Code is cheap, Software is not 🤔

Anyone can write code. Building software that's maintainable, observable, secure, and actually solves a problem? That's the hard part.

This is why fundamentals matter more than ever.

Isn’t it amazing that fundamental Unix tools like ls, head, tail, grep, xargs and others were written in C like 40 years ago and they still run the world without bugs

I don't see a reason for discussion here. Every OS has its own purpose, its pros and cons.

[trish @TrisH0x2A]

what's the best operating system for programming?

- windows
- mac
- linux

for me, it's linux.

Never be happy if someone loses their job, especially if you don't know them personally.

@damengchen While googling stuff, there's always a chance to learn something new, even if it is unrelated to the original problem - and gain new expertise

The only tool we have now is manual review. AI is taking the fun part out of SWE.

[Rod Johnson @springrod]

Vibe coding is a security and governance disaster in the making. Lets hope we have the tools to manage it.

@antonarhipov @AmsterdamJug I was here, Gandalf. I was here 3000 years ago...

[Maxim Thomas @thomas_max]

@antonarhipov I agree. I've seen good OSS projects without any documentation

[Maxim Thomas @thomas_max]

@antonarhipov There are many OSS projects distributed as Docker images. You can run just run them with a single command. Otherwise, you can check CI/CD

[Adam Tornhill @AdamTornhill]

Time to get serious with this AI thing.

[Maxim Thomas @thomas_max]

@vlad_mihalcea Agree. It is also good to figure out when to stop if a new thing is just not yours

[Maxim Thomas @thomas_max]

Only to protect it from rain. We need to learn just be with our thoughts and enjoy the moment

As a software engineer, I've never wanted to switch from tech to farming or something when something does not work. Sooner or later, all problems will be solved, but the joy from the work done stays much longer
