bruh every f*cking engineer has been vibe coding with AI for the past year but these job interviews still make you hand code with zero AI assistance wtf

[Arpit Bhayani @arpit_bhayani]

The industry has gone completely nuts.

Use tokens to generate AI code and documentation slop. Then use even more tokens to understand and review that slop.

Then judge engineers by token usage instead of how empathetic and clear their docs and code actually are, and completely neglect human comprehension.

Utter nonsense.

One of the worst things you can do for your career is to become indispensable. That’s how you become the maintenance person.

In defense of Indian 🇮🇳 democracy!

During Prime Minister Narendra Modi most successful visit to Norway a minor incident happened. A Norwegian journalist demanded that the prime minister starts holding press conferences. She claimed that Indian democracy is in bad shape.

May be its time to pause? May be its time to be a bit curious to the world’s largest democracy?

Two weeks ago five Indian states and territories held elections. The turn out in the battlefield state of West Bengal was 94%. In the last local election in Norway it was 62%, in many European local elections turn out is below 50%. Can voting in massive numbers be a signal Indians trust their democratic process?

In the same election BJP won big in Assam and West Bengal. It lost even bigger in Kerala and Tamil Nadu. Can this diversity be a signal that Indian democracy is reflecting the will of the people?

The journalist referred to a democracy ranking putting India at 157 in the world, behind many dictatorships and deeply troubled states. When a ranking is so obviously contrary to common sense, why not ask critical questions to those making the ranking rather than demand that leaders shall comment on nonsense? I recommend Salvatore Babones book “Dharma democracy”. The book debunks convincingly the flawed methodology of these rankings.

It was referred to a ranking claiming it’s very dangerous to be a journalist in India. Reality is that it is more dangerous to be journalist in the US and far more dangerous in the vast majority of other nations in the world.

Let’s be real. India is not perfect. Of course there are incidents. India has a population the size of North America, South America and Europe combined. But India is much more peaceful than Europe or the Americas. That’s remarkable - given the ethnic, language and religious diversity of India and the many development challenges.

Unless we consider democracy a form of government only suited for some very small, peaceful and homogeneous Western European nations, may be we should commend Indian democracy?

India is the only major former UK colony which became and has remained a democracy. Its sometimes claimed that the Brits taught India democracy. If that was the case why isn’t Myanmar or Pakistan or the Gulf kingdoms democracies??? Reality is that Indian democracy is both homegrown and extraordinary successful.

मेरे मित्र, स्वीडन में एक बार फिर आपका हार्दिक स्वागत है। दो लोकतंत्र, एक मज़बूत संबंध।

My friend, a very warm welcome to Sweden once again.
Two democracies, one strong partnership.

[Narendra Modi @narendramodi]

Jag är tacksam för statsminister Kristerssons fina gest att ta emot mig på Göteborgs flygplats. Ser fram emot att stärka vänskapen mellan Indien och Sverige under detta viktiga besök.

is this what dario sees when he keeps saying SWE will be automated

[Neha Sharma @hellonehha]

@anurag__kochar If he/she made this using code and not image then he/she is way ahead of the rest. Literally, there are devs , websites, games, challenges to build things only in html/css or in just 1 div. A good way to practice programming skills and challenge creativity.

[Even Stensberg @evenstensberg]

Just upgraded from angular 12 to 21, all tests passed and builds on first try. Daym! Angular is still a good framework!

[Namita Malik @nm_1304]

@hellonehha Are there any tech books that you recommend?

[Namita Malik @nm_1304]

@hellonehha @Narayani07 Of course, it can't be, but some people enjoy it when the stakes are high. They are not anxious and just like the rush.
For example, I am horribly anxious about sitting in a roller coaster, but my husband loves it!
So whoever is enjoying anxiety is not really anxious, IMPO 😀

[Namita Malik @nm_1304]

@hellonehha @Narayani07 I second what you are saying, Neha. It’s not a fun feeling at all. I guess one's dopamine could be another's cortisol.

Apparently, this is one of the earliest known photographs of the sacred Kedarnath Dham, taken in 1882.

Couldn’t take my eyes off it.

No roads. No railheads. No helicopters.

Just the abode of Lord Shiva, cradled by the Himalayas

Back then, the yatra demanded time, endurance, & faith. The journey wasn’t incidental; it WAS the pilgrimage.

Today, access is easier. And that’s a good thing because it opens the experience to many more.

But perhaps something still needs preserving?

The ability to slow down & savour the experience of traveling.

Because journeys are about who we become along the way.

It’s not over for CS grads. They are the most advantageous spot. They have fresh prespective, they have time to pivot and learn new tech, they don’t have debt of - no, in our time we used to do it like X way as compared to experience people.

In India, AI companies are giving generous discount to students- they can leverage it and do amazing things.

“Sir, another 22 year old has found a job”

[Victor Savkin @victorsavkin]

Claude: You're right to call that out. I stated it confidently, but I don't actually have a source for it. You'd want to check the documentation or try it yourself to confirm.

First Claude lied, then when called out, told me to do the work myself. Why am I the one paying here?
