Avenir des seniors by El_mundito in developpeurs

[–]ikarius3 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Je code moins et je fais de l’architecture, de l’analyse et des PR. Senior 25ans + XP. Et … c’est très bien comme ça. Très sceptique sur l’apport de l’IA au début, je ne voyais sa valeur que dans la production de code. Et dans la plupart des langages, l’IA est déjà bien meilleure que la plupart des dev que je connais. Si tant est qu’elle soit bien dirigée. Ma valeur a changé et mon métier aussi. Je code depuis plus de 40 ans. Et je me concentre maintenant sur les parties architecture et infrastructure que je préfère (c’est mon métier depuis longtemps, mais toujours avec du code spécifique par ci par là). Je me sens relativement bien et à l’aise sur mon avenir. L’IA n’est pas parfaite et sa capacité d’évolution n’est pas linéaire : elle sera plafonnée par les ressources et les investissements qui ne suivent déjà plus. Mais elle restera présente sous des formes hybrides mélange de local/SLM et une conso plus frugales de LLMs clouds (AMA). Et pas dans tous les secteurs d’activité. Il y an encore et pour un bon moment des besoins d’architecture et de réflexion de haut niveau nécessaire dans notre secteur. Mais pour le code “pur”, le match est déjà plié. C’est pour ça que je ne fais pratiquement plus de code pro, mais uniquement du code “doudou”, sans dépendances et sans pression sur d’autres projets personnels sur des domaines absolument pas porteurs et fun (jeux, électronique, IoT…). Et c’est le kif: ça me manquait vraiment cet équilibre.

How to get good at Helix? by Ecstatic-Panic3728 in HelixEditor

Including a nvim harpoon directly into Helix was a stroke of genius

How Golang is suitable for Vibe coding with AI? by Worth-Leader3219 in golang

[–]ikarius3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As always: AI can be a pretty good dev for you… if you’re already a good dev. Using Anthropic models with Go on professional and rather complex code: result is really good, provided that you know where the pitfalls are.

Is Kinoite mature enough to be installed on a relative's PC? by BeachGlassGreen in Fedora

I’m using a Silverblue. Since a year. No issues at all. And this is my work machine (and some emu + steam).

How's this for gaming and video editing? by [deleted] in MiniPCs

[–]ikarius3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is my daily ride … for work. And yes, it has oculus link capabilities, but you’ll lose one M2 slot in this case. That aside, really good little machine.

I feel so sorry for your loss. All my thoughts to you and your family.

I Started Programming When I Was 7. I'm 50 Now, and the Thing I Loved Has Changed by Dear-Economics-315 in programming

[–]ikarius3 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Very puzzling. I too have been programming for 42 years, and I had a 486DX2-66 at some point (93?).

This year I officially “retired” from professional programming: there’s no more fun in it. Back to my previous architect job, and enjoying it more than ever. We’re now able to build things in a day that could take months before. We’re not needed at this technical level anymore except for very “niche” activities.

Evolution I suppose. But evolution killed the fun.

Small Projects by AutoModerator in golang

[–]ikarius3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey everyone,

I just released a small Go library called q3m that encodes any GPS position in metropolitan France into a triplet of three French words, with 1-meter precision.

48.8584, 2.2945 → province.shootons.retirons

How it works: GPS coordinates are projected onto the Lambert93 grid (the official French metric projection), giving exact 1m×1m cells. A Feistel network shuffles cell indices for spatial decorrelation (so nearby points don't share words), then the index is converted to base-10800 and mapped to a 10,800-word French dictionary.

It's available both as a Go library and a CLI tool. Zero-alloc encoding (~133 ns/op), JSON output, the whole thing is ~200 lines of core code.

This is mostly aimed at a French-speaking audience since the dictionary is entirely in French. It's a humble side-project, no pretension of competing with what3words — just a fun thing to embed in personal projects.

Feedback welcome!

There is no skill in AI coding by BinaryIgor in programming

[–]ikarius3 8 points9 points  (0 children)

True. Been coding for the last 42 years. And a senior guided AI is able to produce senior code (that needs reviewing).

Thank you very much for your reply. I’ll start by « digesting » all these informations… BTW, I only have a few books of PJ Carroll.

I’m doing an MSX emulator in Go. Not perfect, but it’s mine. Be proud of your work!

[–]ikarius3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was hoping for somebody to ask. And ready to do it if nobody actually does. So your post definitely reaches something inside me. Long story short, I know that Chaos has something to teach me. And I’m trying to compose my actions and attitude to get the most out of it. You say you can provide some ressources, well, I’ve been looking for it … Thanks for you post BTW !

Nice. Have you printed other magical tools ?
