FYI it’s a liberal arts college.

Albeit, a uniquely STEM focused liberal arts college.

It’s legit and their grads are wicked smart.

> When I asked the guy who wrote it what's going on, he admitted he vibe coded the entire project.

This really irritates me. I’ve had the same experience with teammates’ pull requests they ask me to review. They can’t be bothered to understand the thing, but then expect you to do it for them. Really disrespectful.

I’m just one person. So take my opinion for what it is: just my opinion.

I started using Dropbox in high school and it has always “just worked”. I use the native app on Windows, iOS, and OSX. It’s essentially a virtual drive on all my devices and it backs up all my phone’s pictures and videos automatically. I can probably count on one hand the number of times Dropbox has annoyed me in the last 15 years. Maybe it’s overpriced, but at least it’s reliable. That’s worth a lot to me.

I experimented with Google drive as an alternative in college. It worked pretty well on android devices, but there was just enough friction on other OS’s that I abandoned it as a general file system. My g drive is basically just a graveyard of Google docs that I will never care to organize and random gmail attachments that ended up there for whatever reason.

Onedrive is by far the last choice I would make. My only experiences with it are (1) when Microsoft tries to force it on me/upsell me when I’m using office on my personal desktop or (2) when an employer uses it as their approved file sharing system. In my experience, it is consistently the least reliable of the three solutions. While Dropbox “just works”, I fully expect Onedrive to “just make me restart my computer, sign out and back in again, give up and just share the thing through slack.”

Again, just my experience.

Yeah, but then you have to use onedrive…

I took 6 months at 29 and it felt like a lot.

At 34, it still feels like a lot, but I also wouldn’t consider anything less than that a “break.”

Maybe this is a semantic distinction, but I’d say “your ability to convince people (period)” is what becomes more and more important.

Levels really shouldn’t factor into a problem discussion beyond determining who is involved in the discussion to begin with.

I find that hard to believe...

"Cast" is a pretty ubiquitous term and, anecdotally, Chromecast is almost always the device I find when traveling.

Probably selection bias on my part, but I'd expect most people to be aware of Chromecast unless they're over the age of ~70 and fully Apple-oriented.

Seems like throwing away a perfectly well known brand.

I think the other commenter’s point is you can use 2 fields to distinguish between the first field being specified as empty vs absent (or whatever terms you prefer).

E.g.

- type.specified => “”

- type.unspecified => empty

The same technique can be used to disambiguate between 0 and empty.

This seems like a great way to accidentally cause another global extinction event.

I’m probably overestimating the size of the anchor.

At the risk of incurring further downvotes:

- dynamic types

- confusing syntax

- idiosyncrasies in standard functions/libraries

- duck typing

- rails dogmas

Admittedly, my experience is limited (only 1 year of professional ruby dev), but I really did not enjoy my time with the language.

Yep, this is the same as people who tell you not to mark yourself “open to work” because it “makes you look desperate.”

If that’s what some company cares about, then I’m glad they won’t message me.

This looks super neat.

I didn’t see anything on the page about running the tool locally (remote code analysis is a deal breaker).

Anyone know if that’s an option?

There’s a time and a place for checking its work.

Depending on the search, I either don’t care, or I use something like perplexity, which includes its references.
