When you are sharing the calendar it will be synced on every device. And yes as a family we go through all dates on Sunday for the next week.

Which is a nice time with the family we are sitting drinking coffee also with other family members.

When you Lack so much organization skills the AI would never get the data to write you this.

Good engineers know how to influence others and the organization to deliver a solution as a team.

This is a Problem, assuming someone is good at talking is also a good engineer.

Good engineers constantly work on reducing complexity in the codebase to consistently provide high quality.

Complexity for the manager? Who is deciding how complex a system is. This could also be a skill issue with the „team“ by taking skilled engineers and mix them with not so skilled ones.

Overall the article is written for managers which try to add a image of an engineer which is like a manager. Influence people and give up on complex stuff.

From my perspective, hailing from Germany, I don't anticipate a decline in developer compensation. Instead, I foresee a future where companies will be selective, opting for developers who are adept at integrating AI into their workflow.

As we begin to reshape our approach to project construction, the inclusion of AI systems will become a standard component in our calculations. This realization will inevitably lead us to understand that certain tasks no longer require as many developers as they once did. Consequently, there might be a reduction in hiring rates for developers.

Nevertheless, I remain optimistic that while the demand for developers might become more selective, their compensation could potentially increase due to the specialized skills required in an AI-integrated landscape.

Interesting read. Just to add, even HTTPS isn't completely safe from Man-in-the-Middle attacks, especially in corporate environments. A few points to consider:

- Some apps bypass or poorly implement certificate pinning.

- Companies using self-signed certs can be spoofed.

- There's always the risk of compromised Certificate Authorities.

- Corporate tools that inspect HTTPS traffic, while useful for security, can inadvertently become a vulnerability if misconfigured or hacked.

Always good to remember: HTTPS is a protective layer, but not an unbreakable barrier.

Every advancement that simplifies coding potentially displaces a job. If tools like GPT-4 amplify my efficiency by even 1-5x, it's not just code— it implies a broader workload shift across the tech sector.

Pretty simple it’s just like any abstraction. This AI will not work when nobody would deliver the answer beforehand. LLMs are given inputs of existing code. When you abstract that you better hope you have good code in it.

So my question would be, what is the use case?

I guess it’s more like planing software and not implementing it.

You can pretty well plan your software with ChatGPT. But it will just help you not really doing the job.

The demo already shows the problem. It picks an event, the AI picks Earth Day. Then it makes a recipe with an avocado in it.

And writes it is good for the planet. Avocados are exactly the opposite. They have an extremely high water consumption and then have to be imported from all over the world.

Contrary to the author who claims, "Auto-GPT pushes the boundaries of what is possible with AI." I don't find that.

Why can't you just use GPT-4 as it is. It is an insanely tool to simplify many things. But it's still a long way from being ready, and it's not meant to decide anything on its own. And even to reflect reasonably out of own motivation.

You are enlightened.

ML is a tool for results that are just good enough. But people think they can program with it.

LLMs are a good way to get a glimpse of the right answer you still need to get deeper look in topics for:

A: validate the result of the LLM

B: get a better understanding of your topic

When you think, it’s not worth it, Try to imagine when your software not run once, but runs a few thousand times or more per second.

So by having some operations exceptional faster you could not only save time also you save energy.

I wouldn’t call it a new thing. We began without virtual DOM and then Facebook sold us the vDOM as the ultimate way to go. Which svelte clearly shows, by removing the unnecessary layer for the vdom it’s much faster and is still reactive.

The first we did with UAC was disabling it. Because nobody did care.

So you can throw the best security at users for free. Some dud will disable it because his powershell script is not working anymore.

First, very funny that with each comment the author is older. Second, I’m 33 and regret yet. I misunderstood every customer is king with every customer is important and has the right to call me outside of work.

I worked 7 years about 60-70 hours each weak for customers which „are so important“ to work at weekends.

No one will give you the time back you could have spend better by developing yourself, family time or staring your own carrier. But working for a company is most of the times lost time.

For some reason I can’t use wayland properly without bugs. I have two screens and sometimes the split horizontally for some reason or one screen just won’t work. I have no fancy setup. Most of the times Linux failed for me at Desktop things. So I Never used it for work despite server or container stuff. But now we have employees which have problems with Microsoft teams on Linux. At the problems may be the sound drivers.

We a lot problems like that when we want to integrating Linux desktops in our enterprise environment.

We are not using red hat or but have dedicated Linux computers.

So in other words.

When OpenAI had a way for training live data all big marketing companies would produce a ton of information just to get their „facts“ to ChatGPT.

But as a user you can’t compare different sources like you would do on Google and you only have this BS answer which is fancy but tells you to drink dish cleaner because studies have found out that dish cleaner makes stuff clean and clean is healthy.

When I want a short answer I Google, when I want a dialog with maybe or maybe not good answers I use any AI which destroys the context of the original answer written by human.

Ofcourse it’s a technology with big potential. But I need more as just an good looking answer.

And when Cogent is my provider Google services would not work. But is it for all countries?

I ask because providers in the EU have some other laws as USA for example. Or is this peering globally the same ?

1. why should I code faster

2. it’s not true you need to actual code to learn coding

3. I’m really disappointed in the direction they going

Also GitHub is doing marketing with:“you’re code is not perfect use copilot.“

So code faster and then use copilot because we trust some data more which we didn’t even know the quality behind it.

As far as I know developer. They will mess with all kinds of technology given to them.

You say side effects are a problem but you also say the developer cares about his structure in microservices.

When you can’t handle side effects how will you handle microservices?

You could do the same without microservices by just abstracting in libraries which have a defined API.

Microservices will normally make your application more complex. Developers will mess with them too. They can’t change the JSON but some dev will change the API of some service and read the wrong property…
