Message me and let me know what you were wanting to learn about me here and I’ll consider putting it in my bio.
I definitely feel like I’m more of like a dumpling than a woman at this point in my life.
this would probably just lead to the corporation taking more and more of a role until they take over development of the FOSS projects they care about, which is a particular nightmare I would prefer to avoid
was upset enough when Microsoft bought Github
yes, we already live in that world I think, programmers were always a bit loose on standards, so it makes sense it would slip to new lows. Not sure at what point there will be consequences catastrophic enough that regulations kick in and we start requiring minimal education like other trades (an engineer in any other field has to be licensed and educated, but in software we trust infrastructure to anyone, and there are no guard rails to prevent disaster, it’s all “self-regulated”).
I see people at work (whose backgrounds are as soldiers or line cooks, not computer science majors) using AI to do their jobs.
It’s incredible to me, how incapable the workers are, unable to think through basic problems on their own. We joked about people relying too much on Q&A sites like StackOverflow in the past, but this is an entirely new level of normalized incompetence.
the last paragraph is just saying the young programmers who embrace using AI to generate code are more productive and thus more competitive.
10x refers to being ten times more productive or useful than the average programmer, or a programmer as productive as ten other programmers.
Shipping is when you put out a new feature or product, roughly the same meaning as launching.
AI-native is a buzzword for programmers who have only vibe coded (i.e. used AI tools to do the coding and thinking for them), as opposed to normal / experienced devs who might be more skeptical or hesitant to embrace AI tools.
