People have been using annotations to generate code since I rode my dinosaur to work.

I didn’t RTA, but if they mean ALL code at MS, that just can’t be true. They have legacy stuff going back decades, beyond just their windows platform. There’s no way 30% of all their code is replaced or newly created by AI.

15+ years ago you could search for an error code, or an error message, or a part number and actually find it.

Didn’t think Lemmy had such a concept.

Oh I thought it was a typo. I have no idea what coursehero is.

I will say coursera is awesome for their calculus classes. (Or they were like 10+ years ago anyway.) Which caught me up after a long hiatus from college when I returned to finish.

Somewhat OT but why do you block coursera?

You wouldn’t want mono space in languages where indentation matters?

And then maybe you could use something like #define in C to map them back to valid characters? Not sure if there’s a good way to do that in other higher level languages.

To me, a full stack developer is a few years short of architect. If you understand the full stack and all components and how they interact, then I want you on my team.

But I guess that term gets abused and thrown around a lot.

That’s interesting. I assume there is still some review and approval process this has to go through? So it basically means you are on call constantly for unscheduled deployments?

How will they make users do it?

Today for example our dev ops is in charge of deploying a new release of our service on our servers. We wouldn’t give customers that type of access.

Devops for sure. (“Why have IT people when we can just make developers do it?” Fucking brilliant ☹️)

But why full stack? If you can develop a feature in a vertical slice across all layers that’s the kind of person you want to have on your team.

Debian was interesting with their back port / forward port repos for drivers on newer hardware. I had to grab a wifi driver and put it on a USB stick, then figure out the dir to put it in so I didn’t have to manually modprobe or whatever to manually load the driver.

20 years ago on fedora I had to manually mod probe like three different drivers to get my PCMCIA Broadcom wifi card to work. I’m sure fedora is better by now, but damn I still have bad memories about that.

Also I imagine GTA doesn’t model the planet, the solar system, the galaxy or the known universe, as this would put you well outside of the known universe.

Usually enabling Ubuntu’s third party / proprietary repo covers all necessary drivers.

I remember having lots of driver issues on fedora but that was like two decades ago. I’d imagine they have that sorted now.

Anyway this is good news. Grow the user base.

Zoom was already everywhere in the business world before the pandemic.

Seems like Skype was only for personal users who were not very techy and wanted to make free calls overseas.

Didn’t RTA. What distro?

How are people forced to use it. I’ve never used it.

I don’t think good and bad are concepts he is capable of understanding, like empathy.

Good thing they can blame bots for this shit.

Throws up hands “It was the bots, nothing bad we did.” Just like when AI fucks things up and companies won’t take responsibility. Because we didn’t do anything bad 🤷
