This is what you get by making bots spewing text based on statistics without a proper knowledge base behind it.
I very much agree with this. The relationship between developers and their frameworks is rarely healthy. I think the author misses an important advice though: read the code of your frameworks. When stuck invest sometime stepping into the frameworks with the debugger. Developers too often treat those as a black box.
A very useful but indeed little known feature of Firefox bookmarks.
More marketing announcement than real research paper. Still it's nice to see smaller models being optimized to run on mobile devices. This will get interesting when it's all local first and coupled to symbolic approaches.
uv keeps showing promise to make development easier. It makes everything very much self contained.
Good reminder that /tmp has many security flaws built in.
Definitely a sound advice. You don't want to be confused when debugging something because it looks too much like a variable or a property name.
Definitely the most important skill to develop. Especially in our profession.
Lots of open questions which are left unanswered. That said it shows how difficult it is to evaluate knowledge workers in general and that we're often grasping to the wrong metrics.
This is indeed telling unfortunately. It's kind of ironic that they felt the need of having their own debloat scripts.
This is still an important step with LLM. It's not because the models are huge that tokenizers disappeared or that you don't need to clean up your data.
Another nice list of defaults for SQLite. Some of them I didn't have on my radar.
Very interesting research. Looks like we're slowly moving away from the "language and thinking are intertwined" hypothesis. This is probably the last straw for Chomsky's theory of language. It served us well but neuroscience points that it's time to leave it behind.
Using the right metaphors will definitely help with the conversation in our industry around AI. This proposal is an interesting one.
Since everything has design choices which imply trade offs. Here is the main issue with PostgreSQL right now. Hopefully it'll get modernized at some point.
Looks like we're stuck in the middle of the bridge. Also looks like the motivation to finish the transition isn't high.
Indeed a good way to reason about tests and the value they bring.
Another example of why pytest is really a nice test runner. I really miss it on projects which don't have it.
More signs of the current bubble being about to burst?
Another good set of advices. They're not all technical which is to be expected.
