  • Had an old roommate flame me in his journal, he'd rushed out leaving the page open and I saw my name when I went in his room to drop something off.

    He said some incredibly valid shit about me being condescending and it changed my outlook on my whole life. Nobody lies to their journal.

  • A progressive party would be doomed from the start, the dichotomy of us politics is an issue of inertia not party availability. Unless both parties splinter simultaneously how could it possibly be successful? You think the american people are generally progressive? Look at this last election!

  • Nobody knows the future, but we can definitely speculate. Programming is still a good career if you're talented, but it may no longer be the golden standard of well paying jobs that it has been for the last few decades.

    More important than anything, if you want to program, then do it. Don't wait for university to tell you how, get your hands dirty and start making something cool, a game, a web app, whatever.

    Getting a job is hard for junior devs right this second for largely macroeconomic reasons, that may change in the future or it may not. You can sidestep that issue entirely with a solid portfolio.

    Learn to use the latest ai tools, but don't rely on them to do the work and learning for you, "vibe coding" may or may not be a future career but if it is the salary will likely be significantly lower than software engineering.

    A degree does not make a programmer, but programming does.

  • Unit tests and good architecture are still foundational requirements, so far no bug reports with any of these updates. In fact a huge chunk of these ai updates were addressing bugs. Not sure why you're so mad at what you imagine is happening and making so many broad assumptions!

  • Nah, generative ai is pretty remarkably useful for software development. I've written dozens of product updates with tools like claudecode and cursorai, dismissing it as a novelty is reductive and straight up incorrect

  • I think it really depends on the home, get an inspection to try to see some of the problems beforehand and you won't be caught too off guard.

    For me water is the biggest thing, water in the basement, water through the roof, water by the window sills, it never ends! Every expense seems to be another 5k or 20k, owning a fixer upper is an expensive endeavor

  • These people were treated like slaves, paid virtually nothing and they have to work all day, now they have to fear for their safety even more simply going to their horrible "jobs"? If only empathy was the biggest requirement for hiring people in border management and policing
