I like the idea, but why not implementig it with a simple commit hook?

New comment by pagutierrezn in "AI was supposed to help juniors shine. Why does it mostly make seniors stronger?"

pagutierrezn — Sun, 21 Sep 2025 05:48:37 +0000

AI is filling "narrow" gaps. In the case of seniors these are:

-techs they understand but still not master. AI aids with implementation details only experts knowb about

- No time for long coding tasks. It aids with fast implementations and automatic tests.

- No time for learning techs that adress well understood problems. Ai helps with quick intros, fast demos and solver of learners' misunderstandings

In essence, in seniors it impacts productivity

In the case of juniors AI fills the gaps too. But these are different from seniors' and AI does not excell in them because gaps are wider and broader

- Understand the problems of the business domain. AI helps but not that much.

- Understand how the organization works. AI is not very helpful here.

- Learn the techs to be used. AI helps but it doesn't know how to guide a junior in a specific organisational context and specific business domain.

In essence it helps, but not that much because the gaps are wider and more difficult to fill

I suspect that there are no many cases of serious backend Java applications in the cloud. Mainly because they are typically integrated with legacy and/or propietary infrastructure that doesn't go well with the cloud. However, I would be happy to be wrong and read about existing cases.

He might be right. Browsers come with CAs from EU states (or agencies controlled by states) for the last 10 years (at least). I work for a public admin in Spain and our site uses one of such CAs and browsers accept it without problems. So I believe that eIDAS has to do with personal identification rather than TLS.

Unbelieveble the effort invested in demonstrating that LK-99 is not a superconductor. Humans work like crazy when the oportunity arises to ridiculize others. If only...

My mothe-in-law is almost deaf. However, as you said, she is a good example of a "super-powerful text predictor". She almost always predicts what you're talking about even not hearing a single word. And most of the time she offers meaningful answers just as GPT does. But not always (same as GPT)

I don't expect, however, that she will program front ends any time soon

pagutierrezn — Thu, 02 Feb 2023 18:10:14 +0000

The proposal from the EU is not the first step towards the end of our privacy. In fact, it is the last one. Everyone else does already have our data, they just want what the rest already have.

TBH, I think we've lost every opportunity to correct this. And I'd be happy to be wrong

Letting the versions of your project dependencies float without control guarantees some headaches.

And, of course, the Fast & Furious dependencies development lifecycle has some side effects
