If BSD got nearly as much funding I would have switched like 10 years ago

Not a contrarian take, happy that worked for and to hear your success story.

Who initiated the conversation with recruiter? you or them?

Linkedin never worked for me, not in the beginning in my career, not 10 years later but maybe I was using it wrong (first job was some random job board, 2nd was cold emailing a CTO, …)

• 100% drones imported from China and reprogrammed (his business will die the moment there will open competition)

yep, I would rather generate one with Claude to my liking and make it more efficient (target the CLI for example)

(talking about non-trivial code bases here)

Not being able to understand a code base and needing an agent to do that is one thing (skill issue I guess), but not knowing the intention behind a piece of program is a complete different thing (the agent can’t read the mind of the original author on why certain business compromise was made, how the design evolved to this point, …).

I get the feeling all these people defending vibe coding never worked on a non-trivial project and something that has to live and serve large volume of requests for 5+ years.

Sure buddy, whatever makes you feel good.

(you need to work on your reading and comprehension skills, you are still just imagining things)

I am a senior dev (10+yoe) & a PhD, on the side I pushed a new exchanger from dev stage to prod (bitnorm.com), just to say you are assuming too much amigo :)

AI slop, I get it

Blockchain: bruh, what’s next? you can’t use posgresql?

Just more prompting will do + make no mistake

what is the selling point of 1P? my work place are using it, if it’s not open source I am not touching a password manager, trust me bro will not cut it

give them that 300m package

Definitely a nice way to feel in control but not the full picture here.

I maintain solo a largish CQRS created 10 years ago, there are some design flaws (the original author was learning the actor model and used it for practice for the Command part and you can guess how it turned up) + things got out of date (it uses Elasticsearch 1.7 for example), it’s a ticking time bomb keeping me awake at night; I have no way to convince the business people I need a few weeks to bring it back up to speed. The Elasticsearch 1.7 client is logging a lot of warnings regarding inner transport layer (TLS related), a plugin disappeared entirely from the internet and we replaced it with some expensive hacks,… all recent hires are 100% dependent on Claude. At this point I just wish I will be working somewhere when this explodes. Just to say running-untouched-systems can become massive ticking time bombs and not just grow tech debt.

I am self hosting matrix server, set up element in my family devices and for once we escaped the network, from time to time I do create a whatsup account while travelling, but I give up on it right after.

Brave search was surprisingly good, like google when it wasn’t shit.

I (like most devs) could always crap out low quality contributions very fast before LLMs, they could just lower the standards like they are doing now and they can see productivity and tech debt going 10x

What’s even funnier (at least in my current workplace), the budget for LLMs is capped at 20 usd monthly per dev, I can go though that in a 2 hours session with Opus. So make up your fucking mind, do you want the 10x output (and tech debt)? or you don’t?

I caught mine mining btc

have a really bad dev next to you? just hire the same dev a second time and tell them they are now full time reviewers.
