News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

ralphael

disagree, I think however it was written, it conveys some interesting thoughts on the gap between User AI generated MVP apps and the process of making them production ready.
this - I'm wondering why this isn't getting picked up more in the analysis? Its an accounting trick, which is not sustainable. Time will tell.
Re:Observability 2.0 and the Database for It on Friday April 25, 2025 @11:30AM (#43794636)
Thanks to all who commented, I learnt a lot from just reading the comments.
I love SimCity, never forget the first time I played it on an Amiga 500.

Then one day my friend lent me his 512KB ram upgrade and it was a different game :-)

I love locust.io and looking at the features that this adds, I look forward to adding it to my toolbox.
It actually produces the exact opposite, my observation from experience is:

Some people will now work the system and want to be made redundant, by doing the minimum possible.

Good people will leave for other opportunities.

This takes months/years to fix/heal. The fixing process is reset every time you do a new round of lay offs.

No need to apologise, a polite "I ran X which solves Y" related to the post is encouraged. Helps the rest of us learn about other solutions out there :-)

Will checkout OpenContext, thanks for the link

Re:Ask HN: Anyone having issues with job applicant fraud? on Thursday September 01, 2022 @05:41AM (#32674113)
I've found that candidates have little or non appetite for take home problems.

If they are busy interviewing, putting aside 2-3 hours (which is not much really) per interview, limits how many they are willing to do per week. As its still a candidate driven market.

Keep in mind, people have to find the spare time while doing their jobs and living life. If they have a family - good luck finding spare time :-)

The best win/win I've found is to pair with someone for about 30 minutes. You help each other, just like you do in real life.

Its called "Instant Messaging" :-) So I think the expectation is built into the name, even if you don't agree.

"Success is finding a path forward among the options that actually exist."

..just so simple and elegant, particularly given the rise in hindsight and purely principle focussed cultures, that are developing in tech.

...actually, its people who did not fill up last week and now have no choice.
Coffeezilla does a great job at exposing these scams too: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFQMnBA3CS502aghlcr0_aw
..this right here. No error checking, inadequate testing, no reconciliation process.

Excel is used extensively in many industries. Any file could be cut off in processing by any number of reasons, one off errors for e.g.

So the solution is to "fix" the process by using the existing broken process and smaller files....

Re:When you browse Instagram and find Tony Abbott's passport number on Wednesday September 16, 2020 @03:27AM (#24490333)
I couldn't stop laughing.

His skills at hacking are only matched by his wit at writing.

Re:Why Write ADRs on Thursday August 13, 2020 @05:03PM (#24149103)
so what would the experience be for someone new joining the project, particular if you have many repositories? having to search across numerous repositories? In practice I've found this (source control commit messages as ADR's) doesn't work. Unless I have mistaken what you have said? I just keep a repository for ADR's, which can then be published to a wiki or else where.

thanks for sharing mate, great to know what was going on behind the scenes during this time.
Looks nice, what does it do that something like draw.io doesn't?

Re:Performance Tuning for .NET Core on Tuesday January 15, 2019 @06:10PM (#18916587)
I agree but in the context of the article, I believe the classes being sealed aren't meant to be overridden.

If the author has spent time optimising to that level, overriding probably isn't necessary or warranted in that area.

Re:Performance Tuning for .NET Core on Tuesday January 15, 2019 @06:06PM (#18916562)
I agree, by using var you need to name your variable better therefore making your code more readable. Rather than relying on the interface/class definition to explain to someone why you used "obj".
