The definition of "serious" developer is changing. An LLM can already produce maintainable, readable, robust code.

It's getting to the point that LLM produced code is indistinguishable from even the best handwritten code.

There's no value in gatekeeping,the code side of software is becoming increasingly democratised, and the barrier to entry is getting closer to no barrier at all.

Enforcing culture is not something I believe is possible. Nobody is going to listen to the C suite suit over their own experience with their colleagues. People just end up saying the right buzzwords to appear that the culture has been adopted, but it will be mostly met with malicious compliance. If the culture is driven by incentives and rewards for behaviour,then that's a whole different ball game.

Not OP, but Monumental is a registered sponsor for highly skilled migrants, which is applicable for the roles listed. So in short, if you got an offer you could be sponsored.

What value do you get from installing tailscale on your robot vacuum?

Looks interesting but €999? Is that a placeholder value?

But that didn't use the H100 I just bought to put me out of my own job!

That's the UK in a nutshell this past decade. Privatise all of the public services for a quick buck, and slowly but surely the service decays whilst the prices for consumers increases. The trains in the UK are a great example of this.

Voron would be my recommendation. It ticks all the boxes of what you need it to do. The only caveat is you need to build it, screw by screw (unless you buy a pre-assembled one such as siboor). It also requires printed parts which can be ordered via Vorons PIF program (high quality, printer-verified parts).

Depending on how easy you find it, it will take at least 10 hours to build. But that is part of the fun.

Software and repairability are there. Spares are cheap and klipper is open source. It can work offline but it works better paired with tailscale. You can upload sliced models OTA.

Slicing models will be the easiest part. I'd recommend the basic orcaSlicer set up for the printer of choice and go from there.

Good luck and have fun. 3D printing has become the most addictive hobby I have ever taken up. Be careful with your time!

I think the point was that the law is not in effect just yet.

Climate change.

Why?

Because it's already killing people every day. And is slowly but surely making our environment entirely unstable. But as a typical consumer we don't have much power to stop it.

Do you need unlimited money? Not necessarily, but there are so many different possibilities when it comes to dealing with it. Carbon capture, green energy, (fusion?!), energy storage, planting more millions of trees, phasing out fossil fuels, holding companies accountable for their use of fossil fuels, the list goes on.

Looking at any one of these would be an expensive endeavour. Hopefully we can find small but very impactful methods in dealing with our climate troubles. Because as someone who turns 30 this year, it isn't looking promising for the next 30 years.

great app, I like the adaptive style, but one piece of feedback is that, sometimes it is not clear what the goal is. For example, the language "Brilliant queen win ahead!" tells me, right, I am going to checkmate for the win with the queen in this game. But, actually the puzzle is to instead win the queen piece. "win" in chess to me always means checkmate.

Overall great app.

Next.js has introduced some keywords such as 'use server' and 'use client' that you enter in the file at the top. Much like 'use strict'. If you attempt to use server code in a client file for example, it will get caught by the ts compiler / Linter.

But for sure the lack of clear lines for where the server ends and the client begins has always been a pain of these kinds of framework offerings.
