There's an extra qualifier here, where are there Software Engineers past 40s that started in their 30s. I'd don't see many, if at all, that are basically at entry level and end up doing PM/TPM work (not that it's not important, but not worth degree for!)
I think this is a common fallacy and an incorrect extrapolation, especially made by those who are unfamiliar with what it takes to build software. Software development is hard because the problems it solves are not well defined, and the systems themselves become increasingly complex with each line of code. I have not seen or experienced LLMs making any progress towards these.
Is GDPR undermining innovation in Europe?
To me MDN is the standard bearer for good language/library documentation. It has example uses. A description of what the function/class/object is meant for. Tells you information about how/if you can use it.

Rust's is pretty good too. I also like Pythons. I agree cppreference is very very bad and unreadable.
yeah I guess base models without built-it CoT are not going away, exactly because you might want to tune it yourself. If DSPy (or similar) evolves to allow the same or similar than OpenAI did with o1, that will be quite powerful, but we still need the big foundational models powering it all

on the other hand, if cementing techniques in the models becomes a trend, we might see various models around with each technique for us to pick and choose beyond CoT without need for us to guide the model ourselves, then what's left for us to optimize is the prompts on what we want, and the routing the combination of those in a nice pipeline

still the principle of DSPy stays the same, have a dataset to evaluate, let the machine trial an error prompts, hyperparameters and so on, just switch around different techniques (possibly automating that too), and get measurable, optimizable results
I wouldn't think you'd do it full length to the front, just closer to behind the dash where you could get some extra battery in but still have lots of crumple zone in front of it.

Just a guess. I'd love to see a video giving a deep overview of these the way you see car reviews on YouTube.
If there was a contest, then PHP takes first prize. Whatever they're doing with community-driven examples is a mess and should be removed permanently.

I am an Electrical Engineer who transitioned into Software Engineering at the start of my career. I’m also under 30.

For context, I failed most of my Computer Science papers first go (undiagnosed ADHD) and I absolutely Hated (with a capital H), Software at uni.

Once I graduated though I picked up Python and discovered I actually LOVE programming and computers - the way uni was taught and my immaturity really put me off initially.

I’m successful as a Software Engineer, have sold my own Software, have built an AI app recently, but I have had some knowledge gaps.

I entered Harvards CS50 courses and loved them! You could try that instead of a masters? One can basically finish a full course in 2 weeks (on top of work and life)

I’d highly recommend starting there, rather than the mountain that is a Masters.

But if you are blasting through the courses, then consider a Masters at that point?

I have also been considering a Masters, but you have to ask yourself why?

- For the knowledge gained?

- For the cred?

- For employment opportunities?

I’d say you can get all of that with a typical software career if you also study on your own time outside of work.

But if you absolutely can’t shake the thought of doing a Masters, how about doing it part time so you can still have healthy finances?

Best of luck!

The link he provided above, as well as below and in other comments, are his own benchmarks, not something he searched for.
I wish more was spent on trying to verify the authenticity of the hardware, or contacting HP for comment. The simplest explanation is that a distributor in Brazil sourced counterfeit hardware. Authenticatic hardware shipping with some bespoke and defective firmware seems even less likely than simple counterfeiting.
US Govt will save it. chips are as much needed as oil, steel and other raw materials that any well equipped nation needs, without it your military is toast. So IMO, USA will save Intel.
I have used a portion of that capabilities for live debugging on prod machines to test things out before putting it through source code and using the regular CI/CD for deployment. However, the CD deployment does not rely on hot reloading because it hasn't been necessary.

On Kubernetes, running with regular pods it was not desirable. Maybe if we were deploying with StatefulStates.
Look, I've been experimenting with this for the past year, and this is definitely the happy path.

The unhappy path, which I've also experienced, is that the model outputs something plausible but false but that aligns with an area where my thinking was already confused and sends me down the wrong path.

I've had to calibrate my level of suspicion, and so far using these things more effectively has always been in the direction that more suspicion is better.

There's been a couple times in the last week where I'm working on something complex and I deliberately don't use an LLM since I'm now actively afraid they'll increase my level of confusion.
I’m sick to death of “x isn’t really yours”, “you don’t really own x”. Nerds think that it’s a great pinch of dramatic language to make their point, but I guarantee you that it always comes across is tiring opinionated pedantry. Can we please, please, stop it.
The ECU in your car doesn't benefit much from newer processes, but the chips required for self-driving do.

