It happened to me and I refused in an internal email with a lot of people in CC (the CEO was included). I politely explained why it was very illegal and why I wouldn’t do it. They stopped asking me because “they knew that I knew that they knew.”
If it’s the same kind of company, you would say yes, the client would discover the lie, and your company would fire you in less than a few minutes. You usually don’t last long in that kind of environment.
That’s why you must negotiate or clarify what is being asked. Once it has been accepted, it is not ambiguous anymore as long as you respect it.
And NOT yet another front page written in ReactJS.
But it would need to be reliable with a syntax, like some kind of grammar.
AI will replace human beings by generating shitty JS games and solving leetcode problems. But still no concrete example on a real codebase that is not written in JS.
Why are they spending billions on this?
As a new convert to GrapheneOS, I can testify that it has everything you need: Aurora for privacy (Google store proxy), the real Play store if you want, Android Auto, and a lot of privacy features enabled by default. It’s restricted to the Pixels though which is the only issue.
A bit unrelated but anyway:
I could technically afford some of those but I chose to remove all my subscriptions to get a better life for my wife who can’t work. No more fitness apps, music streaming, movie streaming, computer clouds, big projects that have no reason to be there, or stuff where I depend on random companies.
It requires some adaptation but it works fine and I’m now in control which is better: replaced my old Mac (expensive but dying) with a mini-PC with Linux that cost me 150 Euros, replaced my dying iPhone with a cheap Android and a custom ROM, found free courses on YouTube instead of expensive subscriptions, and secured all my files to a few hard drives that I manually backup regularly.
Those subscriptions are small convenient things but it can cost a lot every month. I now have a good routine that’s only 10 minutes of checking some tasks every day, but I gained money thanks to that. And I’m in control of my own destiny which is good.
Last but not least, I’m playing the guitar again and reading books again (yeah, free activities), instead of wasting my time on stupid stuff.
Over-engineered. Too many moving parts. Refactor
Why would a manager give his opinion on code?
Every month. It’s hallucinating APIs and language features.
If you’re a coder, you’ll absolutely love it
Please show me some example of C++ refactoring on a real application, not yet another ReactJS template.
They have done that for years, and every time there is an army of geeks and gamers who look for registry hacks or PowerShell scripts to install Windows anyway. If even those geeks do not want to spend 5 minutes looking for doc on how to install Ubuntu (which is a billion times easier to use than Windows), you can be sure Windows will never die.
Don’t forget that most people do not use external applications such as Thunderbird. You’re a blip on the radar.
That and AI companies not giving a fuck about copyright. I don’t understand those articles.
Browsers with a GUI was a mistake. We should have stayed with CLI tools: telnet, ftp, and Lynx if you really want to read a web site.
Ironic since the decrease of human made work (art or software) will decrease the quality or diversity of generative AI itself
Art is about expressing one emotion from one person to another.
We have a word for fake pictures: advertising.
Moderators are outraged but will forget that in a few days and won’t leave reddit anyway.
It happens all the time with me, I see it as a blessing.
As a new user of GrapheneOS, I have yet to see the difference with regular Android except that it’s way more secure.
Torrenting in a café? Get Mullvad and stop complaining.
