Some of us never left :D

They mostly help with centralising UI concerns. I’d imagine your camera app has less of that type of code and more code related to the respective camera APIs, which those frameworks don’t help much with. So I’d say no.

It's cute but are there any actual nerds left in big tech leadership? Of the magnificent seven we basically only have Jensen Huang left as a technical leader and maybe you can count Zuckerberg.

Yes, it's a leadership failure and probably time to go, it only gets worse. In my experience. It's a vicious cycle where, as velocity slows, inexperienced leadership gets more and more panicked and starts frantically rearranging projects, features and people in desperate attempts to fix the problem, obviously exacerbating the communication breakdown and gridlock further. It also builds resentment and can turn pretty toxic as everyone starts just looking out for themselves.

Yeah I think they all shed under heavy load as part of some scaling strategy.

In most trading advice, cutting loses as soon as possible and as emotionlessly as possible is emphasised heavily. It's also physiologically one of the hardest parts for people to do consistently.

I don't shoot 120, only 35mm. But I thought you could get away with a high end flatbed scanner for 120 negatives?

The developer fee is a business expense for anyone publishing software as an entity on the App Store. This is the same as any other expense someone might require for their profession, it doesn't have anything to do with their financial security.

Just a heads up from someone who's gone down iCloud sync path before. Make sure you're aware of the tradeoffs before relying on it for your app. It has a lot of downsides that aren't immediately obvious due to it relying on the user's iCloud storage quota. Many user's don't understand this and will leave 1 star reviews etc.

Had a coworker paste an error log from a repo I maintain in Slack with an LLM summary of the log, three dot points which were written quite clearly in the log if he’d bothered to read it.

There's no incentive for them to do so, so they won't.

There's a lot to unpack here but to me your comment sort of contradicts itself. You're saying these things are in their infancy and therefore not able to produce code at the standard of a skilled software engineer. But you also seem to have an axe to grind against code review, which is fine but wouldn't that mean code review is even more important? At least right now? Which is kind of the point of the article.

You can do over 100k if you freelance but it's risky to be a freelancer in a lot of ways in Germany. Salaries in Berlin and Munich are approaching 100k or over for leadership roles. The problem is COL in both cities is high and Berlin you basically can't get a flat anymore even if you can pay the rent on it.
