  1.  @jonduke4748  Even so, the question is, is the massive investment in nuclear power worth it for LLM use alone? It will already cost a significant amount to just keep up with grid demands for electric vehicles and replacing power generation for existing demand with cleaner sources.

  2. I switched to full time remote dev while working at a factory. It can be done. Must be prepared to work night and weekends for 6 months.

  3. I'm waiting until all the hype dies down and the limitations make themselves clear.

  4. I started late too. I'm just glad I came back and didn't give up completely. Turns out I'm actually good at programming, despite what I told myself at first.

  5.  @20Twenty-3  None of our engineering at a nano-scale holds a candle to life itself. The human body is an unfathomably well designed and interconnected nano-micro-macro machine working in harmony at all scales for a common purpose.

  6. Do you honestly believe life just created this code that happens to work to build everything from simple single celled organisms to the most complex interconnected systems known to man? I think it takes prior and thus supernatural knowledge to make such things.

  7. If step 2.5 is stacking away cash, then you're doing alright. Never take the big salary job for granted, always assume the axe is coming.

  8. Vision is important, but if this worker bee is getting paid and people appreciate his work, I'm ok with that.

  9. If you could clean up the language and degeneracy this could likely get more viral.

  10. Props to you for being willing to give Ruby try. Personally I've always found it intuitive. Not a fan of some of the recent changes they made in v3 like automatically colorizing the console and including autocomplete, but I think they are turning that off now by default after a lot of brew-ha-ha.

  11. And they were 10 years ago too, when people were saying remote work was all a race to the bottom. Here we are 10 years later, and I'm glad I got into the industry.

  12. I was a whole lot happier being a dev than working in 100+ degree heat outside.

  13. He represents the "welcoming" Linux elitist well. "You want good treatment from me? Earn it b*tch!"

  14. All this from Linus is merely justifying abusing people. It makes no sense that being abusive to people would be the default unless they "earn" more from you. That is just a pure bully mentality.

  15. Because he is a d*ck head with a big ego. In other words a typical Linux elitist with poor social skills.

  16. So after he no longer needed to be efficient and productive with a language he chose something based on Lisp.

  17. Yeah I'm with you. Rust code can get hard to understand especially when traits + generics get involved. Not to mention to implement or extend a library.

  18. I have to say I agree.

  19. 12:50 But there is no need for a front end dev to ever know about compilers. They aren't hiring for "compiler expert" :)

  20. It's really pretty simple. Linus is a big shot with a big ego abusing people beneath him because he can. Story old as time.

  21.  @ChrisP872  Every man has the capacity for violence, except some lacking in testosterone. It keeps society orderly.

  22. Part 2 please.

  23. Comments can be useful. They can break up and explain logic blocks without the need for making a new function. Then there are TODOS :)

  24. R&D at Intel was a lot like that.

  25. I'm not going to pretend I'm into some anime I don't give a crap about. I also don't want people faking their interests for me. So it's the golden rule I guess.

  26. If you can't see blatant incivility in the workplace, that says a lot about your character.

  27.  @bensalemi7783  ORMs are used because they are more optimal for most use cases. Sure you can have a developer who has exceptional raw db skills but that also means you're paying for that expertise up front. In a small company, if the query speed is important for some aspect, you learn just enough to fix that aspect and move on. It's cost effective and your end user doesn't care that you followed Uncle Bob or not. If you work at a large company or have unlimited funds, by all means optimize every query to perfection.
