“The hard truth is” an AI slop tell, which the whole article is

Good vibes, free things stand out. The direction of wind seems inverted. North wind is wind blowing from north to south. Also, when going into irons, the speed should drop to zero, or become negative given the sail configuration. And turns are impossible without speed.

Well played, Anthropic. - Nvidia gives AI labs money to run their models. - AI labs give money to AI engineers to use the models. - Companies are getting hooked on AI products. - AI engineers are getting hooked on AI products. - Regular Software Engineers are getting devalued/replaced by low-skill AI engineers. - Their employers get more money to spend on AI.

Sorry for off topic, is the situation the same with Safari on MacOS? I have to touch-id every time I fill the password, so it seems like it’s not available in-memory.

That's called a product engineer, and I can see how this role is becoming more commonplace.

I've seen this point a lot on the web, how people compare AI to junior devs, and bring up the idea of replacement. This is, of course, a pipe dream. In fact, I work with a few people just from the college, and I see how AI helps them get up to speed faster. Even senior engineers benefit a lot from AI coding. Their value to the company is not in how fast they can churn out new code, but in the deep domain understanding they build, and in the agency to drive the project they are responsible for. As for the "destroyed steps behind me", I wouldn't take the same steps if I were starting my career now. My point was to actively seek and learn what's needed by the industry.

Spot on, even though I'm not from the US originally. I changed three countries, chasing the job pool availability. Although I can't say I'm looking down on people who figured out how to live fulfilling lives without a job. I find this extremely fortunate. As for me, when I'm not building software products at work, I do it at home in my spare time. And one thing I noticed is that the job is a great amplifier of my efforts. I don't think I can have the same success or even impact through my pet projects. So, in a way, not being proactive and fully engaged at work is wasting time. Not being lazy per se, even though that might be related.

This suggests a possible trend in which the separation between development and managerial roles becomes less meaningful. We can have more product engineers who combine software expertise with domain knowledge to deliver complete solutions independently. Similar to how people operate in startups, wearing many hats and making progress quickly and autonomously.

I hate how this is acceptable to make such claims about another country without providing any evidence. Same goes for Chinese or Russian hackers. It’s just whoever the US government is unhappy about.

This is beautiful. One thing I'd like to add to the list is:

How many AI cheaters do you need to catch on the technical phone screening interview to incorporate a habit of doing IRL CAPTCHA challenges?

I was looking for something like this numerous times when working on network automation. Is it open source?

Hi, I'm gauging interest on the topic and building up service audience. Please sign up if you're interested!

Toilet water is a better name for Java indeed

That strikes me how enthusiasts can manage Linux software for free, but multibillion corporation cuts it for “business sense”.

Isn’t it ironic to have this book on Amazon?

As usual on this kind of articles, no details given on how exactly FBI traced the attack to Russia.

I’m most experienced with Python, and I was going to make it work both as hosted and self-hosted.

What’s your plan on promoting it? I feel like this space is overheated and it’s impossible to stand out

Very much like kibitzr https://kibitzr.github.io/ I like your use cases though.

Are you using AWS Lambda to launch a browser for a single test?

Project author here, AMA.

If GitHub chooses to shut down a repo, there's GitLab :-) Also AFAIK serving magnet links is perfectly legal

Did you use any of mentioned products?

Check out https://peterdemin.github.io/kibitzr-banks.html It does almost the same

Thanks, I'll try to better accent on advantages over other existing solutions. I struggled to search for a niche community, my question is a lot about it.

Thanks for the feedback! It's the most elaborative advice I ever received on Kibitzr.

Just in case, here is the project: https://kibitzr.github.io

Once I configured checks for all my banks, I started to spend less and visit online bank accounts only to make transfers.

These two products complement each other naturally.

Kibitzr is kinda opening a new niche in tooling.
