Our Android App is Frozen in Carbonite
  • I don't understand why there aren't more progressive web apps to combat this. Maybe the google drive integration would still be a problem, but you can avoid app store shenanigans by deploying directly to your users.

  • Stack Overflow Survey: 80% of developers are unhappy
  • Why is that? I've read them referred to as dark matter developers (forget where I read this, maybe a book many years ago). They're out there, they make up a majority of the field, yet they leave no trace because they do not blog, post on SO, or back in the day forums either as questioners or answerers.

  • Why Copilot is Making Programmers Worse at Programming
  • I think I could have states my opinion better. I think LLMs total value remains to be seen. They allow totally incompetent developers to occasionally pass as below average developers. Is that good or bad? I don't know. What an average and excellent developer can do with LLM assistance is less clear. Certainly it can help those developers in some situations.

  • Why Copilot is Making Programmers Worse at Programming
  • There are a LOT of superficial devs out there. You dont even have to be interviewing junior devs. Plenty of them out there at medium and senior levels. They existed before LLMs were spitting code like today, and this will undoubtedly lower the bar for bad developers to enter. It remains to be seen if this can help the gold developers in a meaningful way.

  • Why Copilot is Making Programmers Worse at Programming
  • Welcome to the Internet. Pontification is all we've got. Now we've got LLMs regurgitating the old pontifications to make new ones.

    I came in with your same expectations and found the same shit. Just some opinion formed on the basis of "concern".

  • Best Email Client
  • Same here. That works well for desktop, they also have an electron app that wraps their web ui into a desktop app and it works well enough. Bridge works very well for any other desktop app you'd want to use.

    The only trouble is that on mobile your option is their app or the web interface, no ability to use alternative apps. The mobile app is good, but not great.

    Overall its a good service and I'm happy bit you need to know these limitations going in or it could be frustrating.

  • EV sales are growing. So why are automakers getting cold feet?
  • You can't fix stupid. You can argue plugin hybrids are bad on the pragmatic argument that people don't charge them and that's fair, but to say they are the worst is just wrong. The have the potential to be the best.
