Wouldn’t you kind of expect to be fired if you release a project under your employers name that’s not even associated with them and hasn’t been cleared?
It seems to be something other people do as well and not out of the ordinary, so no.
You can't undertand because the argument is nonsensical.
So they basically fired all the interns? Can anyone who works or knows someone who works for Cloudflare can confirm?
The models have already plateaued, you don't need latest and greatest.
Yes, even better sometimes.
they're just as capable as using AI as anyone.
This is a very naive take. AI output still needs to be guided and iterated over, architecture decisions (even at the code level) still need experience to judge correctly.
battery electric vehicles if it is the wrong thing you produce
Says you and not the guys with the big pockets that actually do market research? Until you solve the charging times problem, the mileage problem and the amount of available charging stations problem you will not see wide adoption. Most people don't want them and petrol is still king for many years to come.
I have a hard time understanding what "increased productivity by 4%" actually means and how this metric is measured. One low-digit does not seem high when put into the context and promises, is it?
They are doing this so they can eventually remove the feature entirely in the future.
Most serious banking apps and financial services are still written in Java, it hasn't displaced much of anything. Big data is a relatively 'new' fad that is already becoming less and less relevant.
Following this hypothesis, what C did to assembler, what Java did to C, what Javascript/Python/Perl did to Java, now LLM agents are doing to all programming languages.
What did Javascript/Python do to Java? They are not interchangeable nor comparable. I don't think Federico's opinion is worth reading further.
Someone might join if they are desperate enough and hop at the next better opportunity, that's what I would do. Aren't you worried this will be a waste of time?
59K for a senior fullstack engineer in Hamburg is crazy low.
Probably checking in about 10 to 15k lines of code per month on average.
God, these claims are so ridiculous. You guys are probably doing it wrong if you write that much code.
Or "what will surely not happen in 2026". HN crowd is atrocious at predicting anything.
What I've learned from all these disaster stories: have backups for everythig. I have an iCloud+ subscription but also a OneDrive subscription, photos are sync'ed to both storages. On gmail, I set up fwd for all emails to another email address (non-Google related) just in case. Of course you can't do this for every service but do it for the ones you can.
On a meta note, Fuck Apple, I'm so glad I didn't pursue an iOS developer career 10 years ago.
Why is Anthropic not legally responsible for damages here?

These types of problems you usually bring forth in retros. Have you done that, what was the outcome?
Hi there! I was checking one of your job posts for Germany[1] and I see that you are asking if I am hispanic/latino. Can you please share some light as to why this would be relevant for EU? Thanks!
Would you learn how to fly a plane to better understand how a car works? The answer is no of course. You learn more of Python and its internal workings to understand Python better.
This was in the news just 2 days ago: "U.S. reports 1.35 million COVID-19 cases in a day, shattering global record". I'm not sure why you're focusing so much on Europe, it's happening in other places as well.
I imagine they will be the first to be automated.
This has been said over again since the 90's when all sort of tools and "codeless" solutions started popping up. While you can automate some stuff for smaller shops, I suspect web development will trump all the rest simply because of how ubiquitous it is.
I agree with deep technical knowledge but at the same time make sure you don't dig a hole too deep where jobs are few.
In my opinion the best way to future-proof your skills is to stay up to date with market trends and notice when your tools of choice (even in your current job) start to become obsolete or used less and less. I would also pay close attention to the number of jobs for a particular skill.
Just an FYI, HN is staunchly against mongodb. If this is good or bad you decide but you won't hear good things about mongodb from HN.
Did I say I don't know the space? Does it sound like I never did front-end development? You should learn how to parse properly. I tried it, it sucks, and that's why.
From my very limited view in my opinion it's not worth it. There is an abundance of new frameworks and libraries and everybody wants to go for the "new cool thing". Things break a lot, things change fast and you need to always learn new stuff which are not necessarily better. It seem annoying and overkill to keep up with everything in the front-end world. Plus, there are no interesting problems to solve there.
If you want to learn probability and statistics I recommend http://probabilitycourse.com
For linear algebra I heard Paul Dawkins' document is great, it's not on his site anymore but you can find it online. I've read calculus 1 and 1/3 of calculus 2 and it's good material.
What about the design? The user interface is important obviously, do you know design 'well enough' to make a passable interface or do you work with a designer?
Their open-source friendliness has unfortunately coincided with a decline of their respect for user privacy and choice (Windows 10).
As far as I know they give you the option to opt out of everything. Are they bad even for asking?
I must have misunderstood this somehow, because this is just too idiotic otherwise.
You did misunderstood. Belgium incorrectly offered tax aid to companies and now it's required to rectify it, hence said companies must pay what is legally required.
