For me when somebody apologizes a lot it feels as though there is a subtle belief that I am the type of person who would be annoyed by the things being apologized for. As though their apology implies that I am an impatient or otherwise short fused person.

It’s important to me that I am patient and forgiving so excessive apologies subtly make me feel like I may be projecting some impatience. Ironically the very activity of constant apologies does lead me to be slightly impatient, quite the conundrum.

What’s the cutoff? Mctiernan wasn’t poor.

Looks like a contributor was in a sanctioned region?

Probably so bluesky can get affiliate money, either changing affiliate links with their own a’la honey or just tracking them to report to advertisers how much traffic is going through their platform to garner deals.

In other words, money

My favorite game of all time right there

Nobody knows the future, but we can definitely speculate. Programming is still a good career if you’re talented, but it may no longer be the golden standard of well paying jobs that it has been for the last few decades.

More important than anything, if you want to program, then do it. Don’t wait for university to tell you how, get your hands dirty and start making something cool, a game, a web app, whatever.

Getting a job is hard for junior devs right this second for largely macroeconomic reasons, that may change in the future or it may not. You can sidestep that issue entirely with a solid portfolio.

Learn to use the latest ai tools, but don’t rely on them to do the work and learning for you, “vibe coding” may or may not be a future career but if it is the salary will likely be significantly lower than software engineering.

A degree does not make a programmer, but programming does.

Have had a lot of good years with gandi.net

Good, what a ridiculous thing to even exist in the first place

Unit tests and good architecture are still foundational requirements, so far no bug reports with any of these updates. In fact a huge chunk of these ai updates were addressing bugs. Not sure why you’re so mad at what you imagine is happening and making so many broad assumptions!

They’re all pretty fired up at the update velocity tbh 🤷

Nah, generative ai is pretty remarkably useful for software development. I’ve written dozens of product updates with tools like claudecode and cursorai, dismissing it as a novelty is reductive and straight up incorrect

To quote a commenter from hn:

To save you wasting 10 minutes: The distinction between programmer and software developer in government definition, led to “programming” jobs dropping by 22%. This doesn’t affect the “Software development” industry which saw only a 0.3% drop.

It is really a click bait.

No big surprise here, Mozilla gets most of their income from Google to make their search the default

Logic and love don’t really mix well, life is a bit fuller when you embrace love and let yourself feel vulnerable even if you know it will end in tragedy

Honestly, that’s fine. This may be a wild take, but they grew and their usage of excel obviously didn’t hold them back, what’s the issue?

I think it really depends on the home, get an inspection to try to see some of the problems beforehand and you won’t be caught too off guard.

For me water is the biggest thing, water in the basement, water through the roof, water by the window sills, it never ends! Every expense seems to be another 5k or 20k, owning a fixer upper is an expensive endeavor

Surely this won’t come back to bite us, fires surely won’t be worse this year with no forest service. The failure to plant new growth definitely won’t be an issue for our grandkids to deal with. The lack of oversight over logging operations surely won’t result in clear cutting.

/s if it wasn’t painfully obvious

Brave sucks

The acab movement has caused more harm than it has salved. Furthering the ideas that there are no good cops means that nobody good will become a cop in the future, furthering the issue

We don’t, but it also doesn’t matter.
