I haven't. But I found myself, to my surprise, not particularly interested in trying; which makes me wonder what motivates other developers if not peer pressure or demands for more productivity. I find coding interesting and fulfilling enough to do it on my own. I do ask LLMs questions from time to time, but for that, even a chatgpt or a gemini in a browser tab is enough.

The best experience I had so far is with code reviews, when the models pointed out my mistakes. But I haven't yet gotten to the point where I would want them to write code for me.

What I am selfishly curious about is: is it possible to remain a software developer, and ignore AI? To write code the same way we did before 2022? I understand that there are many companies in which managers demand more of workforce — but are there still places where people are satisfied to not rush ahead and do business same way they did three or four years ago?

In other words, is it possible to not battle with AI trying to get it what we want? Were you forced to do this by your employer, or was this entirely self-inflicted?

Asking for a friend.

I can't say I've noticed any changes about google search on desktop recently. Yes; there is an AI overview widget at the top of the page; but it's been there for at least a year.

Has anything changed about Google search results for you?

Wouldn't node be the safest bet as a dependency?

This is called change :-) Slowly boiling the frogs.

Well. That was about a week ago.

...who invented this letter-casing convention?

    import (
        "embed"
        "html/template"
        "net/http"
    )

    //go:embed templates/*.html
    var files embed.FS

    var tmpl = template.Must(template.ParseFS(files, "templates/*.html"))

but the names of functions accessed via its namespace upper-cased?

how does this make sense?

There are only three major browser rendering engines. One is Gecko, by Mozilla. One is Webkit, currently tended to by Apple. And one is Blink, which is Google/Microsoft. Of those, Blink is the most featureful. That's why.

...as well as the potential to significantly worsen many aspects of society

The CLS measures the total sum of layout shifts over the entire lifespan of a page, not just during initial render.

But I thought everyone was going to lose their jobs...

It's just that the spirit of Google's core web vitals has been to measure the properties of a web page that have the most impact on users. How quickly content appears on a page, how visually stable the content is, and how long it takes the page to respond to an interaction.

In the case of this page, I don't think it can be considered visually stable at all in the first second after it's loaded.

And yet, core web vitals cannot demonstrate this.

I thought that would completely trash the Cumulative Layout Shift core web vital. Because, hey! the layout is shifting in front of my very eyes. But no, the CLS on the page is 0.

Is CLS a misleading metric then?

I am totally with you on axios; but why is express shocking, and what do you expect to see in its place? Fastify? Hono? Node:http?

Yeah; this is what the new iterator methods were intended to solve

What mechanisms do you foresee for it to fail? If stores stop selling cigarettes, the UK will have no other choice but to stop smoking them. I wonder what will come to replace them though. People have a peculiar tendency of forming addictive habits.

Regarding question 2, personally, I am uncomfortable with the idea of a nanny state.
