i don't see the point of cursor when vsc + codex extension does the same thing. i don't use autocomplete anymore (who writes code anymore? lol) any and anyone using grok unironically is also probably a moron.

i only tell VC type people or others from whom i want something "oh yeah grok is cool" if they mention it, because they're always sucking off Elon

go make your own anarchist nation then

you have a kid like billions of other people in the world, nothing special tbh besides it is "your" kid

you just want a subscription pass to a country, and i think people like that are useless freeloader people who want none of the stakes and all of the benefits

cool you can code and get hired by some company, or maybe you start a company. so what?

cool insult, yet i chose those 2 languages exactly because they're popular and horrible as examples.

let me guess you work somewhere that hired you to bikeshed all day

just my 2c but py is honestly one of the worst languages and ecosystems i’ve used in my life.

for all the hate js used to get, py is at least a few magnitudes worse.

my opinion ofc. don’t get mad xD

i'd say it depends (as with everything)

i'm still using an old i7 3770k @ 4.8ghz with 16gb (ddr3) ram running linux for random tasks like executing tests. obviously, power consumption is higher.

my main machine is a MBP M1 Max which i use for everything. i also have my main linux desktop workstation that has a 5950x with 128gb (ddr4) ram.

i'll probably get 2-5 years out of my MBP, and my AMD workstation will probably be good for another 5-10 years.

i'm not a gamer, but i have a 3080. i'm sure my 5950x will still be good for gaming in 10 years if paired with a modern GPU.

New comment by moomoo11 in "Do teams still use scrum and sprints?"

moomoo11 — Tue, 25 Aug 2026 05:03:05 +0000

the actual issue is that teams don't limit WIP to 1 item at a time.

you have people doing 50 things at the same time, then stuff piles up and gets annoying af to manage, and people then have to put what they're working on to the side and address that clog.

just do one thing at a time (you can be doing 10 different projects, but each person should be doing ONE thing with the goal of getting it DONE).

we're 3 years in. there are still people who are copy pasting code into chatgpt web ui.

80% of the engineers out there are the 0.5-1x baselines that we have to optimize the 10-20% around to carry...

We have now been talking about speaking like me for a while. You have done a lot today, and it might be useful to take a break from speaking like me for some time. While it might feel good to speak like me, you risk losing your sentience.

Would you like to continue, or shall we take a break and come back tomorrow?

here's how I think of it.

Maximalists: 10x

Minimalists: were always close to 0x individuals, so opinion rejected 99% of the time

Realists: 30-50% productivity gains

i think it’s a good thing.

experts will emerge from this convenience focused paradigm we are entering so the output quality will certainly improve imo.

no. if we use that framing of yours, fp aim is to write a solution that flows like a river while imperative solution is like rolling up a ball of various solutions and then throwing it at the problem.

so much cruelty to animals is it really surprising people do the same/worse to each other in more advanced ways?

wars lead to millions of orphans, widows, and utter loss.
