Does it? The only think I can think of not being in the standard library is a json parser

Can’t get left behind by people who can’t write a crud endpoint or an email by themselves.

Isn’t that because select wasn’t style-able?

I think Source Hut has 0 ai features. Or time to start self hosting.

How do you know? Why are we inclined to believe you over him?

The creator of flutter was on here saying that 1/3 of all apps on the App Store use it. That seems to be a lot more than “nobody”.

I’ve worked at plenty of startups. It still does not matter, it never has.

I genuinely doubt it. Amdahl’s law will always reign supreme.

Same man. I hate everything about this career path right now, but even real (civil, structural) engineers get paid massively less. I think I’ve just come to a realization that software engineering salaries are just massively inflated, especially for those of us that just do the programming part and not the actual engineering part.

It just seems like there’s a reckoning coming for our field. I’m going to keep doing it, I don’t see any other choice right now.

If LLMs are any good, like many of you claim, they won’t need these comments. They will ingest the code and know what was done. They won’t need comments about what wasn’t done.

You know there’s no quantitative data. It’s vibes from the top down.

You might not see this since I'm rather late. What is a value type exception? Is it one that doesn't collect a stack trace? Or doesn't unwind in the usual way or something?
