We were actually looking at it as well recently (we're using Drata). I was thinking "Cool, this looks like the next cool step forward". The claims didn't sound out of the world in my ears.
Every time an issue like this appears I wonder how many more undiscovered frauds are out there.
Work related: The Culture Map - can strongly recommend!
Non-work: the Alex Rider series. Both entertaining and serious when it needs to be without being super grim.
Agreed. My 3 free apps, one with +100k downloads were also removed because of the EU ruling. Don't want my personal address and phone number to be more accessible to bad actors more than it already is. While I can somewhat follow the idea, the execution in practice has serious flaws.
My bluetooth headphones occasionally drop the connection for a moment when I'm standing to my microwave which is warming up food. 2.4GHz after all. Bluetooth and USB 3 don't play along that well either btw.
Plenty of developers paste arbitrary bash commands posted on sites like GitHub without thinking because they look "legit", I suppose. I see it similarly as you do: StackOverflow (and Copilot) can be helpful to start but it's.
Had an exchange like this some time ago:
Me: Hey, I'm reviewing your PR. Looks pretty fine to me. Except for this function which looks like it was copy-pasted from SO: I literally found the same function in an answer on SO (it was written in pure JS while we were using TS in our project).
Dev: Yes, everyone copies from SO.
Me: Well, in that case I hope you always copy the right thing. Because this code might run but it is not good enough (e.g. the variable names are inexpressive, it creates DOM elements without removing them after they are not needed anymore).
Curious to know what advantages Insomnia has/had over Postman beyond being MIT licensed.
Postman's initial startup time could be a bit faster but other than this I'm not missing much (yet). I used it for years occasionally before finally creating an account not so long to sync my requests across devices.
BTW: Jetbrains IDEs like WebStorm also have an integrated HTTP client.
Curious to know why this is the case? I haven't played around with LLAMA yet but I figured it being open-source would make it more trustworthy than models provided by OpenAI.
So far I've used Medium.com but I rarely find the time to blog these days. I was considering dev.to as you can rather easily convert a Medium blog post to Markdown which dev supports.
Nice post. In the past I've had colleagues (also senior people) who disliked touching "legacy" parts (e.g. Java based microservices compared to newer Express.js or Kotlin based microservices which don't provide half the value that the legacy parts do).
I also think that maintenance programming can be rewarding. However, I do believe that it does not make sense to throw entry-level engineers into the maintenance mess alone: they still need some guidance in my experience. Then you'll be able to reap the benefits such as getting better in debugging and understanding more about the business problems that the software is solving.
I'm sure this is a part of why this fear exists. Middle Eastern countries are especially harsh in that sense imo: you're afraid of making mistakes or making your family "look bad"™.
