Without experience, programming with AI (vibe coding, I guess) can be compared to being a rat in maze... You work your way through a project, but the dead-ends exact a high cost in terms time, attention, and ultimately cost.
With experience, you see these dead ends before they have a chance to take hold and you know when and how to adjust course. It's literally like one poster said: coding with some buddies without ego and without the need to constantly talk people out of using the latest and greatest shiny objects/tools/frameworks.
I've really enjoyed going back a revisiting old ideas and projects with the help of AI. As the OP stated -- it has restored my energy and drive.
User experience is inversely proportional to piracy.
Every time I have to login using a code, not only am I annoyed that I once again after to re-enter my uid/pwd despite being a paying customer, I'm also reminded I'm paying yet another monthly fee for a service.
Streaming companies: you're asking for it. Begging for it.
In addition to having a great curated product selection that one can trust, they appear to treat their employees well as they always have a great attitude and top-notch customer service.
Nothing quite like a site titled "Better Science" with the disclaimer:
"While I understand the basics of a clinical trial, I’d like to point out that I am no medical scientists. Most of the issues here were spotted by other people and I have linked to the sources."
You cannot make this s@#t up!
Put on your critical thinking caps folks -- there's a lot of bad info out there.
Wow, you all are really taking this fact hard. It's ok -- I know was shocked when I first heard this back in high school.
Reading thru the comments, it sounds like New Jersey has great parental benefits, but you will be sharing them with a few more million people than Denmark, so ymmv.
It comes down to this: you sound like a complete idiot comparing social programs of these small Countries to <any> large Country. Stop.
I love a good, "X Nordic Country provides Y for FREE -- so should the United States!" Where Y is some socialized benefit.
Let's put this in perspective: Finland's population is around 5.5 million people. That's somewhere between the populations of South Carolina and Minnesota.
Get a grip people -- The United States is not even remotely equivalent to Finland in terms of demographics and population. Find a nice U.S. State that doles out great Parental benefits, and move.
Very interesting. There’s certainly something to this associative memory phenomenon. Case and point. I stumbled across this on accident, by listening to the radio while commuting to work in the morning. Some shows repeat themselves throughout the day. If I hear the repeat on my commute home, I can recall an amazing number of details around my morning commute at the same time in the show. It’s pretty amazing and I’m trying to find a way to exploit this outside of listening to Howard Stern on my commute to/from work. :-)
And still no native calculator for iPad. Oh well, maybe they'll squeeze it in next year. Imagine the cheers and adulation that'll bring from the WWDC keynote audience...
And don't get me started about removing the glowing apple logo on the back of the screen. No reason for it -- now the back of the MBP looks just as shitty and cheap as every other craptop on the market.
I refuse to buy the new MBPs for corporate use. Just keep buying the older model. The new one is an unmitigated, overreaching, disaster. Oh and BTW, if Apple discontinues the older MBP, I will NEVER buy a MBP with a Touch Bar. Utterly ridiculous. I look forward to reading about what a stupid technology blunder this was years from now in a listicle of tech mistakes.
