Money talks – or does it? Coming out of the pandemic, IT pros said they are looking for work/life balance and good communication. It's ping pong tables, isn't it?

Git and Version Control skills are essential for development, but they’re often glossed over in coding curriculum and onboarding. It's so simple, any git can use it - after watching multiple training videos on it

A widespread Facebook phishing campaign stating, "I can't believe he is gone. I'm gonna miss him so much," leads unsuspecting users to a website that steals your Facebook credentials. And watch out for the "I can't believe people are still falling for these" comments

and the "I can't believe it's not butter!" posts.

Meta is reorganizing its AI teams as it joins the growing ranks of companies trying to create artificial general intelligence, or AGI. I thought they already had an AI called Mark Zuckerberg?
Edit: replaced blurb with the original one I had thought of

AI... now AGI...
I wonder how long until the Q for Quantum gets into the acronyms.
And I hope the search for it doesn't reach the "TEOTWAWKI" one.

AG1 has been around for a while.

They said "intelligence".

Great documentation is important for humans, but more so for machines. The concept of ‘tiered documentation’ means that both developers and LLMs get what they need. Now the AI want their own documentation?

We have to write unambiguous, correct code. If AI is going to write the code, it will need unambiguous, correct specifications, which merely shifts the problem from <computer-language-of-your-choice> to <natural-language-of-your-choice>.

Natural language, or an argot of some sort? I'm thinking that natural languages tend towards ambiguity, but an argot can reduce that. I'm thinking of something like "lawyerese", where every word or phrase has an exact legal interpretation, and although to the uninitiated, legal documents seem to be redundant and florid, to a lawyer, the meaning is clear and precise.

If these LLMs can understand natural languages, maybe an argot wouldn't be necessary.
The funny thing is that I was going to say something about lawyers becoming the new coders. At least this would give some of them work that's more beneficial to society.

When you execute a .NET method, the JIT compiles the method to native code. This native code is then executed by the CPU. In this post, I describe how you can inspect the generated assembly code. Because you never know when you want to keep an eye on that compiler

Quote: Because you never know when you want to keep an eye on that compiler In my PLC times I wrote a nested for loop in SCL and it made a 87Kb function to transfer to the PLC, when I had a look inside my head almost blew up.
I did the same functionality on my own using LAD... End size didn't reach the 2Kb to do the same.
My point is: Only because you might be able to open the generated assembly code, it doesn't mean that you are going to understand anything about it. I definitivelly couldn't understand what the Step 7 generated, at all.

The really short version: the way we build/ship software these days is mostly ridiculous, leading to 350MB packages that draw graphs, and simple products importing 1600 dependencies of unknown provenance. It is not _that_ the code is shipping, it's _what_ code is shipping
With apologies to Ron White

I empathize with everything Hubert writes. Unfortunately, like most things nowadays, it's too late to change how software is developed, short of another dinosaur killing asteroid or man-made catastrophe. My money is on the man-made catastrophe option. (Though one other option is for an enlightened project manager to "just say no", but as I was told in my 20's, "I can't put 'I used Marc's software development paradigms' on my resume." I kid you not.
