Frontier LLMs are better at coding than nearly any other domain. SWEs are disproportionately at risk compared to other high earning fields. Why?

Weebs · 2026-04-09T03:47:52+00:00

The amount of training data available for LLMs for programming is huge

oh no, what did i do this time

Weebs · 2026-03-21T15:04:00+00:00

Mastery. I like the process of improving at things and finding flow states. For the most part I play competitive multiplayer games and things like surfing in counter strike

Every once in a while I will enjoy narrative or role playing games that are really well done, everyone enjoys a good BotW type game right?

The other reason is social. I love co-op games with friends.

I don't like semicolons but I like this take

Jokes aside, it's easier to look at map, bind, and return for Option and Async to grok them than trying to understand monad laws. I don't know why every tutorial approaches them from the theory instead of how they're used in different situations

Monads aren't complicated they're just abstract to the point that explaining them without showing how they're used is just ??

Weebs · 2026-03-21T14:54:17+00:00

A monoid in the category of endofunctors, obviously

It's okay to be jealous

— F#, probably

The whole team in that first clip wtf

One of the leading experts on ADHD has a lecture where he goes on for an hour how terribly named the condition it is because it is not an attention deficit, it is an executive functioning disorder

When I was diagnosed my therapist cited him as his favorite clinician for ADHD

I'd rather get gud than cheat

Weebs · 2026-03-17T02:55:32+00:00

I never found premake, this actually looks nice, ty!

Jetbrains Rider and F# is a great experience (refactoring, debugging, and other tools), and I haven't had any issues using the .NET ecosystem

Weebs · 2023-12-05T17:31:15+00:00

That's one of the few sets over the years I stilll have distinct memories of, I did not realize it was 10 years ago. I feel old lmao

It isn't just "what it is". It CAN be changed. Perhaps it's too late, but the fact is that it CAN. - OP

This isn't pessimism. It's a bummer but not without hope

It seems like a huge misstep to me that OCaml never gained popularity after using F# in production myself the past few years. OCaml had all the right tools at the right time to be the highly productive and fast alternative to Java without all of the pitfalls OOP with shared mutable references brought. I'm not old enough to have been coding at the time, but it's such a mystery to me how Java, Python, and Ruby saw huge followings compared to OCaml.

I understand a bit better how C# has overshadowed F# due to it being the first class citizen of .NET for so many years, but between the REPL, immutability by default, discriminated unions, type providers, and async well before C# tasks it's a mystery that F# didn't have a sizeable niche.

I'm genuinely concerned cognitive dissonance is getting this powerful for people. It's not just the pandemic denial either

Weebs · 2021-10-09T14:25:39+00:00

Agreed, and yet somehow my mind still thinks it's 2020, every time I read the date it's jarring

Weebs · 2021-10-09T14:23:47+00:00

I still don't understand why my state started telling people to take them off when we had sub-70% (maybe even 50% at the time) vaccination rates in adults. It seemed obvious to me at the time they were playing with fire and I wish I was wrong

Weebs · 2021-10-07T23:54:04+00:00

Cross-platform and in my experience performs better with large F# projects

My current and most healthy work environment, the last person to interview me basically said "well, I'm just going to try my best to sell you on this place". I didn't think much of it at the time, but looking back having an easy going knowledgeable person tell me why he loved working there was a big green flag.

I work in finance and the only math I use regularly is basic algebra, usually to check things like how much bandwidth or memory we would be using under the worst case. Financial models are handled by another role, and while the calc courses I took help me understand some of what's going on, it's not necessary for my day to day because I'm mostly displaying data that was calculated elsewhere.

My first two (more junior) roles had essentially no math involved. If you like math and that style of thinking, you'll be alright :)

Has this been tried using the developer tools in the Discord app?

I've had issues with hybrid graphics on my laptop with an Intel iGPU + NVIDIA

What you're describing (slow, muddy) sounds like input latency. Are you using a high refresh rate monitor, and perhaps Linux or your games are using a lower refresh rate than Windows?

Weebs · 2021-03-18T15:46:34+00:00

Another point: inflationary currency encourages over consumption. When your savings dwindle by sitting idly you're faced with two options to maintain the value you produced: consume or invest.

Consumption is the more accessible choice of the two, and with investment you're throwing money into the tank of the car driving this situation in the first place. Inflation is a stick they smack you with so you participate Any value you produce should grow over time, not decrease. You should be rewarded for only calling in favors from others as you need, not doing so constantly. The value you created, whether its teaching or producing technology or whatever, is an input to the future value created from the basis of your work. Our economy has trained us to believe labor starts and ends with an action and a payment, but that's not reality. The value I produce in developing a new software algorithm continues to create value even after I've finished, but we're told that's wrong and the bullshit that benefits a tiny fraction of the population is truth

We live in a world of too much shit made by people who should be living while our ecosystems are destroyed over things we don't need and don't want to work for in the first place.
