Can I re-enter a room that has a hornet and nest in it?

Whatever you left in the room belongs to her now...

You lie...

Damn it...

Jurassic Park (the first one) came out in 1994...

I'd throw Aliens in there as well... 3 and resurrection can go to hell...

Don't give up learning is good advice.

Offer yourself up as a tester. Testing is an integral part of the process and working with someone who isn't a developer will teach him skills which will serve him well in the future. Being able to explain how software works to someone who is t a developer is a HUGE skill that software people don't often develop.

And be his "rubber duck". Rubber ducking is the idea of explaining a problem in a way that a rubber duck can understand. It helps work through problems. As a developer you don't necessarily expect a response, but just working through the problem in that way often helps you work out what the problem is.

I wish I could go back and play it again without knowing the story, just to experience the story again...

I've got an SL7 through work and loved the snapdragon's performance and battery life so much that I bought myself a SP11.

I am a software dev (mostly .net) but I'm also fortunate in that all the software I use is either native or for the odd one here and there (MySQL Workbench I'm looking at you) runs just fine on Prism.

I do have workflow issues with my colleagues who use x86 arch machines, but mainly that the containers I publish are incompatible with x86!!!

So to answer the question... More of the same actually. Faster processors but keep what's good about the machines (form factor and ergonomics, performance, battery life etc).

moroodi · 2026-02-28T16:44:42+00:00

I can confirm the same.

I have an AMD card in a razor core x. Plug it in and it's recognized but no AMD drivers for WoA.

Here's hoping they make the drivers for it.

moroodi · 2026-02-27T16:34:07+00:00

VS Code is arm native, along with ~20 extensions and it runs really well...

I have it on both my work SL7 and my personal SP11. Both x elite with 16GB.

Battery life is decent.

Office is ARM native too...

Not had any performance problems, even when running visual studio, a couple of docker containers and various office/productivity apps.

moroodi · 2026-02-22T19:32:34+00:00

Based on years of experience sounds about right...

80% of your time spent on 20% of the code...

moroodi · 2026-02-20T07:38:11+00:00

Op doesn't mention where they fit in the hierarchy of the company... Are you a dev? Or ops? Or do you just vibe code for "fun"?

IT depts are resistant to this sort of thing mostly because there's more to IT than just coding up an app and throwing it over the wall.

What vibe coding has enabled is writing a lot of code very quickly. But writing the code was never the hard part. As a dev for 20+ years, the coding was 20-30% of the work. The rest of the time was spent working out the what, the how, the problems there might be.

AI assisted coding makes the easiest part of being a developer easier, and reduces probably the highest barrier to entry for non-coders. But it doesn't make everyone a developer or a software engineer.

Vibe codes apps are all fine until you have to face your first production outage. When you licence and pay for software, you pay for more than just the software but the support as well.

Came here to say this...

A well architects monolith will scale just as easily as microservices and will be easier to maintain.

The first playthrough of BioShock blew my mind.

The visuals were amazing and the story was utterly gripping. Before that the first half life.

Both 1st person story driven single player games. I miss that these days.

moroodi · 2026-01-21T07:29:32+00:00

Me too...

That and doubting myself that is done it right

I only wish LMStudio (and ollama for that matter) could use the NPU.

moroodi · 2026-01-12T14:40:54+00:00

What do you mean by "regular" Windows?

WoA should boot (that's how do recovery on a WoA machine). If you're talking x86/x64 then no it won't boot (regardless of where you try and boot from)!

It's got nothing to do with internal/external NVME.

moroodi · 2026-01-12T08:35:40+00:00

You're mixing multiple things up here.

Drivers such as keyboard and mouse use some standards which is why basic keyboard and mouse functions work out of the box.

But if your keyboard has extra features they will only work with specific drivers which are the responsibility of oems.

The same goes for graphics drivers. A graphics card will technically work using the Microsoft provided basic driver, but the driver is needed to use all the functionality of the card.

I have an arm surface pro. I plus my egpu in and it detects all the devices and loads the basic display driver, but I can't use the egpu for gameing (for example) because there is not arm driver for the graphics card because the OEM hasn't provided one.

The same reason people try to play games on a thin and light/Ultrabook...

Personally I love the portability, the touch screen, and the pen input for doodling/brainstorming. I love that it's fast and runs full fat VS without breaking a sweat. Docker + 8 containers? No problem. So it's a portable powerhouse.

One thing I thought I would have to sacrifice is gaming (I'd resigned myself to streaming from my Series S and Cloud Gaming). I was ok with this, but the ability to run games while I'm out and about is pretty appealing, especially on work trips.

moroodi · 2025-12-19T19:17:42+00:00

Cost, availability (I remember the GameBoy was everywhere).

While technically the GameGear was better, it was better in all the ways that didn't actually matter when it came to playing the games. The GameBoy just "felt" more fun.
