Unfortunately some developer tools fail to work correctly in separate worktrees. I used them for a while but had to give them up. For example, Maven’s release plugin cannot reliably create tags / branches if you’re in a separate worktree.
Not everybody cares for SEO BS
Dude, the problem is you have no fucking idea if it’s wrong yourself, have nothing to back it up
That’s not true. For starters you can evaluate it on its own merits to see if it makes logical sense - the AI can help solve a maths equation for you and you can see that it checks out without needing something else to back it up.
Second, agentic or multiple-step AI:s will dig out the sources for you so you can check them. It’s just a smarter search engine with no ads and better focus on the question asked.
I just got Android 16 via OTA update yesterday. Nothing changed.
How about jabber/XMPP
I gamble very rarely and am fully aware of its expectation value. But when I do gamble I still enjoy it, in the same way I might enjoy an amusement ride. Sure I part with some of my money but it’s just the fee for some thrill and entertainment. Roulette can actually be fairly cheap and a nice way of socializing with others.
If you start thinking of it as a way to earn rather than waste your money, you’re lost.
It kinda makes sense at the back of the car, less so at the front
But why is it human nature to put a bench right where people are walking. It’s like people in charge get off on creating obstacles for the common man just to feel powerful.
This reads like The Onion for IT geeks
It’s both. Always was, always will be.
sometimes, it feels like managers hate engineers
They hate engineers because the engineers ask difficult questions that somebody needs to answer in order to really automate a process, and they take the time necessary to do so.
SQL was explicitly designed to allow “normal humans” to query the database. Nowadays even “normal developers” aren’t able to use it properly.
Oracle has a product called Oracle Policy Automation (OPA) that it sells as “you can write the rules in plain English in MS Word documents, you don’t need developers”. I worked for an insurance organization where the business side bought OPA without consulting IT, hoping they wouldn’t have to deal with developers. It totally failed because it doesn’t matter that they get to write “plain English” in Word documents. They still lack the structured, formal thinking to deal with anything except the happiest of happy paths.
The important difference between a developer and a non-developer isn’t the ability to understand the syntax of a programming language. It’s the willingness and ability to formalize and crystallize requirements and think about all the edge cases. As an architect/programmer when I talk to the business side, they get bored and lose interest from all my questions about what they actually want.
Did anyone catch what the Proton app adds over all the already existing apps?
