS. That's kind of ironic, isn't it XD

Every day I wake up and thank the universe for MS making WSL2

I know it is Meta-owned and is just as algorithmic, but Threads is a breath of fresh air in terms of access - the website is pratically the same in terms of UX as the app, and it does not require an account to browse at all. Just thought it'd be worth mentioning.

The LLM they used to create this does not care for loading bars XD

It says 'Apple Inc' in the bottom left, and there's a link to the Apple Maps T&Cs.
Honestly, Resolve isn't that difficult, especially if you're OK with watching some tutorials to get used to it. It's certainly no more difficult than Premiere (for basic tasks, of course).
