I tend to think people shit on Musk more than they should, but holy shit does it bug me when a CEO talks about engineering problems with such bravado.

That’s… why we want the labels?

“I could rewrite this in a week!”

~ junior dev, 3 months ago

software developers with access to GitHub’s Copilot chatbot were able to finish a coding task 56 percent faster than those who did it solo

Are these competent developers, or the kind who already take 4 or 5 times longer to do a task than their peers?

breaks tests

leaves me to fix them during approval

I’m sorry, what? If he broke it, he fixes it. There should be guard rails that prevent him from merging his code until all the tests pass, and you as a reviewer should refuse to even start a code review unless the build is green.

Who says you have to drop it? I've got stuff from 2007 in there somewhere.

• Installs antivirus on servers that wrecks application performance
• installs content filtering proxy that prevents developers from reading “hacking materials” like OWASP documentation
• won’t let developers install anything on their own machines without filing a ticket and waiting 6 weeks
• pushes unannounced antivirus updates that pop up OS security dialogs like “Netscan Antivirus would like to monitor all network traffic. Enter your password to approve”, and is surprised when users don’t enter their passwords.

Y’all gonna regret this when Ron DeSantis gets put in charge of deciding which information is false enough to be deleted.

4 years later: "this button is the wrong color. fix it ASAP"

Avatar The Last Airbender has the same amount of lore as Star Trek? How are we measuring this?

You’re supposed to wait until they re-release it on a new console with the same graphics for $70, then pay for it then, dummy.

Pretty cool. It’s great to see so many clients on the market.

One minor feature I wish every iOS client had is better password manager integration. Normally on login forms, the app can provide a hint to the OS of what domain you’re logging in to; then when you click the password box, the password manager can suggest to autocomplete that domain’s password. Currently every time I set up a new app, I have to type programming.dev twice. Once in the “which lemmy instance are you connecting to” box and once in LastPass’s search bar. It’s. A minor inconvenience, but I wonder if clients could pass along the lemmy URL to the password manager after I’ve typed it the first time.
