If being proficient at using teams means people can work from where they prefer, it’s my opinion that it’s your duty to do it, so everyone has better choices.

Obviously that isn’t the opinion held here, but that is more indicative of companies trying to reduce headcount because their growth has slowed. Growing companies are meeting people where they are. Broadly speaking of course.

Wait until we tell them that Java and JavaScript are also different languages that are completely different things.

I suspect it’s a bit of both. With agents the review size can be pretty small and easier to digest which leads to more people reviewing, but I suspect it is still more surface level.

I have run across one that allowed arbitrary length when doing account creation and password reset but silently truncated the login input.

Took me hours to figure out that my password was longer than the documented length, try it and then have no problems.

Progressive web apps are your friend. They can install through edge having their own icon and task bar button, but they are just the same web just in a special tab with the aforementioned behaviour.

Are you using Claude web chat or Claude code? Because my experience with it is vastly different eve when using the same underlying model. Clause code isn’t perfect and gets stuff wrong, but it can run the project check the output and realize it’s mistake and fix it in many cases. It doesn’t fix logic flaws, but it can fix hallucinations of library methods that don’t exist.

Not using JavaScript doesn’t ensure an accessible site or app.

I don’t remember progressive web apps having anywhere near the level of fanfare as the other things on this list, and as someone that has built several pwas I feel their usefulness is undervalued.

More apps in the app store should be pwas instead.

Otherwise this list is great and I love it.

What about both? User supplies bad input? HTTP 400 with response body json describing the error in a standard format?

Looks like the link was to the form builder, not the data intake side of a built form. I didn’t make one to verify that side is different though.

Communities moving to ‘chat’ based platforms instead of traditional discussion boards is something I’ve observed a lot in the last few years. Which certainly feel like a step backwards in my view. It keeps happening though, so I must he in the minority opinion on this.

Why is that? I’ve read them referred to as dark matter developers (forget where I read this, maybe a book many years ago). They’re out there, they make up a majority of the field, yet they leave no trace because they do not blog, post on SO, or back in the day forums either as questioners or answerers.

I’m don’t disagree. Good developers use the tools to do better, but its incremental not revolutionary improvements for already competent developers.

I think I could have states my opinion better. I think LLMs total value remains to be seen. They allow totally incompetent developers to occasionally pass as below average developers. Is that good or bad? I don’t know. What an average and excellent developer can do with LLM assistance is less clear. Certainly it can help those developers in some situations.

There are a LOT of superficial devs out there. You dont even have to be interviewing junior devs. Plenty of them out there at medium and senior levels. They existed before LLMs were spitting code like today, and this will undoubtedly lower the bar for bad developers to enter. It remains to be seen if this can help the gold developers in a meaningful way.

Link? I’d like to see. Always amusing to see that kind of thing.

Welcome to the Internet. Pontification is all we’ve got. Now we’ve got LLMs regurgitating the old pontifications to make new ones.

I came in with your same expectations and found the same shit. Just some opinion formed on the basis of “concern”.

Hiding a camera in person would be actively malicious if the other party doesn’t know. Having a zoom recording leaked is less actively.

I generally agree, but with robocopy they went too far with this, because the status code doesn’t work the way you expect, and you’ve got to script around it.

It’s a balance, but too many people don’t even flag it to management because they’re lazy and they write shit and ship it to get it off their own plate.

Now, if management says ship it anyway it’s a balance of you as a developer making sure they understand they’re throwing this technical debt on the credit card and it may (probably) need to be paid off later. If you fail to articulate the interest that’ll be due later then you didn’t do enough or management is bad.

You shouldt work unpaid to fix it, but sometimes you should just do it right even if it takes longer because it’s how it should be done.
