No, absolutely not. I would even be for labor organization if it had no impact on this matter primarily because I don't see why it would be a negative.
I had to set the language of my google account to English to make it finally stop auto translating YouTube. Setting the language in YouTube had worked for a few weeks, then it would be reset again. Setting the language of the google account itself appears to have fixed it for good.
I have a similar experience. It feels like riding your bike in a higher gear - you can go faster but it will take more effort and you need the potential (stronger legs) to make use of it
Today I tried to use Copilot to go through a code base and export unexported types, interfaces and unions (typescript). It had to also rename them to make sure they are unique in context of the package. Otherwise I would have used search&replace :)
It started out promising, renaming the symbols according to my instructions. Slower than if I had done it myself, but not horrible slow. It skipped over a few renames so I did them manually. I had to tell it to continue every 2 minutes so I could not really do anything else in the meantime.
I figured it’s quicker if I find the files in question (simple ripgrep search) and feed them to copilot. So I don’t have to wait for it to search all files.
Cool, now it started to rename random other things and ignored the naming scheme I taught it before. It took quite some time to manually fix its mess.
Maybe I should have just asked it to write a quick script to do the rename in an automated way instead :)
Yes, I notice the benefit of having the same faces around regularly at the $sport I do few times per week. You don’t say much more than hello and goodbye, but after a while you appreciate each other's company and really miss it when you can’t go.
Exactly. If you just throw things at it, it will fail. You have to break down the complex problems into sets of simple ones (for now). Then it can shine.
If those 30 seconds are the total time the bar is in your hands and off the floor it sounds reasonable tho, doesn’t it? The numbers quoted match about what I personally experienced
Agreed, it’s like doing static HTML instead of an SPA for a simple website. It’s not glamorous, it’s not exciting but it’s incredibly efficient.
I have been lifting for 18 years now and it’s become like brushing my teeth: I just do it without thinking much about it. Just basic stuff - squats, bench, deadlift, few vanity additions. The older I get the more I see how much my peers physically suffer without it.
I get the frustration but that frustration itself can discourage newbies that look up to more senior peers.
I am not saying that learning all these tools is necessary to be a productive developer, but at the same time we should also not easily be discouraged by their mere existence and reject any acquisition of new skills because there is just so much noise to filter through.
One can learn about (or ignore) them one after another, relaxed and with an open mind.
I was about to comment that but luckily stopped to search if someone else already did. In our company this is taken pretty seriously and would trigger some raised eyebrows from the security department :)
I build https://amazing-gains.app where you can manage your workouts and some nutritional metrics. One focus is on data protection, so you should be able to easily download your data whenever you feel like it. It is also supposed to work offline (PWA) as I personally have very poor connectivity in my basement gym :)
Currently it is completely free but I would need to assign certain permissions to new user accounts so they can create exercises and workouts. I would do that for everyone who signs up today.
