Is that a problem?

Nicely done! And yes, I'd love to see it open sourced.

As much as Micro$oft is ... subpar, .NET never fails to amaze in the last couple of years. Kudos to the team.

Immich is wonderful, but if you're mostly looking for a solution to take your mind off the problem and don't want to self-host, try Ente photos.

Ugh, I see "future" and "meta" in the same sentence, hard nope

The author is conflating coding with other parts of the sw engineer role.

Yup, if you know what to point it at - where does _that_ skill come from? Experience.

Wherever I worked (and as long as it was up to me), the mindset and expectation was that a junior we hire will need to become a medior in max 2 years. Of course, we provided the right investment (environment, mentorship, coaching, learning budget). This also acted as a filter at hiring. This way the question was never "for today's tasks do we need a senior OR a junior".

About AI: Unless there's another breakthrough, AI is not getting significantly better. A junior with 2 years of proper training easily surpasses AI in judgment and arch design skills, etc. - and you will need seasoned engineers to make the calls and shepherd AI even. Where will those people come from if nobody is investing in juniors?

If you do your hiring (and then mentorship) right, even such juniors can skyrocket in 1-2 years. AI won't do that. So, in case of willing juniors, you get much, much more "out of them" soon, if you invest a little. They will be able to tackle problems you can't solve by "throwing more AI at it"

Huh? How so? Please add some sources

Nope, it's the lawyer firms that come after you. Google removes reviews on request for its own comfort, but if you provide proof, they put it back. Then the lawyers come.

This is lovely

No, no, much better: make it a SKILL.md ;)

I think Liquid Glass is a general UX/Product blunder, not a deliberate evil masterplan to force users to buy new phones.

Doesn't match my personal experience over a handful of iPhone generations. I know, anecdotal only, but still.
