@arstechnica I remember "Project Ara". I hope it doesn't end the same way.

    @nixCraft I first used it years ago with a Knoppix live CD and it was very cool. Later, Nova Launcher on Android offered the same experience.

    A COBOL programmer, tired of the bug chaos in the legacy codebase, decides to have themselves cryogenically frozen to skip the whole mess. Years later, they're thawed out.

    "Did I sleep through?" they ask.

    "It's the year 9999," the scientists replied, "And we need you to fix some legacy code from 2000, which is still in production ."

    @nixCraft The programmer in question started working.

    Why is nobody working on replacing upper management with AI? Let’s start from the top. Oh wait

    Programming languages are tools. Just like a hammer doesn't automatically make you a great carpenter, simply knowing Rust or C++ or Go or any other lang won't instantly make you a better developer. I am just saying

    @nixCraft Yes, talent and desire are two prerequisites you need to provide before that.

    Modern software development be like: I wrote 10 lines of code to call an API that calls another API, which calls yet another API that finally turns on a lightbulb. Pray that Cloudflare or AWS will not be down during this operation; otherwise, there will be no light for you.

    @nixCraft There are now many AI options that work locally. And they are becoming more and more skilled. The playing field is expanding. But GIGO is always valid. 😉

    A user, a user, and a user walk into a bar.

    The Linux user sits down and confidently orders a drink, knowing they can customize it to their exact liking.

    The Windows user takes a seat and asks, "What does everyone usually get?" They end up with a familiar drink that mostly gets the job done.

    The macOS user glances at the sleek decor and says, "Wow, this place is expensive, but the drinks must be fantastic!" They order a beautifully presented yet pricey cocktail.
