Half the code was written in a language you didn't understand. The other half was written using libraries you never heard of.

As you waded through the slop, you browsed job postings and fantasized about leaving

Just because you didn't understand something or haven't heard about a library, doesn't mean its slop. How do you make sure your definition of "clean code" is not a slop to others?

Give an abstract requirement and access to your AI tool. Ask the candidate to create a working solution and review the AI generated code. requirement analysis and code review are now the primary skills for developers.

e.g. Indian parents can obtain Indian citizenship for their kids but it also means letting go of the kids' US citizenship

This is not true, India has something called “Overseas Citizenship of India” which is technically not a citizenship even though the name says, but its a life time visa available for US citizens of Indian origin. And you don’t have to give up US citizenship

How will this affect TSLA share holders? Will the value go up or down?

The world is like a ride in an amusement park

only difference is, in real world there may be consequences that you may not be able to undo so you may have to be little careful while riding.

Of course my only objection was the language. LLMs are now old enough to leave the jargon behind and talk in simple easy to understand terms.

Mamba-3 4 months ago

Mamba-3 is a new state space model (SSM) designed with inference efficiency as the primary goal — a departure from Mamba-2, which optimized for training speed. The key upgrades are a more expressive recurrence formula, complex-valued state tracking, and a MIMO (multi-input, multi-output) variant that boosts accuracy without slowing down decoding.

Why can’t they simply say -

Mamba-3 focuses on being faster and more efficient when making predictions, rather than just being fast to train like Mamba-2.

with the latest bizarre web stacks, frameworks for everything, node for this, npm for that, Angular, React, Vue, whatever - as if solving business problems just became too boring for software developers, so we decided to spend our cycles on the new hotness at every turn

I kinda feel the same way when I visit Home Depot once a year

oxidation is a chemical process where a substance loses electrons, often by reacting with oxygen, causing it to change. What does it have to do with JavaScript?
