It’s definitely not all. My current team definitely has respect for all that special tooling / ux stuff I’m doing. Especially since nobody was able to do it before I was hired.
But I also had the experience that older Backend devs don’t take it seriously. My guess would that those stoped learning about frontend tech in the late 90s and it’s a case of not knowing what you don’t know.
It’s true it happens for other areas too. But I think it might be true that frontend is often viewed as “the easy” part by other devs. Especially older backend devs seem to think it’s all super easy. At least in my experience.
And that businesses try to push for all devs be full stack doesn’t help.
Might be a good idea. I hope I find one in my area. Thrift stores aren’t that common here.
I already fail at investing the time to level the bad and such stuff. I really would love to use it. But next to work, trying to bootstrap and family time there is not really time left.
I always wanted to print stuff for build small robot parts for Arduino and raspberry pi. Maybe one day when the kids are older…
I thought about that a few times, but my wife doesn’t want another wok that’s taking space. So would need to fine a new home for old one, which doesn’t seem to easy.
I kinda regret buying my 3d printer. Not because it sucks, it’s more because it reminds me I don’t have any free time to do something this time consuming.
Another one is the cast iron wok. I love my cast iron pans, but the wok is just to damn heavy and it you can’t really use it like one would use a normal lightweight wok.
Yes, we own such water vacuum. Those have a water filter instead of air. It’s pretty effective t9 clean the air as well since everything is kept in the water. But using it is a pain in the ass. You need to fill it with fresh water, empty it after use and clean it. Otherwise it smells like a pond with dead fish after a heatwave…
Well I hope it’s ai bros haha.
I kinda feel sad about this whole ai tooling. For me programming was always more like art. But this gets lost now with all the ai stuff.
I sound like an old man yelling at clouds.
Modern Java isn’t that bad, and with new developments like the graalvm and cloud native builds, or what they are called, the footprint of a modern Java app can be comparable to an golang app.
Modern Java kinda has the same image problem as modern PHP. Not saying is all great, but it sure has seen quite the improvements in the last years
It’s the same way for me. I don’t know if my work is this trivial or I’m just “good enough” at it, but it takes me much longer to prompt the chat to get what I want than it takes me to just write it myself.
I honestly kinda feel like I’m using this ai stuff wrong, but outside of generating some basic unit tests and a little better auto complete it feels kinda useless in my day to day work.
I see it as a win, I love refactoring bad code . Just feels so nice afterwards.
Especially when you can remove thousands of lines of duplicated ui code.
That’s so much better than writing new code
But who decides that? If the person who requested it can do this, you only need a friend to abuse the system and give each other a few extra points.
Maybe a open point history could help with this and users moderate themselves with this.
Yeah that’s definitely a possibility. It’s really a tricky topic to build a review community. One could try other approaches like dedicated volunteer reviewers. But if you look at exorcism, that will become hard to manage for languages with huge demand.
A system where everyone also needs to review is definitely better. Especially since everyone also learns reading other peoples code.
True, it’s not a fleshed out idea haha. But starting with a few points would work.
Could actually be a cool in it self, wish I had time for something like that.

Would love something like this, but it’s very hard to get such a community working. Most of the time there will be way more people wanting a review of their code than people wanting to put in the work and review something.
Maybe some kind of point system could work. Like one needs to review at least two times before you can get your work reviewed.
Have you considered buying a used thin client / mini PC?
Since the Orange Pi 5 sounded interesting, I checked it out and it’s rather expensive. Well at least for me.
I found it from 180 to 200 Euro for the 8GB version. An used thin client or mini PC can be bought for half the price and most of the time it comes with 256gb storage included.
The extra cost for energy should be less than what you might be paying extra for the Orange Pi plus storage.
Oh yes, especially with a red wine based sauce. I can’t wait for autumn and winter. ( my wife thinks is weird to it when is warm outside)
Ah that looks awesome. Definitely gonna try that out. Thanks for sharing
Does anyone know what they are doing with context data send to their system? Could only find that the saas version had some audit, but didn’t know that term.
It sounds interesting enough to try it in day to day work, but we can’t use most AI tools so far as it violates our company rules when we send parts of the code base as context.
Really need to speak to our lawyer again about this…
