The RC Helicopter mission was already frustrating back when the game came out, I vividly remember that mission

Don't get me started on the "templating" for Twitter Articles, it doesn't even support markdown...

I bet subs are not their main source of revenue (by far), big cos are throwing big dollars to them, offering things like this entrenches these corps more into their products (makes it harder to just switch to OpenAI if your entire infra is built on top of their products)

This movement is brilliant for them

I have rejected a proposal of introducing a mapping library, LLMs can do mapping code very very easily with almost no downsides

ORMs would be my next battle, but SQL injection could become an issue if not treated carefully, so I would still consider libraries like SQLDelight or other SQL first libraries

You just have to duplicate things a bit more, but with the help of LLMs building the queries is very simple and extending them even easier

I spend around 30%, if not more of my work time on Slack (collaborating with others, solving customer issues, searching, documenting)

I want that experience to be good, and not using a subpar tool like (Teams, IRC etc)

As a rule of thumb, I want to use the best tool available for the job, IntelliJ for the IDE, the best coding model (whatever that is at the time), the best Video call tool, the best monitor, the best keyboard etc

Although best is usually subjective, in some of this cases what is "best" is objectively clear, in some cases the gap between the best and the next one is small in others is huge. In the case of communication tools I think the difference is huge.

Is this needed to do my work? nope It makes working more pleasant? definitely yes

March - early June or Mid September - November

Avoid July and August, horrible heat and most people have left the city

Yep, those tasty formation and travel budgets are also being squeezed in the quest for profits, reducing the market size for these tech events...

Working as a contractor for a public entity, I can't think of anything that I would like to do less than that...

Always focus on PPI, some rough numbers

27” 5k (5120 x 2880) -> 218 PPI

32” 4k (3840 x 2160) -> 137.68 PPI

34” 5k (5120 x 2160) -> 163.44 PPI

39,7 5K (5120 x 2160) -> 139.97 PPI

Apple Pro Display XDR 32" 6k (6016 x 3384) -> 218 PPI

There are many taxes that are not paid on profit... VAT/sales taxes, property taxes and a big etc

ABNB creates externalities to the countries where it operates (increase rent prices), so it would make sense to tax them because of it.

And if they don't like the tax, they are free to stop operating in that country ;)

It is way easier for me to read than what you proposed in Typescript, more characters to write? sure but how many times do I have to write a piece of code and how many times do I have to read it?

I guess ultimately it depends on which language you are more familiar with...

Thanks!

You can still have senior engineers for less than 100k€ (including taxes and everything that the company have to pay for)

That’s even cheaper if you hire them as contractors
