Random musings: So is it safe to say that pair programming has now been replaced with pair prompting? 😂

@gothburz This strategy is effective only when the other stakeholders are not coders or don’t have extensive coding experience themselves. If they do, the discussion quickly turns into “Why would this take two weeks? I can do it in a couple of hours,” and so on.

Story of my @letsblinkit experience in 3 screenshots.

I reached out to support twice yesterday and today the app tells me the return window for my faulty coffee maker is closed?

@albinder help me make sense of this. No one has reached out to me yet.

Adding 1000+ products won’t help if you customer service is this bad :)

The 4th hazardous attitude is: Macho.
"Hold my beer."

A few years back a young pilot bought a cheap, used airplane. He flew, with his girlfriend, a few miles out over the California coast. The engine quit, and he ditched in the sea. Both climbed out on the wing. The plane slowly sank. They had floatation devices and were rescued by the Coast Guard.

All this was filmed by another pilot, in another plane, who was flying along with them at the time and flying circles overhead. The film got posted on Youtube and got lots and lots of views.

The allegation is that this was all planned.

That's a macho attitude. "I can ditch my plane, with my girlfriend. We will both survive, and we'll make a ton of money from the video."

Another pilot recently bailed out of a perfectly good airplane, claiming that the engine had quit, and filmed the plane crashing into the hills below as he parachuted down. He posted the video on Youtube and it got lots and lots of views. He's in jail now.

Yet another _student_ pilot rented one of the training aircraft at his flight school, and photographed himself -- inverted -- at the apex of a aerobatic loop. The aircraft was not rated for this maneuver, and neither was the student pilot. He posted his photo on facebook just to show off to his friends. He is no longer a student pilot, and had to pay many thousands of dollars for the inspection and repairs of the abused aircraft.

All of these macho idiots are lucky to be alive.

The macho attitude in programming can cause a programmer to:

* Come in on Saturday and rewrite someone else's module -- just because they know they could do it better.

* Use a new language, or a new framework, that the team has no experience with -- just because they think it's better and they want to show off.

* Add a new feature to a product that none of the customers or users asked for, because they _know_ it'll be great.

Programmers with the macho attitude will undermine any team, and any project, they are on, and must eventually be removed.

People ignoring or mocking AI haven't watched my live streams and how I use it to help me with my coding work literally every time I work at the keyboard. Both ChatGPT and GitHub Copilot are key tools of my work now.

You may be missing something on AI.

Unless I'm teaching you JavaScript fundamentals, everything I teach will be taught with TypeScript going forward.

TypeScript has won, and it's only a matter of time you're using it whether you like it or not.
