You would hire someone with the expactation that they learn, but you also need to pay them. New hires always slow the team down. And currently you wouldn't even get much out of them, as you can delegate those tasks to AI.
Additionally you can not even be sure that the junior will learn or just throw stuff at AI. The amount of vibecoded Code I have to review at the moment from Seniors is stunning.
So yeah, the market needs Seniors, but there is basically no incentive for a company to hire a Junior at the moment. It's just easier and cheaper to pay a bit better than the market and hire Seniors then to train a Junior for years.
Is there a good resource on how to get better at python prototyping?
The typing system makes it somewhat slow for me and I am faster prototyping in Go then in Python, despite that I am writing more Python code. And yes I use type annotations everywhere, ideally even using pydantic.
I tend to use it a lot for data analytics and exploration but I do this now in nushell which holds up very well for this kind of tasks.
At the moment it is the other way around. LLMs rarely write good code if not instructed by someone that knows what they are doing.
And even then the code is rarely good.
No it’s not. I was using vim / nvim interchangeable.
I moved from emacs to vim in 2003 or 2004.
I am really not sure when I changed vim to nvim as I always have an alias vim=nvim.
I really like the great defaults helix comes with.
I used neovim for 20 years and still like it a lot. But after some plugins broke I wanted to give helix a try.
I am missing a plugin system in helix.
However, for me, helix comes with the nearly perfect amount of functionality, while being extremely responsive. It also made me appreciate stuff like multicursor, which I haven’t tried before.
I tried multiple out of the box nvim solutions, but never liked one of those.
I looked into zed, but don’t see much of a reason to use it. Maybe I should give it a try.
How are you experiencing free will? You have no idea what your next thought will be, nor can you control it.
You have the opinion that you have free will, but that doesn't mean it's true.
Because you probably can extrapolate your experience from learning how to ride a bike, or to walk, so you don‘t need to crash a car. Probably everyone here has the experience, that the faster things collide with you, the more it hurts.
