It's very nerve-racking for people who like to have a deep understanding of everything they ship. A modernization project that would take you 2 months now can be done in a week or less because you don't need to go deep into the business logic to replicate it and instead you can just focus on designing the boundaries and interfaces properly. Then like the article mentions, just create a good test harness to test parity as much as you can. I was feeling very conflicted about this myself, but then I thought: I have these other systems I have to maintain on a daily basis and I also don't understand the internals and business logic that well because I wrote them years ago and haven't changed much. I just rely on the test suite if something needs to be changed or the code structure if I need to see how something in particular works.

I guess that's why confirmation bias is also listed?

You should use seconds to make it even more dramatic

Well clearly not everyone is saying it's a bubble (you maybe?) so I don't know where that leaves us. Also, IIRC there are massive lawsuits underway so there's definitely people doing s.th. about it

At least you didn't go with electricity or the internet. Respect.

Love the confidence. The logic can catch up later.

Could this be the start of the AI bubble bursting? There are so many rumors going around about data centers not being built, GPUs waiting to be installed, debt, and much more. Crazy times.

Did the whole thing. I got IBM Plex. Actually looks great

Such a corny take. People should have kids when they know for sure they want to become parents. If they are unsure because the life they want for themselves seems incompatible, then it becomes a gamble. So many miserable parents out there who hide their experiences because they are afraid of social punishment or because they need to convince themselves that this permanent life-altering decision was the right one. That's my take as someone who for 35 years didn't want kids and one day woke up knowing for sure I wanted a kid in my family.

As an employee of a big tech company doing this, it's all fear mongering. We are being told that if everyone doesn't use these tools, our competitors will wipe the floor with us because they are using them and will ship features 10x faster. But many engineers are suspicious as well.

Many of us are literally being forced to use it at work by people who haven't written a line of code in years (VPs, directors, etc) and decided to play around with it during a weekend and blew their minds.

I started reading the second edition of Designing data-intensive applications. I believe only the digital edition is out right now.

Aren't they required to make their stock trades public?

Right, but even when they do have your zipcode (because you added beforehand for checking stock for example) they don't update the prices. It would be nice to have the option

A while ago I built a prototype app to extract songs and artists from Reddit posts with thousands of comments. I used the Anthropic API, and it was pretty easy to set up and wasn't very expensive. I think you can get a pretty good estimation of how much it would cost beforehand or after a few test runs.

Have you considered using an LLM model API? You could just send it the posting text and come with a good prompt to extract the most likely required skills.

What are you going to google though? For most of these LC questions you only need to know how to use arrays, maps and loops. If I'm interviewing you and you tell me you need to google how to append something to an array or check if the element is in a map then I'll think you just haven't written enough code yet.

There are better questions where I do think google should be allowed but they aren't LC-style. Some examples are building APIs or operating on files

Currently working for me with ProtonVPN

Yes they do

If it's awful and doesn't improve over time (I'm talking weeks), try pushing your doctor to get an MRI. I visited three doctors before they ordered one and found two bad herniated and degenerated discs, and at that point, surgery was the recommended option. It's been a year after my surgery, and I'm finally pain-free after almost three painful years.

Is that common though? I haven't met people that have a great pronunciation but poor grammar in a second language.

You could try writing blog posts for a company[1]. I haven't done this but I know people who have. It's crazy what some companies pay for such low-quality content sometimes.

That wasn't my point. Your original comment passively implies people without parenting experience should keep their opinions to themselves.

Having experience in parenting has nothing to do with understanding addiction though. If a psychiatrist tells you the best way is to just not give them a smartphone are you going to dismiss their opinion if they don’t have kids?

Not really. The first one about the anti-drunk driving is pretty similar to what many pro-gun people say: "banning guns won't stop murders". And just answering that the point is reduction seems reasonable in this case.

I did a month's course of Omeprazole in the morning and Pepcid before going to bed. It got much better, and now I rarely have to take something. Before that, I was taking sodium bicarbonate every day, which is apparently bad for you and can worsen the symptoms over time.

Wouldn't it be easier not to give kids phones or tables until they are a certain age? I feel like the only reason my friends and I aren't addicted to apps is because we didn't grow up having a smartphone available all day. I got my first smartphone when I was about 20, so I never developed the compulsion of having it around me all the time

Not much. Go with Java or Scala instead. Those are useful when learning processing frameworks such as Spark, Beam, Flink, etc.

The problem is that you and the other hundreds of senior engineers would perform the same if it were all design and the other example you gave. There's just not a good solution for companies that must evaluate the number of candidates these big companies get daily.
