I desperately want this to be true, but at least in my sector, it isn't. You still need talented and knowledgable programmers, but they don't do very much programming. Its all code review, infrastructure, devops.
At least for a small business, users are catching on that they can build a dirty app that gets them what they specifically want, instead of relying on some paid software to give everyone a little bit of what they want. Partially this suggests I'm just in the wrong sector, but it is absolutely happening.
I dont' think this matters to Google or Amazon, they can't be replaced. But small businesses are a different story.
And the result of all this? We need to heavily rely on AI, so that we can outpace individual users in delivering what they want. I hate it, I didn't give the order, but I do see the writing on the wall. This workflow is miserable, it sucks the fun out of the job, but unfortunately it really is faster. And small businesses rely on the income coming in next year, not in 5 years.
As a side note, I also think users are becoming extremely used to having a chatbot do everything for them. Every site is going to have one, and apps that don't will fall behind.
I'd like to be on a different multiverse timeline honestly
Does anyone truly understand all the little edge cases with CSS?
I've write tons and tons of CSS, have done for a decade. I don't sit and think about the exact interactions, I just know a couple things that might work if I'm getting something unexpected.
I don't really see it possible to commit that to memory, unless I literally start working on an interpreter myself.
I suppose if your lens is actually a vertical stack of lenses, each with hundreds of inputs and outputs, then why wouldn't this work? Although I cannot fathom fabricating it. Maybe start by finding the absolute simplest/smallest image classifier you can
Most indie devs don't have time and money to optimize. They will make the game primarily for the biggest audience, and then make it somewhat playable for everyone else.
The closer Switch is to the Steam Deck, the more likely both will be targeted.
I just hope its powerful enough that Indies can target it along with the Steam Deck, rather than just hope an pray like they did for Switch 1's late lifecycle. The amount of <30fps indie titles on there was sad.
I get sleep paralysis (less so these days) and I absolutely get the instant REM thing. I'm dreaming before I'm asleep every single night, and I'm often dreaming for 5-10 minutes after I wake up. Its just a stream of audiovisual nonsense that doesn't shut off until I'm properly awake. Always figured it was normal.
I follow some mountain bike youtube channels, not professional riders but content creators, and literally every one of them has a yearly major injury. Broken bones are just normal.
Its so dependent on font size (or more accurately PPI) that its hard to pick. On my current monitor my favorite Berkely Mono looks thin and hard to read unless I bump up the size higher than I'd like. But drag it over to a Retina screen and it looks fantastic.
I'm not convinced this is a good idea either, but abstractions and syntax are what makes people love or hate a language. I enjoy writing python over JS because of ergonomics. Its not really about productivity, its about being happy when writing and reading code.
That being said, stapling on a compile step maybe isn't the answer.
