I think they're just naturally gifted, they don't even have to study this.

so many of the people who for years wrote about how the actual duty of a senior software developer is to remove code from the codebases and to mould the junior coworkers into fully-fledged professionals are now enthusiastically writing about inducing confabulation machines to extrude enormous amounts of code-like product, and how glorious it is that the infinite lies machine made junior developers obsolete.

Looks at #HaikuOS …

@andrewrk Does that include your code generation backend / LLVM replacement?

@joe @slava You should make a bot that just randomly replies this in systems programming threads.

@jwz GMail's global usage dropped from ~60% in 2022 to ~43% in 2024. And these days, most of the people I know are on smaller providers, if they don't run their own server.

Being able to use your own server or choose from thousands of providers, for something that is accepted and used almost universally on the entire Internet, is obviously still a massive success story. And the size of some of the providers doesn't change that.

Of all the questionable things about AI, I'm starting to think its biggest crime is simply the staggering amount of resources it has pointlessly drawn away from other, more important work and the way it has corrupted even organisations that were previously doing great work in some misguided, race-to-the-bottom belief that this is actually the most important thing for humankind.

can't wait to hear who won the FIFA prize for literature

Go is what happens when you use C for decades and come up with a load of great ideas to improve it, and then implement them. Along the way, taking great care to never look at any ways other people have improved on C.

It is a language that containers every good idea Rob Pike ever had, and none of the good ideas people who are not Rob Pike ever had. Which would be more excusable if it weren’t the second language to merit that description.

It turns out that there are a lot more smart people in the world who are not Rob Pike than who are.

The older I get the less impressed I am about ideas and the more I realize it's about the ability to actually deliver and turn those thoughts into something real.
