The few times I asked questions I'd get people telling me I should be doing something else, then I'd have to explain why I was doing it this weird way that necessitated me asking this question in the first place and they'd never respond or bother to answer the original question. It was like people only wanted to tell you were you wrong instead of trying to help.

That's half the utility of it. Friends and family use it, I use it when traveling.

MongoDB's biggest weakness was its default settings, which made it insecure and very vulnerable to data consistency failures. An absolute nightmare for PR. It's not perfect, but it's comparable to other NoSQL databases now.

It's a catch-22 because juniors need AI to be competitive, but you need to do the grunt work yourself for a few years before you really build the skills necessary to advance. I can't imagine learning how to do math by simply reading a solution book.

I don't like the UX but the extra controls on ebook rendering was worth the pain for me, since almost all of my time is just reading the ebook anyways.

My assumption is that it exacerbates it, by keeping the primary predator of rats well fed. Are you saying that cats have no impact on rat populations?

When I lived in Chicago I'd see rats and cats eating cat food left out alongside each other. I'm not against helping wild animals as long as it doesn't come with a rat infestation issue.

Thankfully as of now it appears they're very explicit about what content they share that is sponsored. They might be worried about the legislative backlash if they don't.

Regressions is a meaningless metric to me. Every app has bugs, and most are either rarely encountered or aren't breaking the app. All I care about is interruption of service.

Yeah it's a real catch-22. I think you're right though, LLM tech will keep up just enough to replace that lost workforce, till some day development as we know it will no longer exist, perhaps when the code becomes too abstract and complex for normal humans to ever hope to maintain without automation, similar to what happened to most assembly developers when the compiler came along.

The difference is that you already learned how to write code. New devs that go straight to genai are missing that.

LLMs are perfectly capable of translating between programming languages at this point. The main bottleneck for them is logic, not language.

You do get a public IPv6 IP, which is fine for most people (and with a simple script on a cron can keep a AAAA up to date, not that it changes often). And like someone else said, if you insist, you can use something like tailscale to punch a hole in Starlink's global NAT.

Starlink is a problem that solves itself. If enough fiber rolls out that there's no more customers, they'll scale back satellites (since they only last 3-5 years).
