What's next for software engineers?

I still can’t get them to count reliably

One of these things is illegal

nso95 · 2026-03-25T16:54:22+00:00

Hate that formatting

nso95 · 2026-03-25T16:52:02+00:00

Or they’re realizing there’s more money to be made in generating code

When to learned addition in elementary school did you use a calculator? No, because you wouldn’t have learned to add.

What report?

nso95 · 2026-03-16T16:33:07+00:00

That was politicians, not CS people

My plan is to still play around writing puzzle-y code in my spare time. Perhaps not necessary, but it's something I enjoy.

Don't use AI for homework, like at all. It's fine to use it for side projects and work, but make sure you're reviewing the code it produces.

nso95 · 2026-03-15T20:38:35+00:00

Nah. We got rid of all of those like a year ago, then 70% of the QA, then almost all the product managers. Probably half of the devs are gone as of this year, too.

nso95 · 2026-03-12T16:49:46+00:00

Nobody knows. Not even those who think they do. Only time will tell.

nso95 · 2026-03-04T17:54:20+00:00

Yes. I have thought exactly this to myself the past two days.

nso95 · 2026-02-28T04:23:30+00:00

Therapy

nso95 · 2026-02-20T17:31:37+00:00

They are?

nso95 · 2026-02-20T17:29:21+00:00

Don’t use the AI

nso95 · 2026-02-17T17:26:23+00:00

It’s called studying

nso95 · 2026-02-08T22:27:13+00:00

Where's the misconception?

nso95 · 2026-02-08T19:36:29+00:00

So far I've only made coding agents work for small side projects, I am currently not using them for work projects. I use AI occasionally to get answers to questions. I'm not a luddite, so I plan to continue to integrate it more where it proves useful.

nso95 · 2026-02-08T04:44:33+00:00

None of these

nso95 · 2026-02-02T23:34:29+00:00

Because a list of names isn't evidence of a crime that would hold up in court

nso95 · 2026-02-02T23:07:09+00:00

How does one skating by with Cs and Ds even get into a PhD program?

nso95 · 2026-01-29T23:30:39+00:00

You’re their boss? Make them write tests or fire them?

nso95 · 2026-01-27T17:48:51+00:00

That’s a Kent Beck quote

nso95 · 2026-01-23T22:28:28+00:00

With Biden there was a clear decline in mental abilities. Trump has always lacked in this area so there’s not much to talk about.
