Code Dude

@zarath_dev Cool.

@catcodedude I would prefer software one Unless I don't have enough memory

Today I learned about debouncing, and wrote about it. Please read it and leave your reviews - x.com/zarath_dev/sta…

@Swole_Medic I will. Thanks :)

@catcodedude No worries, it's not polarized so you did nothing wrong! Keep at it and post your progress.

(screams in ADHD)

@zarath_dev Thankss :)

@catcodedude awesome

And my 7 segment display driver is readyyyy !! 🕺🕺It takes in 4 bits input and produces 0-9 numbers on the display as output.

I would be needing resistors a lot in digital electronics and its a pain to put them on breadboard everytime. So for my 7 segment work, I made this small messy resistor array. Works pretty well.

Weekend project. Will be building a 7 segment display driver circuit.

Huge congratulations to @SkyrootA for successful launch in first attempt. Visuals are stunning.

@0xkozue Congratulations 🙌

if all 1,000 of you were in one room, i'd probably forget how to speak. thank you.

@madietlx I am currently taking this course. Got a great basic understanding of things to such an extent we can explore things on our own.

I was just wondering if there are Udemy courses for building hardware. Apparently, there are some.

We have waited a long time for this shot 😍 Vikram-1 is easily one of the if not THE most beautiful solid fueled rocket! 🔥

@zarath_dev Why reading datasheet is not a first step?

So I have written this program that allows me to toggle the onboard LED on and off. Initially I planned to display a message but implementing UART is way beyond my skill level. So the progress in roadmap is clear. I am going to make a cheat sheet for myself.

Got some new stuff 🙂‍↔️

I feel coding manually helped us keeping our logic sharp. We used to think for hours, used to draw brain maps of the logic, used to spend days on a bug and always felt happiness on fixes. That is gone now. Coding is no more a problem to solve. Design definitely is, but it does not change so often. So there is nothing left to think anymore.

I'm 33 and I think Claude Code is melting my brain. For 6 months straight I've had 5-6 terminals open at once, waiting on responses just to smash "enter" 90% of the time. That's the whole job now. And it's doing something to me. A few friends and I keep circling back to the same thing in conversations: none of us feel as sharp as we used to. Maybe it's just us. But I keep wondering how many other people in their 30s feel it too. (And yeah: this is a me problem, how I lean on the tool, not the tool itself. Doesn't make the effect any less real.)

A, B, C or D?

@owenthcarey Its the way to go

System design seems way more useful than LeetCode-style problems in the AI era.

@retro_pixels @DanielGlejzner Yep. Your codebase should never become a blackbox. And there are a lot of other things in software engineering just beyond code. If you dont know the fundamentals you cant tackle them.

@catcodedude @DanielGlejzner What? I’m guessing the AI solves the problem, but you’re testing to see if they understand the solution?

Software hiring has become absurd. At work, you’re expected to use AI to offload manual coding and move faster. Then, to get your next contract, you’re asked to code from memory with no assistance. Pass the interview - and you’re expected to use AI again. It has never been this broken.

My expectations from candidates are, they understand the quality of code produced by ai, point out wrong decisions taken by ai, find out which solution is best. They don’t have to think through the best solution but still they should know which one would be the best. And yes, candidates must have solid fundamentals understanding. They must know how to do LLD and HLD.

@catcodedude That’s the right filter here :) I had an interview once where I could perfectly explain all ins and outs and fundamentals - however I have not been able to type it all out correctly. Guess what , the typing part was a deciding factor in the end
