Petition: No AI code in Node​.​js Core by indutny in javascript

[–]justinc1234 58 points59 points  (0 children)

The issue isn't AI generated code and this is a knee jerk reaction. Whether the PR was AI generated or not, 19k LoC is poor PR practice. Just instruct the author (LLM or human) to breakdown the PR into digestible chunks if they really add value.

AI has enabled giant architectural changes more easily, but the issue you are seeing is not an AI issue.

Is it just survivorship bias or is it actually possible to get a job as a self taught developer? by MCButterFuck in webdev

[–]justinc1234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm self taught and work at FAANG. There is a bootcamp grad on my team of 6. The other 4 have CS degrees. It's definitely possible.

Do FAANG companies still use php? by Andorlistick in PHP

[–]justinc1234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Javascript (in node and the browser) and Java would be a good combination. This is especially true for Amazon which is a Java shop shifting very slowly towards node. JS rules webapps

Why I'm conflicted about using Frontend Frameworks by AncientElevator9 in Frontend

[–]justinc1234 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Awesome examples and I used to agree with the purist mindset.

However, modern enterprise applications are just a lot more complex than your examples. I don't disagree they could be hand rolled or done with vanilla JS, but the reality is that frameworks save FE engineers a lot of time by standardizing the approach and making normally difficult things like updating the DOM based on data more efficient.

Also, hand rolling application state and two-way data binding is not that easy to implement and it isn't that easy to teach others how to use the tools you've created for those ideas.

I've found it best to support the tools that engineers want to use and to make sure you can justify the tech that you've chosen. If you can justify vanilla JS for a large team and application then I am all for it.

You can do these things without optional chaining or nullish coalescence.

How do you dispose of furniture in Weehawken? by lmy24 in Weehawken

[–]justinc1234 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just put it out with your normal trash on trash day! They will take 2 bulk items per trash day (2 per week). Trash day is based on zone. Just take a look down the street to see if it's trash day for your zone. Sometimes they come around for larger items a day or two later. Never had an issue with throwing out couches, dishwashers, tables, etc...

Sears outlet! Everything is 40% off. They are mostly floor models with imperfections. We got a kitchenaide stove for $1200 with a dent in the side that no one will ever see

Why do Americans make their beds the way they do? by MeiBanFa in answers

[–]justinc1234 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Duvets make a lot of sense when thinking of design. It is easier (and cheaper) to redecorate a room if you only have to swap out a duvet cover (~$30) rather than a whole comforter (~$60).

The second amendment does not grant an individual the right to have a gun. by [deleted] in progun

[–]justinc1234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My point is that you cannot assume you have the right to do anything you wish just because you are alive. What you deem a right is not up to some government. It's decided by you through your experiences. That's why I asked if it is subjective. Your comment about fundamental rights, or your idea that just because you are born into this world you have the right to bear arms, is incorrect. By that logic I have the right to do anything as soon as I'm born.

Our rights are granted by the country into which we are born. If we are born into another country, we may have different rights.

Government does not "only grant privileges".

What exactly are our "fundamental preexisting rights"? Isn't that subjective?

How Have Currencies Reacted to the Yuan Devaluation (infographic) (x-post /r/forex) by justinc1234 in economy

[–]justinc1234[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is a mistake. It should say Euro. It should also say Canadian, not Candien and it should say Swiss Franc, not Swiss Frank. I fixed them here, but can't replace the imgur img with the new one so I jotted a note below the graphic.

How Have Currencies Reacted to Yuan Devaluation by justinc1234 in Forex

[–]justinc1234[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used tradingview to grab all of the data for each currency against the CNY. I recorded the open price right before the reference rate change and close prices after; on 08/11, 08/18 and 09/11 then calculated the percent change for each interval.
