There was this joke at some point of time:

  Expectations: AI will deliver food to you and your high-paid programmers colleagues
  Reality: You and your colleagues work at Mac because AI took your high-paid programmers jobs

Or, similarly:

> I want AI to do my laundry and dishes so that I can do art and writing, not for AI to do my art and writing so that I can do laundry and dishes.

Precisely

To me the most complicated thing in every project is the business knowledge. It's the tribal knowledge like "do not send null in this endpoint" or what happens when a request A will be send after B was sent to C and the mercury was in conjunction with venus on an odd day of march (answer: everything would explode). And LLM are solving 20% of my work, while the other things are talking to people, inventing new tests etc. I wonder btw. why the LLM bubble created problems on developers' hiring market. Were those companies thinking that LLM will write the code on its own?

For choral music listeners I strongly recommend works of contemporary Polish composers Paweł Bębenek and Piotr Pałka. Some of their pieces are really innovative I'd say, without breaking the classics rules. Also their works has recently been translated quite often to other languages

Ah wayland. Many things changed since the time I've been using Linux in my professional work. However does Wayland support connectivity? I.e. can you display Wayland session on another computer via TCP/UDP? If not then Wayland won't work with wsl2 which is basically a VM

Not in the same way that X does. However, Microsoft specifically implemented an RDP backend into Weston, which ships with WSL2. So the Linux Windows you see are actually being sent over RDP transparently.

wow RDP in Linux. The thing we used to fight for. I must see this. I'm really out of date

Waypipe[0] offers a Wayland alternative for sharing windows over the network.

those sounds are wonderful

Yeh it gets an upvote even just for the plop and ticks :-)

delivery people in my city have already beaten this record driving their e-bikes on the sidewalks

yep, in London it's pretty normal to be driving at 30 and be overtaken by a teenager on a scooter with no insurance, no protective equipment and not a care in the world. They can kill themselves for all I care but they can easily kill a pedestrian or cyclist which doesn't seem reasonable to me.

killing themselves is not the worst thing than can happen to them, and not so likely. Other possibilities involve long years of suffering in bed and on a wheelchair.

But the e-bikes are more heavy and will also likely make other people suffer.


I miss the times when companies were building their brands on trust and honor. I remember calling HP support because I bought a monitor that was probably lying in a warehouse somewhere, and it had some "stain" on the screen. It still had 9 of 36 months of warranty. HP sent a fedex WITH the new monitor and they replaced the old one. Best support ever!

I've been to London recently and was prepared to take the cab but we failed to understand that the blue light is "occupied" and the yellow is "free to hire". Getting to the airport it's easier and cheaper via Uber than a train/bus when you're a 4 ppl family. I would never consider cab to airport, because I don't know how much is it. And the luggage...

handwriting will never end because it develops the brain by the sole action of writing. We should write and learn to think by writing

I'm a 20+ years programmer working with my colleagues who are 2-5 years of experience. I could see they had accepted AI generated tests which are testing solely the mocks. This is quite annoying, because for me, when I want to finish a task properly, I have to write tests from scratch. I'm also using the same AI tool, but I want to use it differently, as a "copilot" and not the "main pilot"
