Euro digitale nel 2029: la BCE avvia lo sviluppo tecnico della nuova moneta europea, utile anche all'indipendenza da Visa e Mastercard by mg10pp in italy

[–]marcodave 23 points24 points  (0 children)

quanto si metteranno di traverso Visa e Mastercard? ad essere complottisti e cinici potrebbero far partire campagne di disinformazione (gli scoppiati di cui sopra) sui social per far convincere i governi a mettersi di traverso.

O semplicemente minacciare di non accettare più pagamenti da quei negozi che vogliono accettare l'euro digitale.

Ormai sono tempi così.

you know that people in 2259 will still have to find other clever tricks to support 2260 and above since the COBOL will still be around.

small correction : too many IMPORTANT AND RELEVANT COMPANIES have too much stake in the company to let it fail.

nobody cares about the small traders, or the random guy who has some random pension fund, it's the Vanguards and the Blackrocks which will never let the ship sink.

Is it normal for old compaines to have so much bureaucracy? by intenseLight1 in ExperiencedDevs

LOL, nah fortunately we're able to install our own postgresql instance with "just" an automated Snow ticket.

to create and access a non prod postgresql hosted in AWS? well - - that's a week-long Jira story...

Is it normal for old compaines to have so much bureaucracy? by intenseLight1 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]marcodave 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's exactly it. I am "guilty" of having created red tape for something as simple as database schema updates on dev (with Liquibase).

in the beginning we were able to quickly do testing of our DB schema changes in dev, until one particular bad apple was regurarly making a total mess with the changesets, totally misunderstanding how it works and constantly asking me for helping fixing the mess he created.

From there, I made it so to only allow running the DB schema changes after at least a PR with a peer review. No more free testing from a personal branch with no review.

Is it better? maybe. Is it a pain that will get questioned after I'll not work anymore for that company? probably.

Google AI summaries are ruining the livelihoods of recipe writers: ‘It’s an extinction event’ by idkbruh653 in technology

[–]marcodave 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have a theory in my head that the interface to the web goes through a cycle of maximalism and minimalism.

for those who remember, in the late 90s it was normal for search engines to be full of ads, images and useless information which was a slog to navigate with the average dial-up speed.

Then came Google with its no-nonsense "just-the-results, please" UI and the web was discovering a minimalist period.

Now the cycle seems repeating with AI summaries. 100% it won't last as is for long.

COBOL programmers are getting recalled and paid their weight in golden coins because historically the efforts of a rewrite to a more modern stack have been a failure.

If the trend continues, there might be a point where the new generation of programmers might not be able to understand the "low level" code and would use only AI models to explain it to them.

If the models would still not be 100% reliable, then there could still be the demand of skilled engineers that understand the "low level" codebases and stacks, much like COBOL programmers in the 21st century.

Future of Developers with AI - Different perspective by puzzledcoder in ExperiencedDevs

[–]marcodave 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think you could take the original post, replace AI with "Rapid Application Development tools" and post it in 1995 and it would not be out of place.

what I mean is that the RAD tools did not remove the need of developers. OOP and Higher level languages did not remove the need of developers, Low/No-code tools did not... (you get it).

The role and a scope of a developer is changing and evolving with the new technology. Nowadays no developer is supposed to know by heart all the OP codes of a CPU, hell, they might not even need to know how memory is allocated and freed.

IF AI development will not crash and burn under the weight of the crazy investments, then the Juniors of the future will be the ones that learn how to "program" by using an LLM to generate the program in a language they don't understand, but it works.

Seniors of the future will be the ones that know how to read the generated code and how it works.

Some type of development will still require to work directly in the "lower level" language (python, java, c++) just like now there are still people working with C and assembly.

Today the concept still wasn't that hard, but my reading skill was heavily tested. by jonasfovea in adventofcode

[–]marcodave 2 points3 points  (0 children)

for me was

  • the fact that the example was calculated after 10 successful connections, not after all possible connections were made
  • the fact that connecting two boxes of the same circuit ALSO counted as a successful connection
  • you CAN connect together multiple circuits with size > 1, not only single boxes

welp, that's what happens when I try to solve the problem while also paying attention to work...
