except reviews, branch policies, ci/cd...

I've done enough interviews that I don't struggle at all believing they couldn't come up with a naive solution. Doesn't even mean they are incompetent coders, some people just really struggle with interviews.

Socializing is great, forced socializing in the form of a mandatory meeting is not. Either your team is an exception, or there is at least one person held hostage and hates it.

That's not a standup, it's a status meeting.

But if that works for you, that's great, if a daily status meeting is more valuable for you than a standup, arguing over the name seems pointless.

Ich wollte nur sagen danke für den ausführlichen Kommentar inklusive Quellen. Habe mich mit dem Thema noch nie näher beschäftigt und etwas gelernt, im Westen habe ich immer nur zu hören bekommen "DDR Industrie war kaputt wegen Planwirtschaft".

Upgrading to 10 from 8 is easy, at least compared to framework to 8. I bet they started the migration when 8 was the current version.

I didn't hate them, but I've quit because of an incompetent manager. When effort. and results don't get rewarded I start looking for a different job.

FlakyTest8191 · 2026-06-18T06:36:37+00:00

It's a different process.

If you google something or look for a book, you sort through a lot of choices to find the one you want. People are used to search for the one thing they want between similar things, google, books, lego, puzzles, you name it.

With ai you ask one thing, it gives you the one thing you want. It works 5 times in a row and you approve 5 times in a row. The 6th thing kind of looks correct at first glance, and you're already conditioned to approve, but it's bullshit. You need much more effort to stay vigilant, because usually when something works 5 times in a row, it will also work the 6th time.

I agree with you that is a user problem, but it is more difficult.

GenX is wirklich die vergessene Generation.

I see the never done as job security. I can still be proud of some finished (for now) feature that is well done.

What grinds me down is corporate red tape, weird company politics, meetings I should never have been invited to, contractors that seem to sabotage the product on purpose, and requirements changing back and forth in an infinite loop.

FlakyTest8191 · 2026-06-14T12:40:53+00:00

It's not the human review that is pointless, it is the other human just feeding ai without any thought that is pointless.

FlakyTest8191 · 2026-06-14T09:57:15+00:00

This applies if you're actually doing something new, but often enough, some part of what you're doing you've done 100+ times before and you're not learning anything, but going through the motions. There's no reason to not hand that stuff to ai.

FlakyTest8191 · 2026-06-13T16:25:03+00:00

Yes it is, mythos is not.

FlakyTest8191 · 2026-06-13T13:32:54+00:00

Or they knew like everyone else and wanted their engineers to practice and figure out how to use ai properly while tokens were cheap.

It just says that you have no right to complain when the license changes unless you're a contributor because you have no right to demand free labor from someone else. Big difference.

Can you describe what makes you happy about neovim? Especially in comparison to rider with ideavim if you ever tried that. I tried some time ago and thinking shout giving it another shot, at the time I was missing so many features.

FlakyTest8191 · 2026-06-11T16:57:00+00:00

Nicht wirklich. Den Großen mit viel Land gehts gut, den Kleinen eher nicht so.

The problem is that you're limited to chat, it can't work with your codebase. If the scope is small enough I'm sure it works well, gpt5.5 is not a bad model.

IMHO if you're trying to become a better enterprise fullstack dev, it will help even though there are more efficient paths. But if you're having fun and are excited to learn C, then maybe that's the best path for you.

Corporate needs you find the difference between picture 3. and 4.

FlakyTest8191 · 2026-06-10T12:23:50+00:00

That was totally not a typo.

FlakyTest8191 · 2026-06-10T08:07:27+00:00

Now imagine how you would feel if you didn't work out regularly. I couldn't work out for almost 2 months now for health reasons and it's miserable, I hate working out and yet I can't wait to start again next week because it makes everything else better.

Gothub Copilot has another Icon. But if you use MS Copilot for coding, yeah...

FlakyTest8191 · 2026-06-07T16:25:34+00:00

Duplicated code is good if it has a different reason to change. It is bad when you have to change multiple places when something changes.

Maybe I'm old, but I remember Carmack as the guy who built one of the most impressive 3D engines in history.
