Programming@programming.dev•How good engineers write bad code at big companiesEnglish
2·14 days agoThe author provided no evidence of it
They’re contextualizing and sourcing it plenty. It’s their impression from their experience, from their years of being in that field. In the later adding of comments at the end they go into different takes as well, reiterating that it’s what they saw or see in [their] big corp[s] [and those he talks to].
You’re saying people are rotating too often - which was one of their points. Not sure if you meant support that point or point it out [assuming they didn’t].

3·16 days agoMicrosoft actually cut off Israel’s access to Azure…
After months of pressure and trying to silence internal criticism.
I had to look it up to make sure “months of” is correct. Wikipedia has the infos https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_Microsoft#Israeli_military_support 2023-2025, various employees fired
“Microsoft actually cut off Israel’s access to Azure” doesn’t really cover or adequately represent their behavior regarding this topic.

2·18 days ago… Gitlab though; the only difference is you see more “a large premium customer is requesting this” comments!
I love those! /s 😄 It can certainly feel like a pattern, specifically for some tickets.

2·21 days agoYouTube recently introduced UI changes. Google probably didn’t optimize for Firefox besides Chrome. Whatever they’re doing, it may be more performance on Chrome than on Firefox for technical reasons.

1·21 days agoAs a quality metric, “bad company”. If you can differentiate between hardware product and drivers, you can separate those metrics. But usually, and for most people, using the product also means using their drivers.

1·21 days agoYou can just take the L and say you didn’t see that the function definition that was “added” was just “removed” at the top.
That’s not what happened though.
Changing the indent of the def changes the definition. That’s my whole argument.
I don’t get why you say “of course”, agreeing with my point, but then “it was only the indentation that was changed”.

6·21 days agoas an open-source alternative to Grammarly
intentionally avoids including any kind of generative AI in any part of our processing pipeline
Isn’t that what Grammarly is all about, though? Be better than traditional spellchecking through LLM?
I assume Harper is entirely Rules based, then? Which inherently means limited to what rules where introduced manually and what the rules cover.

1·22 days agoI see, thank you for the clarification. I was quite confused because it seemed to be missing, this one didn’t quite seem correct. If they never even pushed it as a MR then that makes more sense. Then the whole “hasn’t been merged yet” is missing that it hasn’t even been created.

1·22 days agoAn indentation change is a definition code change. And as I pointed out, it’s a py file, and Python is an indent-significant language.

















I worked on and created a lot of things, but when thinking ‘cool’, the fractal rendering I did a long time ago popped into my mind as well. It just looks cool, interesting, has variance and experimentation, and is very visual.
