About me: I designed and implemented backend systems that serve traffic to 100+ million daily users across the US and Canada. Previously a full-stack developer (web, desktop, and some mobile), I’ve transitioned to focus solely on backend work. My extensive experience, often involving 60-80 hours per week, is under NDA, leading to a limited online presence. Now, I’m dedicating time to personal projects and sharing my expertise. I post about programming in general, backend, cloud, containers, databases, and OSS. You'll probably see some occasional memes. I like many languages, including Clojure, Kotlin, Scala, Rust, Zig, and Elixir. But C# and F# will always be special to me.

We're nowhere near singularity nor digitalizing human brains.

While everyone's talking about this team and their experiment, a Chinese group of researchers has actually published a paper about the same thing. arxiv.org/html/2602.17997 Meanwhile, Michael and his team didn't publish any papers nor detailed articles about their work.

@nickproud No, real 10+ years old apps have hundreds of files with over 10k LOC each. I'm staring at a class like that right now...

C# – Expectation vs Reality Expectation: Clean architecture, SOLID principles, domain-driven design. Reality: One 3,000-line class called Helper.cs

Pretty numbers. I wish it also had 777 comments.

@Shinkaboutit @themasmedia @Dexerto Okey but we are not even close to Fusion like is not even funny how far away we are from making an actual fusion nuclear plant

Sam Altman’s OpenAI will use as much power as New York City and San Diego combined, per FORTUNE

@themasmedia @Dexerto Three Mile Island nuclear power plant will reopen for Microsoft npr.org/2024/09/20/nx-…

@Dexerto we need advanced nuclear asap. "clean beautiful coal" and "drill baby drill"? what a joke. electricity demand is just gonna keep going up.

@BrunoLevy01 @DanielW_Kiwi It looks bad in reader's mode tbough

@BrunoLevy01 @DanielW_Kiwi LGTM

Why do academics write code like this in papers? Wouldn't a real language make more sense?

O($1) algorithm

@CFDevelop @jgarc186 You can set your IDE/code standards config/git config to create/convert all files to use LF. I'm on Win 11 and all of my files use LF.

@jgarc186 Except for how Windows corrupts POSIX files with non standard line endings…

Developing on Windows is a massive productivity killer

Apparently Perl is fun metacpan.org/dist/perlsecre…

@Wishcraft_Music @DarthPedro99 @ThePrimeagen It still keeps making stuff up. Just last week I wasted 2 hours trying to make it build one concrete and small feature for me. It kept using methods that don't exist. I eventually had to open the official docs and do it myself in 5 minutes.

@DarthPedro99 @ThePrimeagen Not everyone enjoys it, but vibe coding is really just a much faster way to look up libraries and methods

we are so back

@DarthPedro99 @Havens_Nook @ThePrimeagen Exactly. I save hours when it finally generates a good chunk of code/script/config, but then I waste days fighting/rewriting the rest of the crap it produces. Net productivity is probably negative.

@Havens_Nook @ThePrimeagen was it truly faster though? and how did you measure doing it both ways? there was a recent study showing experienced programmers are actually slower using AI to complete specific tasks.

@StephenPHassall Nice work. It's interesting that more blocks give me better FPS than less blocks.

WebGL demo with moving blocks. There are different settings you can play with too. Have fun 🥳 webglblocks.netlify.app

@wegfawefgawefg @ThePrimeagen Except AI coding assistants are fluggegecheimen here. You might experience occasional pleasure but most likely it will terrify and hurt you.

@ThePrimeagen excavators and shovels coexist

* 27 months into 6 months away from AI stealing your jobs * month 3 of 24 away from no more IDE * chat gpt 5 released and everyone celebrated AGI

@progXprog @ThePrimeagen Good thing I wrote mine before GPT-3 became a thing.

@ThePrimeagen I think we’re also two weeks away from AI writing 90% of code (May be true actually if we’re counting 1bln copies of the Snake Game made with AI) businessinsider.com/anthropic-ceo-…

@sigfualt I mean, React code written by React devs also sucks.

I am not a fan of backend devs working on the frontend. You know what sucks? React code written by c# devs 😂😂
