That’s some juicy drama

Stop transfering people from sales to engineering!

'I’m a bad programmer" then later lists extra curriculars that dwarfs my skills

I don’t think the issue is him; it’s the economy. Companies are probably not really looking to increase their workforce but still conducting interviews just in case they find a “Rockstar”

I always right my code linearly like on the left example with comments like further in the articles. Actually what I do if I right all the comments first and then add the code. If I push my code like that everyone immediately understand my code find bugs & potentiel issues with it and then tells me to refactor it in whatever flavor of best practice they like. If I structure it like on the right reviewers still complain about the structure I choose but never identify any bug or other real issues.

All my career everyone would say elegance and cleverness are bad but everyone who gets promoted are the one who insist on elegant and clever code. I guess it’s because their confident and vocal and that’s what human are programmed to pick as leaders

That’s accurate. There’s always a few steps not included in the tutorial

That would cover like 80% of my work related usage of chatgpt and do stuff I didn’t think of outsourcing to AI. I’ll probably unsubscribe from co pilot too.

Can’t wait for it to be in Goland.

What’s the name of that safer alternative?

A more useful guideline would be something like: how to steer a conversation to be constructive for both parties.

I couldn’t get chatgpt to make this into a spectrum like in the pyramid but if you invert the order of the negative impact section and concatenate it after the positive liste you get the text for that pyramid. It does make sense though

Positive Impact:

1. Collaborative problem-solving
2. Active listening and empathy
3. Finding common ground
4. Constructive feedback
5. Open-ended questions
6. Positive tone and inclusive language
7. Clarifying and paraphrasing
8. “I” statements
9. Avoiding defensiveness and judgment
10. Seeking solutions together

Negative Impact:

11. Interrupting or talking over the other person
12. Dismissing or invalidating the other person’s perspective
13. Using aggressive or confrontational language
14. Making personal attacks or insults
15. Ignoring or belittling the other person’s feelings
16. Dominating the conversation and not allowing equal participation
17. Stonewalling or refusing to engage in discussion
18. Manipulating or twisting the other person’s words
19. Engaging in passive-aggressive behavior
20. Refusing to consider alternative viewpoints

There’s also the more potent: “you are right”. Although it has many draw backs

It’s getting really hard to find a high end phone that fits in my jeans’ pocket

“Google is in every part of this value chain. As we see it they hold a dominant position in both the sell side and the buy side in order to favor their own ad exchange,”

I have seen ad tech middlemens that ~75% of the ads they “buy” come from Google dv360 and ~75% of all ads they sell was to Google ad manager.

The only close competition to Google is Facebook and Amazon mostly because they have their own closed garden big enough to sustain ad exchange. On the open web (random apps and websites) it’s all Google.

Not sure about the scaling part

I have work on a large application using perl and the readability and maintability where horrendous. The performance where surprisingly good enough (millionsn of request a day); although switching to go (direct translation without any refactoring or usage of fancy go features) yield huge gains in latency and memory usage.

I have work with go, PHP, java, and JavaScript on large application and they all way better than perl. Not even comparable.
