Every decision I’ve made to write code with poor maintainability was driven by time pressure to deliver

Every bad decision in my code bases were because I didn’t have enough time to do things the right way

With LLMs I get work done about 3-5x faster. Same level of maintainability and readability I’d have gotten writing it myself. Where LLMs fail is architecting stuff out- they can’t see the blind alleys their architecture decisions being them down. They also can’t remember to activate python virtual environments, like, ever.

Infinite loop and hard coded magic constant; this should have a configurable timeout and a resource file the string is read from so we can internationalize the application. Additionally, the use of a goto with a hard coded line number is a runtime bug waiting to happen after unrelated refactors; it’s best to use a looping construct that has more deterministic bounds.

The question becomes, then, if I spend 5 years learning and mastering C++ versus rust, which one is going to help me produce a better product in the end?

An acquaintance of mine once wrote a finite element method solver entirely in C++ templates.

Storage data structures. Database tables are designed for fast read/write. Excel is designed for fast simultaneous parallel computation.

To get a sense of what this looks like, you can read more about their data structures; Databases typically store data in what’s called a “B Tree” and spreadsheets typically store as a format that can be easily converted into a “Directed Acyclic Graph” (although Excel lets you turn off the “acyclic” part if you allow circular references).

Although, with Excel specifically, there’s probably not much difference since it has some database functionality now.

I had to refund armored core 6 because the first boss fight stuttered so much. I have a 3080, so not the best but definitely no slouch. No matter what settings I tweaked, it’d always drop to slideshow performance for 1-2 seconds at a time. Acceptable in a cheaper title, maybe, but not on a full price game.

I’m having the same issue

Some places are inextricably tied to SimuLink due to how long it was around before any of the alternatives.

Waiting to get a better eyeglass prescription so I can read the tiny text

Python is Spanish; a ton of people learned a bit in school and never picked it back up again. Places that speak it natively all have their own conventions because, even though the native languages were replaced by colonizers, a lot of the native languages patterns remained in place. Most places that speak it are super welcoming and stoked that you’re trying to learn.

Assembly is proto-indo-european

It’s the recommended approach to replace WCF which was deprecated after .NET framework 4.8. My company is just now getting around to ripping out all their WCF stuff and putting in gRPC. REST interfaces were always a non-starter because of how “heavyweight” they were for our use case (data collection from industrial devices which are themselves data collectors).

In my experience Perl is a write-only language. Coming in behind someone else and fixing or writing their code is often slower than just rewriting it

I’ve written a million lines of powershell in the past few years for stupid business reasons. I fucking hate the language and I don’t see why anyone would write anything serious in it
