Many new engineering managers come to the job full of frustration at the shitty management they have endured and/or witnessed, and determined not to inflict the same shit on their teams.
And they don't! 💕
Instead, they make new mistakes...like these.

Look... a 0-day is not the fault of the developer. Especially one who isn't paid for the software and distributes it "AS-IS without warranty."
You can judge the CA operator.
But I will say: We ALL need to be more responsible consumers of open source. matt.life/writing/the-asymme…

AI demos are easy, AI products are hard.
Anyone can slap together an AI demo that seems to work on the surface & impresses a crowd, but true AI products have to have quality, generality, be fast, hit the right features, not have domain drift, etc.
I'm not impressed by AI demos.

I can't stop thinking about @_x7ryan's statement. I don't want to continue this discussion, I have different reflection:
RESPECT #OSS MAINTAINERS. They're not your servants, their work is a foundation for your businesses, side projects. Give them god damn right to design things.
ALT Greg: The tail can't wag the dog. It's authors' decision what's extendable and what's not. I said it several times: there are other techniques to make library/tool customisable, not only inheritance. You just can't jump in and extend anything what and how you like 🤷♂️. Ryan: And the package author is the tail. They provide a small part of something bigger. Ultimately only I as the consumer can truly decide if inheritance is necessary or not. The packsge author has no context to decide that. And it's different for each app anyway.

If you're a software engineer, your main job is maintaining legacy code.
Why? Because building a system doesn't take long, in comparison to how long code will last, assuming the code/business are successful.
Here are the 10 commandments of maintaining legacy code.

What are real applications of ChatGPT as of today? Beyond enthusiastic influencers expecting to make money talking about it, and non software developers pretending they learnt to build software using the prompt, weeks go by and no massive applications show up

🚩Insecure
🚩Inefficient
🚩Unreadable
🚩Inaccessible
🚩Requires pristine input
🚩No error handling or logging
🚩Uses old unsupported versions
🚩Only runs on specific hardware/OS/browser
🚩People are scared to change it
