@Gwazavictoria It can't work. They definitely use their server time to keep track of that. It would be a rookie mistake if they actually trusted your local time

[Michael Taiwo @AskMichaelTaiwo]

A new employee should not spend the first week collecting passwords, begging for files and learning the job from old WhatsApp messages.

Before they arrive, decide what they need to read, which tools they need, who answers which questions and what a good first month looks like.

Then give them one small piece of real work early. Not a fake exercise. Something useful enough to reveal how the team actually communicates and makes decisions.

Onboarding is not showing somebody where the restroom is and adding them to six group chats. It is reducing the time between “welcome” and useful, confident work.

@coder_blvck You’re correct. Some plans are simply too long to read. To make them easier to understand and to quickly identify flaws, I discuss them with AI using voice mode.
It makes understanding the plan and spotting gaps much easier.

Madame Celeste Amarilla,
Vous êtes une femme méprisable et indigne de sa fonction.
Vous ne représentez pas le Paraguay, ce pays qui a transpiré la passion et l’honneur tout au long de la compétition. Par votre inconscience et votre racisme décomplexé, le monde entier a déjà oublié le parcours et l’effort historique que vos joueurs ont réalisés durant cette coupe du monde pour laisser place à une dame incompétente donnant la pire image possible de son pays.
Je ne laisserai jamais aux gens comme elle, la liberté de laisser propager leur haine et leur racisme à travers le monde.

Hot take:

vibe coding only works well if you already know how to code.

@coder_blvck @pullbase I was talking to one of my friends on how frustrating it is to swap agents mid task. Definitely going to try it out.

@kelindi or who were looking for video games bugs to exploit.

[jbotrex @jbotrex]

@perborgen Wow scrimba. Very solid product, I learnt react here, you could literally edit the video that you are watching and then run the code, very sleek product. I doubt that I have seen a platform like this.

Lemme tell you something about tech for software engineers. This field is one that SWE (Software engineers) really love and enjoy doing on a day to day. It doesn't seem like work to us, it is recreation. It's like playing with your favourite toy everyday.

It's just... It's just that when people pay us money to play or ask us to play for their benefit, it feels less like play because now they tell us when to play how long to play. They even tell us that we can't play too hard because they have other things to focus on. When we play according to these rules for too long, we get burnt out.

That's when we start talking about owning a farm in Birnin-kebbi, Damaturu or Gusau (I'm sure these places aren't real places and the government lies to us so they can eat the money that goes there). But really we don't want the farm. In fact, if someone were to provide such a farm for us, we'd just find a way to automate the farm and play with what we know. Growing crops wouldn't be fun.

Building with code is addictive. I can't possibly explain it to you. This is why despite the health warnings of staying in one place, we'll rather bend the rules around and get a standing table. For some of us, we take break from work by writing more code.

It is this love that makes us very awesome engineers. This is why we argue on the tiniest thing. On how your pages can be 1 millisecond faster. It's just too much fun.

Alas for some of us in less privileged countries, the love for this play is at war with the need to feed our families. And because few people get to play in their own time for a living, we have to play for other people according to their own rules. But we get paid a whoooooooole lot for it.

But it isn't really much. Because the addiction comes at a cost. The money we get paid sinks into other things that helps us stay sane in such addictions. Plus in most cases, only smart people can play this game. We have had to spend years building our cognitive skills for it. This is why we will shun terrible pay.

Despite loving to play, we can't do it according to your rules and be paid a lower compensation. The best of us will reject it politely. The worst of us will stay and slowly destroy your product.

You might fear us, but you should love us. We really just want to play and be treated right while playing.

We are folks like you: your brothers, sisters, husbands, wives, partners, significant others, friends, enemies, and fellow humans on this ever-warming earth

Just let us play in happiness...

Coinbase’s CEO lays off a ton of employees and says:

“Non-technical teams are now pushing code to production with AI”

less than 24 hours later:

coinbase’s trading engine goes down and somehow even the status page breaks too

@Samaytwt It's still alive and kicking.

@smartnakamoura signature verification is a basic thing any developer will implement when you are making a webhook . Unless there is more to the story
