Maybe we work at the same company. I have the same experience. Don't know why people use it.

I interviewed someone once for a fullstack role, gave him a mockup of a screen we had to build and asked how he would do it, in short some things on top of other things. The only thing he managed to say was how he would divide everything into components. I thought man, so many devs don't even know how to use html/css anymore, but who's laughing now, you just need to prompt a coding agent.

So you think most engineers are not capable to work in a group, without supervision? Who's insulting? "If you don't know what you're doing" = "You're out of depth and you need someone to guide you through"

For me the best moments at work have been when the direct manager was sick or on a very long holiday. We're adults, why would I need someone to tell me 'I agree with you', 'go ahead, I trust you'. Maybe if you don't know what you're doing, or you can't manage the stakeholders, but otherwise, the manager just gets in the way, unless they know how to make themselves invisible, or they have the connections and will to propel your career forwards I've had plenty of managers in 20+ years

So what could you do that people paid you 300/hr? And how long where these gigs?

yolo3000 — Fri, 08 May 2026 12:39:10 +0000

Today I had to edit in MacOS a pdf which had some text fields. It had 3 places which resembled checkboxes, so in those I was able to place an `x` character. When I saved it and previewed it, the `x` was in 2 places, but not the third. I tried several times but couldn't make it work. I gave up, started a Claude session, and asked it to fill in the `x`. 4k tokens of Python later it managed to place the `x` correctly.

I find it absurd how she generalized that Western Europe is complaining a lot and less pragmatic than whatever. The same for working remote but not having the chops like the 'Bay Area'. Could have been a serious question as well, why do you find it absurd?

Why do you even hire in Europe when the smartest people are in the Bay Area?

yolo3000 — Wed, 22 Apr 2026 19:15:42 +0000

So is DuckDb a database or a cli tool to query all sorts of file format using SQL statements? I've used it as a CLI tool, somehow don't understand the comparison to a database, which stores your data reliably, besides responding to your SQL queries.

Afaik every company has a DNB number. It's a credit risk company which sources company data from every country.

It doesn't feel like you keep calm 'because he won the elections'. It's either that citizens can't do much in the US, fear of getting killed is real especially when disobeying police orders, or, you aren't too affected by Trump's actions to act.

I'm curious how the ring detected it in advance? I also discovered my Covid when I looked at my Garmin watch and my resting heart rate was 100, until then I had thought I had too much sun that day.
