While Apple does make nice hardware and appear to be listening to their users in that respect, don't forget that Tahoe has not been particularly well-received.

While I agree with your sentiment, the actual quote is subtly different, which changes the meaning:

"Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that."

That was my first thought too! but then realised Allan Border has a double L, while the app's name is "Alan"

Nothing is in its "final form" today.

I'm a long time SWE and in the last week, I've made and shipped production changes across around 6 different repos/monorepos, ranging from Python to Golang, to Kotlin to TS to Java. I'd consider myself "expert" in maybe one or two of those codebases and only having a passing knowledge of the others.

I'm using AI, not to fire-and-forget changes, but to explain and document where I can find certain functionality, generate snippets and boilerplate, and produce test cases for the changes I need. I read, review and consider that every line of code I commit has my name against it, and treat it as such.

Without these tools I'd estimate being around 25% as effective when it comes to getting up to speed on unfamiliar code and service. For that alone, AI tooling is utterly invaluable.

> ... Feedly that pretend to care about RSS but layer on features unrelated to the protocol

I've been using Feedly since Google killed reader, and while I like the RSS functionality it offers, I do agree that they've slowly been adding more and more features I don't care for.

Maybe it's time to migrate to something like TFA suggests.

I also agree with your other comments; it's huge a shame.

I've been using McFly [1] recently, and like it a lot.

As was also pointed out in the TFA, while you may not be "marking people down" because of unfamiliarity with syntax, an interviewee who has more experience with the language (and it's debugging tools) used in the interview will have an inherent advantage over someone who isn't as familiar.

I agree, nice and thick, with lots of butter! Don't listen to the advice in the article :-)

And if your main.go is in a sub-directory, e.g. cmd/pathto/cli/main.go:

From the Wikipedia entry:

> After his death Machiavelli's name came to evoke unscrupulous acts of the sort he advised most famously in his work, The Prince. He claimed that his experience and reading of history showed him that politics have always been played with deception, treachery, and crime. He also notably said that a ruler who is establishing a kingdom or a republic, and is criticized for his deeds, including violence, should be excused when the intention and the result are beneficial to him.

Save, open FTP/SCP client, copy to webserver, maybe poke/restart a service via SSH, back to browser, refresh... dammit, error, rinse repeat.

We're certainly spoiled having formatting, linting, tests and coverage all run on save these days :-)

Practical Extraction and Reporting Language

Sure, I understand that from the POV of making your code explicit. Personally I have always tended towards, for example:

    var x string

when initializing empty (zero-value) vars, versus:

    x := "hello"

when initializing variables that should hold an initial value.

To me as a Go programmer at least, this is more obvious and intuitive as to the intent of the declaration.

The author used:

    sum := float32(0)

Over Go's zero-value default initialization e.g.

    var sum float32

A nit stylistically but wondering if there was a good reason to do so?

I feel the same way.

My commits on a PR are always rebased as I go, into one or two or at most three neat changes. Meanwhile (some) others I work with seem to have no problem creating PRs consisting of a dozen or more changes, most of which with messages like “wip”, “typo”, “fix comment” etc.