That's the special thing about leading semiconductors: they enable other technologies.
From the personal computer to IoT and AI, all of these were at some point enabled by advances in semiconductor scaling.

You're only focused on what leading edge nodes provide today, but they enable much more than just speculative AI hyperscaling in the long term.

This is my experience as well. Referential transparency and immutability have many advantages, with few disadvantages (if any). Type checking is great as a way to enforce constraints. However, nominal types create unnecessary incompatibility and endless type shuffling every time you want to make even simple changes. I maintain a web app written in Haskell and there’s 3 or 4 different types for URLs in the codebase, even though there’s no real difference between them. Nominal typing is terrible for code reuse via third-party modules. So many hours wasted wrapping types or shuffling between them.

A functional language with a simple set of structural types would be the sweet spot for me. Clojure is probably the closest to this.
In practice, this implementation (through the Chat UI) is scary bad.

It actively lies about what it is doing.

This is what I am seeing. Proactive, open, deceit.

I can't even begin to think of all the ways this could go wrong, but it gives me a really bad feeling.
Good language documentation requires a collection of skills:

* writing

* super high empathy

* a deep understanding of the language in both substance and form

* persistence and adversity through a challenging effort

Most developers I have worked with the in past struggle in all those bullet points except possibly that last one. Everybody in software likes to think they are awesome, but tell them to write an essay or formal documentation and that confidence is immediately shattered.
I used the wrong term and you used the right one - yes, I mean night terrors. And got it - different things. Thank you.

It really is a simple and easy choice. The whole problem is that A = Linux|CustomOS and B = iOS|Android|CorporateDigitalFiefdom.

Personally, I’ve often found cppreference has a bit of a learning curve to it.

Or, at first it seems overly verbose and hard to parse. As you get more familiarized with C++’s semantics though, it feels very useful for covering a lot of ground quickly.

That said, it feels like something that comes time.
One of the beautiful cosmic injustices about mathematics is that proofs about objects need not be constructive to prove existence.
Good point. In such case I would probably consider leaving the signature as is, even after tightening, and possibly offer a function with stricter signature for new code to use while deprecating the older variant. This would inform the users without rug pulling.

the radio literally has a squelch knob on it, and turning the knob is required if you want to not hear static constantly or if you want to hear your traffic when they call you, so if you somehow manage to own a radio without knowing what squelch is it’s kinda on you.

> and nobody pretended that bombing Washington was clever. Or even particularly justified.

Save for Osama Bin Laden who not only "bombed" the Pentagon in Washington he also took out the twin towers in NYC and tried for other targets.

Further back the Canadians firebombed multiple targets in Washington, including the Whitehouse, in retaliation for similar US actions in Canadian territory.
It’s almost like the people who undervalue people who can communicate well end up reaping what they have sown.
As a tangent to the primary example in the article (rust docs), I'll vent about a pet peeve: If traits are used instead of concrete types, the elegant stream of links the article mentions terminates. Unless there are manual examples (In docs, repo, lib website etc), it's time to insert arbitrary types in, (i8 is nice!) and see what the compiler message shows.

Evangelism around a framework trumps good documentation.

Just today we were talking about how dull and overtly technical AWS documentation, and how Amazon Q is justified in it’s existence just to make the eye-bleeding-like experience of configuring a policy slightly more tolerable.

If you want just-terribly-awful-embarrassing documentation, just try doing anything in the KDE Plasma stack without a search engine. Try building a kirigami app and looking up class definitions. The easiest path is to install the Kirigami Gallery app and click on the examples of what you want, which opens a web browser to the source code of the app. Written in QML resembling the jQuery mega scripts of yesteryear.

Funny, when I tell people that line (usually in response to a request for support with something that the real owner deliberately broke), they usually respond “Huh, I never thought about it like that. Do you have any suggestions?”, and then we have a useful discussion about software freedom and the tradeoffs with convenience and reliability that are necessary these days.

So, no, I will not stop it.
NIFs do have that downside. Rust NIFs mitigates some of those risks, but that doesn't work so well with other languages.

