I agree that Europe as a collective is lagging behind. But, without the EU it would be much worse. Imagine having to deal with each members’ bureaucracy with rules that might contradict each other. That’s where we were. For trade and collaboration within the EU this is preferable. Even for countries outside this is beneficial: you only need to consider one set of regulations and tariffs.

While writing this, the thought occurs that having a single authority and regulator puts little checks on the amount of regulation. Whereas multiple competing countries could limit it to not have their own industries at a disadvantage. The EU, of course, has this in relation to China, US, etc., so I don’t know…

Not payroll but 15 years ago I worked in a fairly large company where billing (in a smaller subdivision) was completely reliant on excel.

I actually made this as a skill last week. It is helpful. Especially when reviewing a PR with 1500 LOC from a non-dev. It keeps me focused an helps me do a structured review. But it does not catch poor decisions, like calling the wring endpoint a such.

I also hate reviewing my own ai generated code. Worse; it’s impossible for me to keep focus. So I created a skill to keep it interesting. It’s nothing more than a prompt that asks the ai to ask me questions about the code. Starting at high level, like ‘Describe the core responsibilities of X, Y, and Z in a sentence or two. From that it goes deeper. It is also instructed to summarise based on my answers. If I give a wrong, or vague answer it will flag it as code that might be problematic.

Mostly, this helps to keep me focused and really understand the code. It’s not perfect. On two occasions a secondary human review found a critical bug, like calling a non-user-facing endpoint (but with similar name).

I sense sarcasm. But I think you misinterpreted the parent’s point. I read it as: yes, Carmack has made huge contributions but, has not publicly released anything noteworthy since the advent of AI coding. Of course that doesn’t mean he won’t, just that so far nothing he released has backed up his statement.

There are dozens of us. Dozens.

Done. Added scale selector, and you can now mark any city/town as a favourite. Thanks again for the feedback

Thanks for the feedback. Highly appreciated. As a European I totally forgot about Fahrenheit. Will add.

Good point about being able to click the name before zooming in. Will add that as well.

The favorites should stay visible when zooming out. Will check.

I recently bought a Mac mini M4 16 GB - mostly to run Immich. I assumed I needed a Linux box. After a lot of researched I was quite surprised that the mac was the cheapest option. So not always an Apple tax.

In the company I’m at this is beginning to happen. PM’s want to “prototype” new features and expect the engineers to finish up the work. With the expectation that it ‘just needs some polishing’. What would be your recommendation on how to handle this constructively? Flat out rejecting LLM as a prototyping tool is not an option.
