This reminds me of a colleague who was always ranting that our code was not documented well enough. He did not understand that documenting code in easily understandable sentences for everybody would fill whole books and that a normal person would not be able to keep the code path in his mental stack while reading page after page. Then he wanted at least the shortest possible summary of the code, which of course is the code itself.

The guy basically did not want to read the code to understand the logic behind. When I took an hour and literally read the code for him and explained what I was reading including the well placed comments here and there everything was clear.

AI is like this in my opinion. Some guys waste hours to generate code they can’t debug for days because they don’t understand what they read, while it would take maybe two hours to think and a day to implement and test to get the job done.

I don’t like this trend. It’s like the people that can’t read docs or texts anymore. They need some random person making a 43 minute YouTube video to write code they don’t understand. Taking shortcuts in life usually never goes well in the long run. You have to learn and refine your skills each and every day to be and stay competent.

AI is a tool in our toolbox. You can use it to be more productive. And that’s it.

The good thing is: This type of book is read by parents to their 1-3 year old kids. You show the pictures and can filter weird sentences. This is not a book a 9 year old is going to read 😉

This is a very underrated comMINT!

Around 2-3 days after exposure at a wedding. The outbreak happened at work (home office). I could feel how my body temperature started to rise and I started feeling bad. Shortly thereafter I had a burning sensation in my lungs and had my first positive test result 🤢

For 2-3 days I felt bad and extremely weak. Then it got gradually better.

I was fully recovered in 6-8 weeks (felt very weak when running in the morning or when doing heavy work). The next 6 months I had a lot of colds which is not normal for me.

I love Startalk Radio for this. It’s very interesting, funny and they make breaks every couple of minutes with a jingle that triggers me to wake up slightly with enough focus to take my headphones off and then fall asleep

Have you tried turning it off and on again?

Not sure about this but it could be

This! I remember the colors being something like a blue background and the person in a lighter blue or a white background with a blue person. Stars were definitely separate

Oh yes that clear button was also very nice!

How about talking about some major crimes until the police gets involved. In this case your neighbor himself may call the cops and tell them he is listening to your calls…

Is this a scheme to get some VC? They call it automobile but it drives ~25mph. They say it can fly but the weight limit is ~200pounds. Who is going to use this thing? Kids? I wonder if we will ever see one in real life…

This is so true!

Last year I had a project to upgrade the PLC of a machine to the newest generation. As usual the customer was not able to tell me the requirements they had. They told me to look in the old software…

It turns out it was 30+ years old software where you had to program in a cmd line (Siemens S5 if you know PLCs). I had to migrate everything to the next generation (S7) to be at least a little bit productive. Then I thought come on lets try to migrate to the current generation (TIA) to be even more productive.

At the end everything was nearly ready to be compiled and uploaded to the PLC. So I fixed some minor compile time issues, deleted around 50-75% of the old program (old stuff which went obsolete), changed some variable names, refactored some stuff and here we are: The same 30+ year old software is running strong. 24/7 since 6 months without issues 😁
