It seems to me this is one of a very few, actually on topic posts here :) Thanks.

From what I have read that is one of the key issues that has held Japan back, its sick corporate culture, which includes this kind of nonsense. The stories are interesting with people slacking during much of the day, then looking all busy and serious after 6pm.

In order to get good work from Claude Code (honestly screw the rest) you have to instruct it, very carefully. I take days to make an outline of a major project before I can even let it do one thing, then I take things in very small pieces and I explain that to Claude Code as well. Checklist after checklist. I get things done REALLY fast and I don't have the kind of issues that seem to be all over the place, like in this pathetic article. I find ChatGPT goes nuts half the time I ask it things, it gave me deprecated APIs in instructions for Klaviyo and Facebook, like REALLY deprecated stuff. You often get to see how good or bad an API's docs are by how badly AIs screw things up. I constantly ask them to give me coding references/links and it is not uncommon to get back, oh sorry, I made that up. I save insane amounts of time just by asking that question fairly often. BUT, I still can go faster than I ever have before and making really good quality work, all of which I understand because I take the time to make sure I do, before I move on to another step. Honestly what is so hard about this? I think that definition of "Senior" needs some vetting in these articles in the future.

I have been looking for this comment and finally someone said it!! Apple is the very worst on this note. Others are staring to look more like Apple. Or maybe Prime is the very worst since they constantly mix shows that cost more money with "included" ones.

This is nothing but a money grab. Shopify has pretty much treating any tracking code as if it is the enemy and then it gets hit with this.

So I will add another. I know WTF Redis is and think very highly of it. But more like, WTF is Valkey and why should I care because I won't ever use it no matter what they do to the distributions. So because I do have the power of Google, unlike a few posters here, "Valkey as a community-led fork of Redis" so what? Another MariaDB which is what led me, happly, to move to Postgres. MySQL being purchased and thrown around like a bitch after that is what ruined it. Does Slashdot not even have techs anymore? I can't believe the stupidity of these comments in general.

Kissing the ground...

Keep that tune going in the dark buddy :)

I really didn't need them anymore. I can use Claude.ai very efficiently to get around the UI/Design issues that I used to consider in their wheelhouse for my projects. And yea, I both feel empowered and scared as to what comes next. Claude has already helped me with some significate architecture decisions, of course my input matters as to the end quality of those responses, but it is still such a massive change that I am afraid of how far things can improve in a few years and what that will mean towards competition, when only a few of the very best can make software to do exactly what anyone wants on a whim.

And didn't we already see this?

I might. There is less and less reason I need a desktop OS for anything that to run a browser, I can even run MS Office 365 on that, so what do I need Windows for exactly? The only other thing is VS Code, which has supported Ubuntu version which would be my choice to replace Windows, just because I work with it so much on AWS.

Make my USB work? Seriously, no improvements in decades, I can't even handle the stupidity of defaults on file manager, default saves all over the place depending on the program and often making the wrong choice. What good is an OS when most work is online anyway?

I ran Linuz on a potato clock, next...

Bravo. Bravo.

First off, I hate fucking Java. Second, the data may be correct, but the conclusion is out of reality. The reason this is an issue and the up votes go for the easiest not most secure answer, is 1. Human nature, 2. Companies don't give a flying fuck about security. If a "business" leader in a ecom org can't even be bothered to learn a single thing about how a web page even works, then they certainly don't really understand the impact of a few coding side steps and no budget will be allocated DAY TO DAY, to deal with it. After the fact security reviews are doomed to fail, because there is just to much rot after a while.