Port drivers have their own tradeoffs, but you can retain the fault isolation.
IMO aging out only really happens when you rest on your laurels and let your skill set lapse. Also happens at younger ages but we just call that being PIP’d. All my dev friends and I are mid 50s and doing fine not being in management.
It doesn't feel like the same energy to me. Image generation was always "ok, maybe we release this for free or cheap now to see how people feel about it but sooner or later we're going to charge $$$" and 3d printing... I don't know, I think those guys are still doing their own thing. The barrier to get in is lower but there's still Luke warm interest to do so.
> I agree cppreference is very very bad and unreadable.

The layout could definitely be better, but at least the information density is high. My take is that any attempt at C++ docs just kinda really does need all of the information that cppreference gives you.

I laughed in despair at their operator==,!=,<,<=,>,>=,<=>(std::unique_ptr) picture but the thing is, C++ is just kinda like that, and I don't think any other way of organizing that information would be clearer.

It doesn't seem like it
You are probably not overestimating.

Generally, I would guess conferring with the client on the facts, briefing, preparing for a hearing, and arguing a hearing would be north of, at least, 25k, assuming a lower-end rate estimate in the $800+ range and a lower-end work estimate of 30+ hours. If I had to bet, I'd go higher than the low-end estimate: both the rate and hours could be close to double. That said, the attorney / firm could be donating the time on this one.
So, basically, it's chain of thought as a service?

Not a model, per se, but a service that chains multiple model requests behind the scene?
I appreciate the author’s angle. Developers are given thousands of dollars in equipment and software licenses. But then language reference pages are insanely convoluted. I don’t know why people put up with it.

The only part I don’t agree with is the author’s assessment of SEO. Search algorithms aren’t handed down by God on stone tablets. Google decides how to rank search results. They can figure out how to give sane results for common programming language queries.

Laws like that exist because selective enforcement of them provides the police an excuse to stop someone.
Are people's historic perspectives really that cartoonishly small-minded?

The early 20th century was a flashpoint where rising powers decided who would become the global superpower.

Agree or not about antisemitism and nationalism, both of those were enormously popular, mainstream things. It wasn't weird or fringe to adopt an national ideology character used by those things. So much of Europe (centered around Germany) acting on those views isn't the cause of their downfall—on the contrary, they were convinced (and these were not dumb people who couldn't see patterns) that such things would strengthen their people and their homes.

So obviously that isn't what "screwed it all up". What screwed it all up was the existence of other rising powers and the timing of it all. Their rise was threatened by a strong Germany. This is all completely mundane, predictable global politics.

The rest, about who was "evil" and "the bad guys" is almost entirely fiction written by the victors—also, coincidentally, completely mundane and predictable.

I just want to keep slamming ^ to keep this permanently at the top of this site. In the course of my day I have the occasion to visit the documentation of many software projects. Some created by mega corporations (AWS), some more humble open source projects (Apache Spark) and uniformly they are all terrible. Most are clearly created with automated tools which seem to have been designed to save the developers time at the expense of anyone actually trying to use what they have created.
Fabrix has the potential to greatly enhance development efficiency by automatically generating UI from GraphQL schemas.
Especially for data-heavy applications, it reduces manual effort and helps speed up the overall project.
It stands out as a practical tool that simplifies complex UI development, which I find very appealing.
Alright, so I did guess the structure correctly.

We aren’t building a ui framework it’s an actor. That’s a very small interface already.

Everything swatcoder suggested in his comment is good. I just want to add/emphasize:

If you don't actively stay up with the tech, your understanding will atrophy. Consequently, because you intend to remain a PM, your tech will never be as strong as someone who is dedicated to it and you need to be okay with that.

Another classic example for this are engineering managers: people management (like project/product management) is its own discipline with a deep set of skills, research, training, etc. To become a good EM means you _will_ sacrifice some of your technical edge. That "deep technical understanding" that good EM's maintain is built on a foundation of years as a practitioner and, even then, requires continual investment.

I don't mean to discourage you, I just want to ensure you have realistic expectations.

Given all that and given your goals, I think you should just ask yourself a question only you can answer: how do you best learn?

If that's in the classroom, then go get that masters (online or in person). If that's with hands on projects, then set aside time for tinkering and get going. Likewise with books, videos, meet-ups, etc. You know what motivates you and what techniques keep you focused (because you'll need that discipline).

Regardless, I wish you luck and enjoy the journey!
