  1. What kind of strawman are you trying here?
  2. The hardest challenge is not using your phone when sitting on the toilet
  3. Would you mind sharing good and bad examples of prompts? I always read comments like yours and miss examples.
  4. There is no real definition of a senior engineer. Just looking at years served seems is wrong imho.
  5. I worked for two years on a medical app. From my limited experience with audits it was more focused on everything being compliant with the ISO 9001 & ISO 13485. Actual tech audits never happend and stuff like Emailing scanned letters never occured. However this was in Hessen and not Berlin.

    My point being I guess its ok-ish to not know what software libs are, the paper workflow is still horrible.

  6. That has to be about a different Angela Merkel, the one I know had one priority: preserving status quo.
  7. > I’m confident it didn’t cheat and look at the EXIF data on the photograph, because if it had cheated it wouldn’t have guessed Cambria first.

    Hm no way to be sure though, would be nice to do another run without Exif information

  8. For german it works fine, how is duckduckgo doing with catalan?
  9. My initial feeling with kagi is that it feels like google used to before it went downhill. So far I'm testing my first premium month and will continue to use it. It would be nice to have a unlimited search tier without AI thats a bit cheaper tho.
  10. > You are just bad with prompting or working with very obscure language/framework or bad coding pattern or all of it

    You just described every existing legacy project^^

  11. My employer gives me access to Jetbrains AI, I work on a Vue Frontend with a Kotlin Spring Boot backend.

    The codebase is not too old and has grown without too much technical debt, with complex prompts I never had decent success. Its usefull for quick "what does this do" checks but any real functionality seems to be lacking.

    Maybe I'm not refining my prompts good enough but doing so would take longer than implementing it myself.

    Recently I tried Jetbrains Junie, which acts like Claude if I understand it correctly.

    I had a really refined prompt, ran it three times with adjustments and fine tuning but the result was still lacking. So I tossed it and wrote it myself. But watching the machine nearly getting it right was still impressive.

  12. Everyone questioning animals inteligence should live a while with a cat and be suprised
  13. Since when is LoC some kind of measurement?
  14. I'll hijack this to plug Stirling PDF[0], I have it running on a Raspberry Pi with docker compose and from time to time it's incredible helpfull to edit PDFs without sending them to a third party.

  15. I'd say carefully reading and understanding an error message before turning to google/ai
  16. I must compliment your ability to keep the reader hooked, I had to see what chapters they saw, stalked your website and ended up reading the whole post about your pre sale.

    This is pretty off topic but did you test how your book works on an E-Reader? I check a sample chapter and there where a lot of pictures and colors to distinguish information, this will probably not work very well on my Kindle.

  17. So instead of managing your versions in one package.json and installing your dependencies with one npm i command you manage several different docker container that produce builds you then consume?

    What kind of horrors did you encounter that led to this abstraction?

  18. I want to line thinkpads, I really do. But trying a touchpad of a macbook and going back to a thinkpad is a truly horrible experience.

    I'm forever gratefull for the ancient 100€ T400 thinkpad that carried me through my CS degree when I had no money but spending 700+ on something that feels inprecise and jiggery when using is painfull.

  19. I'll check it later to give more constructive feedback, also it seems like you are hammering a backend request with each keystroke (?), cant verify it on mobile but you might consider debouncing the user input a bit to ease off the load
  20. Tried it with unsweetened oat milk and the info was off in nearly every col.

    Not representable because I dont have US food but since its AI enhanced I cant compare my stuff with the stuff in the "dataset" and be sure thats an Us vs germany thing..
