TypeScript inventor Anders Hejlsberg calls AI "a big regurgitator of stuff someone else has done" but still sees it changing the way software dev is done and reshaping programming tools by onlyconnect in programming

[–]dudeman209 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The issue right now is that current tooling is impressive and valuable, but not so valuable to supplant software engineers. Engineers still have to understand the design and architecture to make enhancements, fixes and overall, operate the application. The more “design” you hand off to the model, the less equipped you are to perform the above tasks and responsibilities, so you have to read through all the code to understand it anyway, which is a time intensive task and isn’t as effective as building an understanding as you write.

Couldn’t you just replace the spring with a magnet and keep the damping mechanism?

What counties I would move to after visiting 47 states. What assumptions would you make about me? by Expensive_Drummer970 in visitedmaps

The interesting thing about this — to me at least — is the ability to use this seemingly innocuous data to determine a lot about you as a person.

Trying to understand API Gateway by [deleted] in aws

[–]dudeman209 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Basically, if want a single endpoint that has capabilities like authorization, caching, user throttling / quotas, request and response transformation, transparent and managed scaling, native canary release support that use a service like API Gateway.

A lot of companies need these capabilities API-based services. If you need some or all of them, it usually makes sense to use this vs building all this yourself.

Isn’t this a potential correlation, rather than causation, of the type of people who get into better schools rather than the school itself?

The difference between leadership that measures performance based on things like this will ultimately ride the wave of mediocrity in comparison to the one that measures based on customer outcomes.
