I think there is a parallel with what you say and the hate/love it produces the introduction of ai in the software process. (craftman programming vs ai slop). In the end the result depends on who is behind the process and his/her quality standards.

Re:Software Drives People Insane on Thursday September 10, 2026 @04:26PM (#49649711)
The part that the cost of changing software is unknown, ignored and fixed is not true anymore. This is a thing I realized recently.

A company cannot get free (o low cost) software changes anymore. Someone invented llms and they charge by work produced (useful or not)

So a PM cannot "save" costs by pushing. The employees will resort to their agents and there will be cost. If there is no agent, another company will beat them. So now a change has a measurable cost and even you can calculate in what was spent (agent logs)

They'll charge you extra then.

Why the plutocrats believe that the entity emerging from the singularity will side with them? Really curious

Please show the game list in random order, or starting in a random position. Just to promote the discovery of the games later in the alphabet. (Or end up with games called ______11_roguexxx, lol)

I got bored with articles trying to make some controvertial points just to grab some attention / traffic. (he says so in the article).

The OP doest't even deserve your sincere and just to the point response.

Re:Ask HN: Is Stack Overflow Dead? on Friday December 19, 2025 @11:45AM (#46327874)
Thanks, you just addressed just the points I was curious about the most.

- How will they survive?

- What happens with all those unsolved problems, those that AIs haven't found a source with the solution to scrape from?

Ask HN: Is Stack Overflow Dead?

With the explosion of AI tools in our workflows this year, I stopped using Stack Overflow and copilot.Previously, SO was an unavoidable step of my programming effort for navigating or learning new frameworks, for exploring solutions, for debugging strange cases.... But now , it has been a long while since I visited the site.Are you still using SO, reading, searching, contributing?

It´s a well done programming and music performance

I found out about slither.io here at hn. Also found out about the similar one agar.io.
Brings me back too. But what stayed stuck on my memory, was something i read here on HN: at some point, one yahoo dev added his affiliate code to the links !!

I'm reading this at the moment! but I also want to compare how well each language helps you develop concurrency solutions.

Can you recommend any other book about the same subject but different programming language? Thanks!!!
Re:Ask HN: Should we bring software dev in-house? on Thursday August 08, 2024 @11:41PM (#41198595)
I'm leading an in-house team that's developing a custom software for a niche financial institution. The original product was outsourced to a software factory, forward 2 years and they decided this project wasn't worth their time and left. I took the responsibility of moving the project forward, then with only another dev.

What worked great to me as dev?

. the direct connection with the CEO as he became a high level PO. With this arrange we were always sure that our work was giving value to the business.

. I learned a LOT about the business and loved it

. I was in charge of growing the team when the amount of work justified it. I got several wonderful devs onboard.

What worked great for the business?

. they decided and prioritized the direction of the (customized) product.

. they understood the strategic constraints and possibilities of their software

what was tough for all?

. at least the first full year, was spent killing bugs and making the project work properly. Operations needed too much support in that initial period. Stressfull times.

Starting with a pair of Senior Devs is a good choice IMHO. If you trust them, even better.

Those points I mention above that I found great, are your selling points to hire some good Developers.

I want to see the internal postmortem of why this happened to CrowdStrike (if they are still in business)
