The idea is that sculpted ideal code is rarely the best choice.

It depends. If I invite you to my house, I don't really care unless you're too early or _very_ late.

If we are to meet in public - like restaurant - I don't want to awkwardly wait 15 minutes or more. At the very least, early notice is an obligation.

If you somehow imagine our companies in Poland (which are mostly western companies) are somehow giving workers here a bigger slice of pie, you are fed some weird propaganda. Our taxation is even worse if you look at exactly the same salaries.

Our success story is the same as recent India one - we're just much smaller. We have educated population that was underemployed and poor, and western companies jumped at opportunity of replacing entry and mid level positions with cheaper workers, across both factory and office work.

Split the PR rather than force me to wade through your commit history. Use graphite or something else that allows you to stack PRs.

In my case, it's .github/CODEOWNERS.

Nobody is afraid of changing it.

Ground heat pumps still use electricity.

> Developers don't want to use Windows anymore.

I mean, did they ever?

I've been programming just since ~2010, but I've only ever saw majority prefer macs due to hardware (with exception being late intel macs) and linux on the regular PCs.

With exception of game devs, I've not seen person who _happily_ defaults to windows, not due to fact that they have to because of company policy or because company is too cheap for an Apple device.

I find it a bit amazing that we're all still able to work somehow, when surrounding with all those distractions.

Most companies forbid it though, since you're not covered by any legal protection - for example, Anthropic can use your data or code to train new models and more.

The capitalists realized that if they literally starve the working class there will be revolution. But if they produce enough so they can sustain (barely) rest of the people with 1% output while they consume 99%, it will be okay.

So don't worry, you'll have basic ~~income~~ soylent green.

Because it's way too high bar to be 100% sure outside of few niche fields.

They are. And we have processes to minimize them - tests, code review, staging/preprod envs - but they are nowhere close to being 100% sure that code is bug free - that's just way too high bar for both AI and purely human workflows outside of few pretty niche fields.

Why would you ever, outside flight and medical software, care about being 100% sure that the change did not introduce any bugs?

It's out to get you whether you have a credit card sized piece of plastic or not. Dying on that hill just creates so much wasted time and money for everyone.

For example, all those stupid voter debates becomes moot.

>They "eliminated" extreme poverty caused by communist control in the first place, by going to a capitalist system.

Not a fan of CCP but pretending like there was no extreme poverty in China before CCP is insane position.

Funny how Poland is above Germany, yet I still feel the numbers are low - probably that's just my bubble though.

The net per capita amount we get is dropping every year - mostly by the fact the contributions are rising fast.

There are countries getting much more per capita.

And no one is close to Luxembourg.
