Senior devs: AI tools shine with strong patterns and practices. Your architectural skills matter more than ever! #coding #AI #softwaredev https://manuel.kiessling.net/2025/03/31/how-seasoned-developers-can-achieve-great-results-with-ai-coding-agents/

Question for my fellow #CPP nerds - my boss says a method shouldn't be declared const because it writes to the database. I think, to be blunt, he's insane Not that I've told him that of course. AITA?

German tech needs its own path. Think small digital companies with deep focus. This fits our engineering culture.

Study Finds That People Who Entrust Tasks to AI Are Losing Critical Thinking Skills

The joy of crafting software is dying. We chase new toys while ignoring what matters: simplicity and quality.

I just read ...

“He who works with his hands is a laborer,” he quoted. “He who works with his hands and his head is a craftsman. He who works with his hands and his head and his heart is an artist.”

… and I can’t decide what that makes me.

I found a killer analysis on why productivity tools don't make us productive. The fun vs. grind debate we all need.

Hi fedi! ​​ I'm Hazel, a transfem fox-girl software developer.

I've been around for a while, but a lot has changed and my previous intro is no longer accurate. You may know me from the staff of Transfem.Social and Void.Lgbt, or as a maintainer of Sharkey and ModShark.

To anyone meeting me for the first time: Hello and welcome to my profile! It's nice to meet you! I'm a polyamorous trans lesbian from the USA, and I'm part of a plural system (though my headmate isn't currently on fedi). I enjoy meeting other queer people, and I love spending time in our community here on fedi. Feel free to reach out if you have a question about queer experiences, or if you just want to chat!

My hobbies include open-source software development, retro-computing, and gaming. I have a number of open-source projects, and I'd love to hear about yours too! I don't have much time for gaming anymore, but my current interests are Honkai Star Rail, Genshin Impact, and TTRPGs. My favorite game to date is the original Life is Strange, which actually helped me discover my trans identity.

If any of this sounds like you, then feel free to drop a follow request. I'd love to hear from you! And finally, some emojis that make me happy:

Pues me he mudado a masto.es porque ademas ya tenía cuenta y lo olvidé

Aun estoy de mudanza pero repito la #presentación :

¡Saludos desde Madrid! Aquí va un poco sobre mí:
* Bibliotecario reconvertido a desarrollador backend (20+ años con Perl, Java y C#)
* Fotógrafo amateur obsesionado con:
- Aves en su hábitat natural
- Paisajes nocturnos y astrofotografía
- Fotografía macro
- Fotografía callejera
* Metalhead y amante del rock alternativo
* Devorador de:
- Ciencia ficción clásica (Asimov, Clarke, Bradbury)
- Fantasía urbana contemporánea
- Sagas épicas (Dune, Fundación)

Software bugs can be pure comedy gold! This collection proves Murphy's law exists in our code.

When looking at #dependencies for a #software project, I usually start at the code repository. That's always been the entrypoint I gravitate towards, but unfortunately results in the following workflow quite often:
1. Navigate to repo.
2. Read README.
3. Navigate to docs link.
4. Find that the first page of the docs is the exact same README I just read, including a self-referential link to the docs that I'm already on.
5. Find the actual unique starting point in the docs.

I don't think I'd go as far as to say that people should stop making their README the default front page of their docs. Maybe the majority of people are navigating directly to the docs from a search result, making the presence of the README legitimately helpful.

But for me, going to the repo first helps me to ensure that I'm in the right place, and not e.g. browsing the docs of some fork. With that in mind, Maybe project maintainers could link from their repo to a specific starting point in their docs, rather than the docs site in general?

Tiny rant: I seriously dislike the "Conventional Commits" spec. The first line of the commit message is the most visible, it's purpose is for humans to read it. Using the start of that line for machine-readable info like `chore` makes the message less readable, adds very little info, wastes screen space, and prioritizes tools over humans.
That info belongs in the message body.

How is it 2024 and we still have no universal way to show that a UI element has a long press action?

Managed to catch myself in a meeting just now and avoided saying some code was “pegging the database”

Used to say that to mean “maxing it out”, lol.
