@joelnet Watch out, Claude is a liar!

BRB me and Claude are fighting.

@joelnet Every. Day.

I miss the times when only smart people could access the internet.

@rosehorowitch While it definitely plays a role in the decline for the need of entry level developers, it's not the only reason why layoffs occurred. It took me a while to discover another hidden factor, which has been buried in tax code changes, removal of Section 174. news.ycombinator.com/item?id=442261…

If the numbers are any indication, we might have passed peak computer science. @TheAtlantic

@slicknet Claude Code works pretty well for me. This is coming from an AI doubter. Should include it on your evaluation.

AI IDE showdown! I asked both Windsurf and GitHub Copilot to implement an auth flow using Supabase (creating all UI plus making it work). Both used Claude 3.7. The result? Windsurf got this working almost immediately (1 edit). GitHub Copilot couldn't get it working with direct instructions.

@joelnet Yuk.

Look at how this object behaves differently inside the `if` vs the `else` 🤯

@jayclouse This is the transition you can barely explain to those without children. Enjoy all of this!

Achieving goals is great but I’m not sure anything beats your baby initiating a hug.

@jayclouse You don't. You snuggle up with them before they grow up.

How do you tell an 8-month-old that Saturdays are for sleeping in?

@joelnet I may have to get a blue sky account if you're over there...

I wish i could cross post on both X and BlueSky. That way my posts can be ignored twice.

@Aportzline Still good news, even if we won't see him tonight!

#CBJ Kent Johnson not taking part in end-of-practice battle drills. Positive step that returned to practice today, but not yet ready to join the lineup, it would appear.

@joelnet Man, there's no room for egos when we all just want to build cool stuff and solve hard problems.

@rsnickell Was the classic try-to-sound-smart but not-actually-smart guy. I corrected him out on areas he was wrong and he didn't like that.

My greatest achievement in life was having my (then) boss unfriend me on LinkedIn in while I was still working for him.

@24WeaverDC Thank you for all the updates.

Families - our ETA to Weaver is delayed due to a bus maintenance issue. We have been sending updates to parents (4 total so far) over email/WMS DC canvas page. We will share an updated ETA after our students get their to-go Panera. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

@jayclouse @YouTube You're so lucky to have "TV time"! ;)

It’s happening — I’ve started watching @YouTube during my TV time instead of other major streaming platforms.

@joelnet Neither. They both have a high number of issues and pull requests, which isn't a great sign for future changes. Your future self will be maintaining the forked version or be back choosing an alternative.

Which one you choose? Why? 🅰️0 Dependencies, Last publish 2 years ago 🅱️41 Dependencies, Last publish a day ago

@joelnet Now that's fun.

I just spent the past two days suffering because I throttled my browsers speed to 3G and forgot about it 🤦

@joelnet I still prefer the let usage.

@rsnickell In the first example, let is used, but it has to be declared outside of the try/catch (because it is used further down in the code) and assigned in the try/catch block. In the 2nd, there is no creation of the value above, then setting below, because of hoisting with var.

Pick one. 1️⃣ let (outside) or 2️⃣ var (inside). Why?

@joelnet I suppose more context would be helpful. And why var vs let? My preference would be let for reassigned variables.

@rsnickell Assume the example has other necessary code in the try/catch and we're trying to solve for the variable.

@joelnet @mantennn Barf.

Hard Disagree. It's 100% on the C++ wrappers. The wrapper builds differently on Mac/Windows/Linux. I'm also using an AppOptics wrapper that doesn't include a Mac build. So for local development we have to run it inside a Linux docker container. It also doesn't support ARM architecture, so the Linux Docker container has to emulate X86. The build times are also magnitudes longer in local development and on the CICD pipelines.

I'm just tired of Node C++ wrappers. I am just tired.

@joelnet Does this work for ads as well?

I can't take it anymore! I'm done! I AM DONE!!!
