  1. That's called a product engineer, and I can see how this role is becoming more commonplace.
  2. I've seen this point a lot on the web, how people compare AI to junior devs, and bring up the idea of replacement. This is, of course, a pipe dream. In fact, I work with a few people just from the college, and I see how AI helps them get up to speed faster. Even senior engineers benefit a lot from AI coding. Their value to the company is not in how fast they can churn out new code, but in the deep domain understanding they build, and in the agency to drive the project they are responsible for. As for the "destroyed steps behind me", I wouldn't take the same steps if I were starting my career now. My point was to actively seek and learn what's needed by the industry.
  3. Spot on, even though I'm not from the US originally. I changed three countries, chasing the job pool availability. Although I can't say I'm looking down on people who figured out how to live fulfilling lives without a job. I find this extremely fortunate. As for me, when I'm not building software products at work, I do it at home in my spare time. And one thing I noticed is that the job is a great amplifier of my efforts. I don't think I can have the same success or even impact through my pet projects. So, in a way, not being proactive and fully engaged at work is wasting time. Not being lazy per se, even though that might be related.
  4. This suggests a possible trend in which the separation between development and managerial roles becomes less meaningful. We can have more product engineers who combine software expertise with domain knowledge to deliver complete solutions independently. Similar to how people operate in startups, wearing many hats and making progress quickly and autonomously.
  5. I hate how this is acceptable to make such claims about another country without providing any evidence. Same goes for Chinese or Russian hackers. It’s just whoever the US government is unhappy about.
  6. This is beautiful. One thing I'd like to add to the list is:

    How many AI cheaters do you need to catch on the technical phone screening interview to incorporate a habit of doing IRL CAPTCHA challenges?

  7. I was looking for something like this numerous times when working on network automation. Is it open source?
  8. Hi, I'm gauging interest on the topic and building up service audience. Please sign up if you're interested!
  9. Toilet water is a better name for Java indeed
  10. That strikes me how enthusiasts can manage Linux software for free, but multibillion corporation cuts it for “business sense”.
  11. Isn’t it ironic to have this book on Amazon?
  12. As usual on this kind of articles, no details given on how exactly FBI traced the attack to Russia.
  13. I’m most experienced with Python, and I was going to make it work both as hosted and self-hosted.
