PREACH. I have no idea why THIS has become the standard for illustrating model capabilities. It's endlessly frustrating when that was the initial objective for all these models, but, became increasingly clear over time that none of these models were ever capable of getting the desired output for complex software on the initial prompt.
The reality is:
- business rules change
- ideas for improvement may arise from the initial prompt
- updates to submodules/functions/configs/secrets are BLOCKERS
... etc.
One shot prompting for the expecations of complete software is seemingly more and more a show of incompetence of the use of this technology. It's like trying to make my toddler eat a ham sandwich from the peanut butter & jelly I put in front of him.
This sounds like a process + human problem, not a technology problem. To me, it sounds like your team lacks discipline and competence. Sorry bud, going to categorically disagree with your sentiment that git is terrible.
I FEEL this. It's empowered lazy devs to defer thought and accountability. To some degree, I understand. It softens the imposter syndrome feeling one can get. But, I see it as a character barrier; not a moral one.
Ah, yes. California. Where large swathes of costal areas hover between 60ºF and 80ºF. We are talking about Nevada the weather of locality matters and where it can be supremely hot.
`pass` is an excellent case for storing passwords locally that you don't need to carry with you. I use a lot of login credentials for work on `pass` and it works great. If/when I need to upgrade laptops I can just back it up in git.
I use BW for all my personal stuff because my wife and I use it.
I've been giving some thought to this. I wonder if an iPad would suffice in front of the tv and just ssh into a Mac Mini for dev work. I'd love an iPad but I can't justify it either because of the limitation of hardware capabilities. I also don't really want to purchase two machines just for dev tasks and travel. But, I think having that kind of lifestyle will be expensive no matter the approach.
> In Japan, we will implement a next career support program. Details will be communicated separately.
Why not do this for every country? This type of support should be required for mass layoffs.
I understand the strategic impact of such large decisions but I don't understand why these types of programs can't be implemented in the 21st century even if laws need to necessitate such programs existence.
This experience has zero to do with clean code. The title is very much a misnomer and incredibly misleading.
This is an elaboration on the experience of abhorrent engineering culture at this company. From people who can't professionally speak with one another to a manager who cannot seem to effectively solve the core issues underlying the problems at the company. Instead of a moment of reflection on HOW to improve the root cause of the problem, it feels like they're kicking that can down the road.
Two things I'd like to point out:
1. It's nice to see some form of humbling commentary from the author; albeit, I don't think it targets the right solution to the problem.
2. I still think there's a lesson here for any org to digest and that is communication is such a vital and integral part of "a raising the tide lifts all boats", so to speak.
> “If we even got a couple percent improvement in productivity, this would be worth it. And our goals are actually to do quite a bit better than that.”
So your engineers will get a productivity salary increase, right? RIGHT?!
I am reminded of a conversation on Security Now where Steve Gibson recommended that each website that has traffic inside the UK to have a red banner at the top of the page to sentiment of something like, "The UK Government is forcibly watching traffic on this website."
Watch how quickly that turns the conversation around.
This argument lawmakers have here is entirely built upon the straw man. I understand the deep yearning to protect children but all this won't make the criminals stop using the tools that are currently legal. They will continue to use them. Making them "illegal" won't make them stop using them because they can still be acquired.
