When you get outside the scope of a cruddy app, they fall apart. Trouble is that business only see crud until we as developers have to fill in complex states and that's when hell breaks loose because who tought of that? Certainty not your army of frontend and backend engineers who warned you about this for months on end.....

The future will be of broken UIs and incomplete emails of "I don't know what to do here"..

Our problem is that non coding stakeholders produce garbage tiers frontend prototypes and expect us to include whatever garbage they created in our production pipeline! Wtf is going on? That's why I'm polishing my resume and getting out of this mess. We're controlled by managers who don't know Wtf they're doing.

It seems like investors have bought into the idea that llms has to improve no matter what. I see it in the company I'm currently at. No matter what we have to work with whatever bullshit these models can output. I am however looking at more responsible companies for new employment.

What's light enough when the average user in the western hemisphere has +300gb of storage?

I'm just asking since a 512gb disk has become the standard when ordering a laptop.

When elon can't get grok ai to lie about him consistently why should the others be able to?

You're doing it wrong. Tailwind is endlessly customizable and after compilation is only kilobytes. But yes lets complain because we don't understand the tooling....
Bwoah it's almost as if react and tailwind is the bees knees ind frontend atm

They can seriously screw themselves with the rugpull they made. I reported so many bugs and helped diagnose them in the sentinel module. Seriously fuck them.
What do you do when it flags you or someone you know who's innocent? Blindly trusting these models without any verification will put innocent people in prison. Normal people don't understand why they are so confident. They're confident because they believe all the data they have is correct. I forsee a future with many faux trials because they don't understand critical thinking.
Raymond is a wizard. Read his blogs for many years and love his style and knowledge.

Depends on the amount of data really.

In America. If you work in other markets the salary is much lower. The only engineers I know who make above 100k euro are either lead or founder level.
Re:Nvidia adds native Python support to CUDA on Friday April 04, 2025 @02:00PM (#43585799)
Disagree. It's the name of the component and everyone working with it knows what capabilities it has. Perhaps you got old.
Re:Supervisors Often Prefer Rule Breakers—Up to a Point on Friday April 04, 2025 @01:46PM (#43585645)
Your argument circles back to the posters point. Knowing which rule you can break at a specific point in time. Why are you being so anal about it?

Nah. It was amazing back then.
Re:Show HN: Nue – Apps lighter than a React button on Tuesday April 01, 2025 @04:11AM (#43544091)
Rarely is that a problem with react itself. Poorly written applications exist in every flavor of language, framework and library.

I would love to know counter points instead of just down voting. I guess not being on the gravy train doesn't satisfy the paid for advertisement.

I don't understand this comment. All electronics assembling happens in Shenzhen. Be it Apple, Cisco or Microsoft. If anything this is par for the course.

What I personally would have liked to see was an EU based entity overseeing and taking responsibility for the project since neither US nor China really should be trusted with privacy these days.

No. These terms are not uniquely new.

Yes. This is a fancy electron browser.

Are respondents truthful in interviews? I found my wife using a dating application. It was very easy, I just had to widen the geography I was searching.
What data do you base that on?
Given the current US administration I don't see any respect. America wants a shining beacon on their tech and offerings while my continent Europe and others has to be painted in a worse light.
How is that related to this news? In Europe we have many potential lithium mines and in the US mines are currently being developed.
Why don't you do the legwork instead of asking rhetorical questions?

Given that the likes of workspace and zoho were born out of Microsofts monopoly. I guess you should.

Not in the context of my question. You are welcome to start your own comment thread.
Seems like jasper didn't contribute much
Re:DOJ: Google must sell Chrome, Android could be next on Monday March 10, 2025 @02:41PM (#43324208)
Breaking up workspace would hinder Google in competing with Office and Zoho

None of those are owned by Google
