I’ve recently spent a lot of time learning about coding agents and the techniques they use, and I wrote an introductory article aimed at complete beginners.

Same here. I have been reading this site for 10 years and even though it got a bit worse, it's still the best source out there. Keep it up everyone.

It's simple when the AI is trained on the answers.
Great stuff :D I traveled too much between the ages 10-20 and I would have loved a site like this :D

I feel the same. For me the learning is the enjoyable part, and building a 1000th TODO app or a mediocre blog does not appeal to me. Although I'd like to have a blog and it would be great if I had some examples of the frameworks I've learnt, it's not something that I'll spend my time on.

You are mixing things up: It's possible to get fired on the spot in EU as well. You'd most likely receive a generous package but it can happen.
Keep doing your best, learn everything you can, then decide where to take your career.

This was quite underwhelming, even for a dumb advertisement with spelling errors.

>"A lazy programmer writes a lot of tests, so QA junks do not waste their time."

I'm really trying to wrap my head around this sentence, but it just doesn't make sense. Also please just don't talk down to QA like that.

0/10, this site actively makes me not want to work there.

Re:Thank HN: You helped me get a new job on Thursday January 16, 2020 @06:50AM (#22063664)
Great post, thank you for sharing.
What is this madness? Is this a tech article? Is this what good content looks like on the internet? Is React racist? Do people simply spend too much time on twitter?

I have so many questions and hope to never have to answer any of them.

I have been doing the same cycle over the past few years. In 2019 I decided to not start anything new, only finish what I've started. So far I finished 1 thing (an article, got 1k claps on Medium, feels good), and started a new one with a friend :) I'll probably only have time to finish one more thing this year, but it's ok, at least I'll have something to show.

What an awful made-up story. I wish I did some actual work instead.
