Get a yearly full body skin check from a dermatologist. It’s a common thing. I’ve been doing it for years because of my skin type. They caught early Basal cell carcinoma the last time I went.
I don’t think it’s possible to build this app on an iPad. But, I taught my kids my phone number by making it their passcode. Before that I used it to teach them how to spell their name.
I didn’t buy the hype of any of those things, but I believe AI is a going to change everything much like the introduction of the internet. People are dismissing AI because its code is not bug free, completely dismissing the fact that it generates PRs in minutes from a poorly written text prompt. As if that’s not impressive. In fact if you put a human engineer on the receiving end of the same prompt with the same context as what we’re sending to the LLM, I doubt they could produce code half as good in 10x the time. It’s science fiction coming true, and it’s only going to continue to improve.
This a legit question before having kids, I don’t mean to belittle it, but after having kids, for me, it’s like asking if I wished the people I loved most never existed. The question no longer makes sense.
I feel this, but also my family needs money and health insurance. So, yeah, live life now, because it’s short. But, also we have to do the things necessary to keep our jobs and keep food on the table.
ChatGPT 4 is amazing! I use it when I’m blocked to get unstuck. I don’t need perfectly functioning code, just something to get my gears turning. I use it to review my own code. It often has pretty good suggestions, or can validate my approach. And I use it to sketch out unit tests for me. I still have fill in pieces, but it’s absolutely improved my output. It’s like having an egoless programming partner. Yeah, it makes mistakes, but I treat the AI like a programming buddy, not a flawless code wizard. It doesn’t solve problems for me, but we come to solutions together.
Because when you use phrases like “just simply” [do something actually hard], your stakeholders read that and say things like, “why did this take a whole sprint to implement? You said you just had to [do something hard].” There’s no reason to downplay the difficulty of your and your team’s work.
Further, we’re adults, as you say, so let’s be adults and take the time to consider our readers position and how our writing might be interpreted. You’re doing no one any favors by refusing to be empathetic.
Yes, I read the code and also run the code locally. Reading the code is for strategic larger picture thinking and running the code is to find tactical errors in the implementation.
