Hey man! I've read this article a few times, perhaps from other comments on Lemmy!
Thanks for the write-up. I'm a programmer myself.
Stuck in operations in my new job until we're done with the data center exit/ migration. Anyway cool beans, and very interesting article. Will keep all this in mind if any of my hobby projects take off.
You make it sound like I verbally abuse people for bad code.
It's famously difficult to implement your own time-based systems that also deal with timezones.
Ya know, I'm fairly certain I wouldn't want to work with someone like you either, who seems to jump to conclusions based on an off-hand comment I made that wasn't meant to be particularly cynical.
My main point of the previous comment is that it has nothing to do with JAVASCRIPT, just the developer on the other end. Drawn whatever conclusions you want from that assertion
That is EXACTLY why I don't understand why someone wouldn't just use an NPM package that already has all that stuff sorted out. Could you imagine trying to code to deal with different time zones?
I mean wouldn't any sensible developer just use one of the many npm packages that do count down from UTC?
Which would also be using JavaScript?
Sorry I don't mean to quibble it's just that imo JavaScript has nothing to do with this faulty countdown, it has to do with the developer overlooking edge cases.
I genuinely thought this was a real post at first.
But the responses you're having are just a little too cookie cutter...
Let's say you are a real person and are having this problem. First, congrats on making it to a setting that exposes you to a large number of peers from all kinds of socioeconomic backgrounds.
No matter how much money I have in my life, I think I will insist on sending my kids to public school. That's what I did for all my life and I turned out fine. Just being exposed to everyone else will really help in maturing and having broad life experiences.
And I do have a couple different LLMs installed on my rig. But having that resource running locally is years and years away from being remotely performant.
On the bright side there are many open source llms, and it seems like there's more everyday.
I say this all the time in conversation nobody ever understands what the hell I'm talking about...
