If you can get it implemented for anything you can’t be fired.

We had 3pm coffee club at a previous job. It was great. Had our own slack channel(public). As the minutes counted down people would post gifs counting down (/giphy 4, /giphy 3). Most of the dev team would go. We’d go a heavy coffee shop. The talks there and back were great.

Well, they are providing a valuable service to society. How much money should they be allowed to profit for providing this service?

Same article was written about the proliferation of the Sony Walkman back in the 80s. Same article was written about newspapers on trains. File under “new thing is bad.”

I didn't promote a product. I was showing that low sports radio shows aren't really any better than easy to make AI podcasts that cover the same topics. Just tried and true host personas (the over reactor, the crank seen it all before, the stats guy, the callers) is just wrapped around the stats of the game. People mention claude in their comments all the time and they aren't flagged as promoting a product. The podcast I linked...ah never mind.

I mean, not really? I did make it. Thought it would be interesting. Is that I mentioned the name of a company I used?

Evidently I read the room wrong. Sorry for linking to my little project. Good day to you all!

I've used JWTs for a number of server to server interactions and they are amazing for what they are. I've also told many a front end team member to NOT use them.

My first programming job, I had a private office to myself. It was amazing. I close the door, I’m left alone. I leave it open, people stop and talk and I walk and talk to them if their door is open. Was incredible. Never had anything like it since.

I don't know if everything in the book "Careless People" is accurate, but there's a lot of quoted emails saying that this is all part of Meta's playbook.

New comment by genghisjahn in "Why senior developers fail to communicate their expertise"

genghisjahn — Wed, 13 May 2026 18:09:45 +0000

I've had conversations with people who wanted to learn how to code. I found that teaching someone how to code is tedious experience. It's just a bunch of memorization and bafflement at how quickly someone else can do things at the keyboard. I've since come to realize that wanting to learn to code is NOT a good starting place. It's best to have a vision. What's the problem you are wanting to solve? If writing software is a way to solve that problem...well NOW we have something to learn around. We have a vision. We have a goal. And learning the syntax and cs concepts is no longer an end of itself, it's just an obstacle to get through to accomplish the vision. You bring enough of these visions to completion, you'll find you've cleared a LOT of obstacles and wow, you've gained a lot of software knowledge.
