Reading the context of the YC post (post link is broken), this doesn’t seem like a thing I’d brag about. Sounds like you were just being kind of an asshole, as well as intolerant. There are more amusing and less trollish ways to white/greyhat platforms to encourage people to fix them.
If they require at least a 71yo, assuming the person started working at 16 and has dedicated their entire life to develop software without ever touching management positions, … At what age does people retire in that country??
I can only assume this company put so much effort into their role posting because they’re specifically trying to hire quiet quitters that are concurrently holding five or more jobs. I’d encourage any such persons to apply.
Some of this is just because some of these frameworks and technologies have been around for a while and they iterate frequently. I see a ton of Azure content that is obsolete after only a few years.
I get quite a bit of flak from my colleagues for paying for search, but I kid you not, I don’t regret splurging on a Kagi subscription at all. It’s personally less stressful for me, having to wade through less cruft, and I think I even work significantly faster because of how I use it.
It’s sad when you think about it. Search was such a good experience in the past.
I also pay for Kagi and I’m super happy with that decision. I do wish they’d stop putting so much AI cruft into their search engine, but at least I can disable it.
With most topics, I find fastgpt to be the most up to date, accurate and best sourced. And with just a normal search there’s basically just one expandable strip with AI, no real annoyance for me.
Yes. There is already an answer with many votes saying so, but I’ll add myself to the list.
I don’t have to like all the language, and not even all of the standard library. I learnt C++ with the Qt library, and I still do 99% of my development using Qt because it’s the kind of software that I like to write the most. I can choose the parts that I like the most about the full C++ ecosystem, like most people do (you would have to see how different game development is, for example).
I’m also learning Rust, and I see nothing wrong with it. It’s just that I see C++ better for the kind of stuff that I need to write (at this time at least).
personally I just can’t get over the syntax to even try rust. to me it just looks terrible. I know not everybody agrees though. that and having even longer compile times and no mature gui framework
IMO the syntax is fine except for the borrow checker shit that just looks arcane. The fact that everything cargo drags in is statically linked really turns me off the language for anything serious. It’s really unfortunate because I’d otherwise put some time into learning it, but it seems like the rust foundation is fine with this (ridiculous IMO) workflow.
