Damning how the EU is trying to quietly pass a bill TOMORROW that would mandate all private communications can be monitored under the pretext of child safety.

This would mean forcing backdoors into eg WhatsApp, Signal: or banning those services.

Nuts that it is even considered.

We must always do our best to avoid mocks when testing the behaviour of our code. If we feel that there is no other way to test some behaviour but to use mocks, it's a very clear signal that something is wrong with our design.

They've gone full mask-off: 𝐝𝐨 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 trust @OpenAI or its products (ChatGPT etc). There is only one reason for appointing an @NSAGov Director to your board. This is a willful, calculated betrayal of the rights of every person on Earth. You have been warned.

Don’t ask for permission to do Test-Driven Development.

You don’t ask for permission to design your code.
You don’t ask for permission to commit your code.
You don’t ask for permissions to document your code.

Don’t ask for permission to develop it with tests.

Be professional.

Doing Leetcode is the worst way to prepare for a high-paying job as a software engineer, but the best way to get one.

Doing Coding Challenges is great way to prepare for a high-paying job as a software engineer, and a good way to get one.

Cancel your daily standup and see if it impacts delivery at all.

My bet is it won't and people will communicate with each other, unblock themselves and let you know if they need help.

[Kyle Chayka @chaykak]

it's hard to overemphasize this: Google and OpenAI have no plan for how or why people will generate *new, correct information* in the age of generative AI search

@aheritier If it's done in the purpose of helping the employee to growth professionally, il would say I like it. If it's a tools to micromanage or sthg else, it's toxic

Videogame industry, localization, and the abuse of ‘AI’ #AI #translation

Some time ago, we had a call with a big, Localization Service Provider company. They asked us to work on a big, dialogue driven videogame project using Machine Translation post-editing and review. (1/16)

#Java @springframework Tip: you can convert String RequestParams directly to LocalDate at the request level using the @DateTimeFormat annotation. You need to specify the pattern. It can be your own or ISO patterns. No need for converting it 'manually'. https://t.co/V3bwJ9fM5X

Dear tech leaders,

Employees don't need the free pizza and happy hour in the office.

Employees need trust to do their best work, and flexibility to enjoy their own life.

Let them work remotely. Enjoy creative and productive employees. Not burned out commuters.

Thank you!

Google firing excellent software engineers with no explanation, just as its valuation reaches the all-time high:

If this doesn't explain how the software engineering market is changing dramatically, I don't know what does.

It's not a pretty reality: but better to know about it.
