>Do you know of anyone declining to work on a project For ethical in their view ( non military non killing) ?

o/

i was offered a high paying job, with relocation to a 1st world country (at the time, i was living in a 3rd world country with high murder rates), to a industry that i consider quite shady (and it's not military and not around killing -- i have no issues with both of those). i politely refused.

most of my friends, at the time, told me that they would've have accepted without even thinking, but for me, it's just not worth it.


and i honestly would rather parse json inside ipython and then move to a script, than keep invoking `| jq` time and time again.


i did this exact thing literally 15 years ago with a simple django app -- there's no way they are using this kind of example in 2025 year of our lord.


most people don't even know how to properly hone a knife since there are specific movements.

i would recommend anyone sending their knives to a professional for sharpening -- you will feel much more confident cutting, and everything will be safer.


It's not really that hard to learn how to hone a knife. There's different techniques that work and I'd think anyone who loves to cook regularly hones their knives anyway.

Now, sharpening is a bit of a different story but also totally achievable with a little investment (money for some stone(s) and time for practice). But you're right, if you cannot be bothered to do that yourself, it's definitely better to have your knives sharpened professionally than to use dull knives in the kitchen.


some social media grifters are boasting this amount of work -- mostly young ai startup founders.

the trouble is, for the amount of work these people claim they are doing, i'm not seeing actual things being shipped.


You'd think that with the 10x speed up from AI-assisted coding combined with the 2.5x working hours from 996, we'd be drowning in unicorn IPOs by now.


It's hard to imagine how much will be shipped if they really do vibe coding 996! It's like a x20 engineer!


orbstack is absolutely amazing. not only the docker side works much better than docker desktop but their lightweight linux vms are just beyond great.

i've been using an archlinux vm for everything development over the past year and a half and i couldn't be happier.


almost the same reason i started using arch: i wanted to install linux into my macbook, and the only wiki with enough info to make it work was arch's.


django is the framework that made me fall in love with software development 18y ago.

everything just worked out of the box (compared to using java + spring and their endless xml config files), the orm was (and still is!) lovely compared to other solutions, and there were so many things included, that i never really had to go integration hell.


kind of of topic, but i had to google to find out which female part rhymed with dolores, because it made no sense to me (as an ESL).

(for people wondering, it's clitoris).

In (American, at least) English, there's a very common pattern of vowel reduction on unstressed syllables, resulting in "schwa-ification" [0][1] where all such vowels become indistinguishable from each other.

In this case, we say "duh lorr uhss" instead of "do lor ez". The second one doesn't sound like clitoris at all, but the first one.. okay it doesn't sound similar to me either, but it's closer at least.

[0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_phonology#Unstressed_s...

[1] "schwa" is the name of the mid, central, unrounded vowel, IPA [ə]


I have to say that, the vast majority of the time, the way I've heard and said the word "clitoris" doesn't rhyme at all with "Dolores," so I wouldn't have been able to guess it either.


i don't know about you, but i would never EVER submit a PR that fails to compile. not tests are failing, those happen (specially flaky ci), but not compiling.

that's literally the bare minimum.


and you think this beta system that launched like 2 days ago can’t achieve that?

it also opens the PR as its working session. there are a lot of dials, and a lot of redditor-ass opinions from people who don’t use or understand the tech


what i see is a human telling the "AI" that the code does not compile

what use is a bot if it can't do at least this simple step?


it can do this step. once again, this launched 2 days ago and people are using it for the first time

if you have used it for more than a few hours (or literally just read the docs) and aren’t stupid, you know this is easily solved

you’re giving into mob mentality


So everyone who doesn't worship "AI" is stupid? :)


is that what I said? if you can’t read documentation and follow basic instructions to get a tool to work you’re stupid. you asked a snarky question like it’s some gotcha. once again, if you actually use the tool and read the docs and can’t figure it out, I think it’s a skill issue


The gotcha is you seem to consider it normal to push code that doesn't qualify even for "it works on my machine".
