Interesting new features and improvements on existing features on @StackshiftCloud.

[Ben Dickson @bendee983]

I'm one of those people who constantly rants about the value of learning to code and how hard it was to become a programmer, especially before AI, but also before StackOverflow.

I still believe in the value of doing the grunt work, writing the code by hand to learn, and developing skills through doing (as opposed to observing an AI do it). Coding was never the easy part.

But having reflected on the topic, I've come to understand that the new generation might have it harder than we did back in the day.

Back in our day, software projects moved at the pace of human coding. The only way to build software was to manually write code. This gave you immense opportunity to learn by doing.

Right now, developers don't have that luxury. Everything is moving at the speed of AI. Companies/employers won't wait for you to write a module by hand. They expect you to use AI to write the code and also have the skills to review the code or make sure the AI agent writes it properly.

As a result, they're missing out on all the learning opportunities we had in the era of manual coding.

Today, the only way you can write code by hand is if you're working for yourself and working on a hobby project (not everyone has time for that). For everything else, there is AI.

So how do we move forward? I deeply believe that kids (grade school, high school, college) should be made to learn to code by hand before (or as) they use AI coding tools. Just like you learn to do arithmetic by hand in school.

Before they enter the job market and are exposed to the economic pressures that force them to use AI, kids should learn to write code by hand. That is the only way they can acquire the skills that will make them better agentic engineers.

You have a marketplace software called "test", during onboarding users should not have a user name called "test" and several other names, you might feel it's endless but you can be able to reserve a substantial amount of usernames. Founder names too can be reserved on the platform.

either as db constraint or an application level check

As a software engineer for you to be free it means you’re actively neglecting work or just deciding to give yourself a break because there’s absolutely always something to do.

I am not sending a video on why I think I am the perfect fit for the job. You can go to hell with your vacancy

[Faceless Dev 🎭 @_fusionTech]

Please who’s hiring?

Earlier this year, I got laid off, quite a way to start the year. When I asked why, I was told the company was restructuring.

Since then, I’ve been using my time/resources bootstrapping @StackshiftCloud from the ground up as a solo founder.

I’m open to roles across backend, frontend, mobile and product engineering.

If your team needs someone who can move across web, mobile, backend, and infrastructure, I’m available.

Referrals and reposts would mean a lot.
