#softwaredevelopment — Public Fediverse posts

FYI: For the person who reads release notes before coffee: Sixteen terms, four groups of four, drawn from the parts of the job that changed most in the last decade. The hardest group rewards a long memory. https://ppc.land/reads-release-notes-before-coffee/ #ReleaseNotes #TechTrends #SoftwareDevelopment #MemoryChallenge #JobEvolution

I have updated the build process of Neoglogg - the fast, smart log explorer. Updated and upgraded.

Now all operating systems can download and install a binary - Linux, Windows, Mac OS (and AppImage):

If you need a fast log viewer for large multi-GB files, this is your tool.

Beim nächsten Feature: schreib drei Fassungen auf, bevor du eine angehst. Feldweg, Pflasterstraße, Autobahn.

Der Feldweg ist die Version, die dir peinlich ist und trotzdem funktioniert. Die baust du zuerst. Danach weißt du, ob die Autobahn überhaupt jemand braucht.

Der Punkt ist nicht das Kleinschneiden. Verhandelt wird der Ausbaugrad, nicht der Termin.

You might have had a stressful week…
You might be feeling overwhelmed…
You might have worked hard all week and feel a bit tired...

It's the weekend, it's time to take stock, check in with yourself and put yourself first!

👉 It's ok to switch off from tech for a while.
👉 It's ok to take a break from what you're learning.
👉 It's ok to forget all about work and focus on yourself.

Having Gemini verify and augment Claude on difficult decisions is good habit. Gemini proposes stuff Claude ignores or does not mention. E.g. how to use QTextDocument::toPlainText() and keeping URLs from HTML as well (this function discards them).

🤖😂 Oh, the "AI Situation" - where software developers ponder the meaning of life through context windows and compression! 🧠💥 It's like watching someone explain how to teach a goldfish to do calculus - both time-consuming and utterly pointless. 📈🐠

I’m really trying to understand what Cal Newport wants to say with all this Mumgo Jumbo pseudo-intellectual bullshit. What do you mean? That you’re not supposed to review the output generated by a Large Language Model? Honey, you’re the human in the loop. You’re responsible for every piece of crap (as well as awesomeness) generated by a chatbot. “Garbage In; Garbage Out”. There’s no magic beyond this equation. Use another chatbot to review the output of your main chatbot, if you’re a bit lazy. Just don’t come up with fake excuses for Amateur-level work. You have your personal genie. Use it well. If I have one or two complaints about 2026 chatbots is that they’re still too slow and very verbose. Everything else is intellectual bullshit to make us think we are living in the year of 1876. Well, we are not. What we have today is something that when I was born (in 1975), was entirely the domain of science-fiction movies.

“This last year has been exhausting. The PR departments of the frontier labs have done an excellent job convincing us that AI developments are occurring at an astounding, world-changing rate. But if you zoom out, it becomes clear that almost every “breakthrough” since last summer has concerned the narrow domains of computer code and math, which are defined by highly structured languages and come accompanied by massive amounts of specialized training data.

And yet, even in this best-case-scenario setting for AI, we’re still struggling to figure out how to actually use these tools in a way that makes sense in the long run.

This doesn’t mean that AI doesn’t work or is useless. But it does emphasize an important truth: AI is not a magic “infinity machine” that can solve all our problems, and ultimately deliver us a sense of meaning in a cold, confusing world. It’s a normal technology, and perhaps it’s time we start talking about it that way.”

What do great software engineers do for themselves and their teams?

✅ They take responsibility.

Not just for their code but for their thoughts and actions, too.

If a bug is found in their code, they accept responsibility and fix it.

They don’t blame:

👉 Their product owner for oversubscribing the sprint.
👉 The testers for not finding it before it was released.

As a software engineer, this was a nightmare for me… 😱

Speaking to customers on the phone…

The phone would ring, my nerves would spike…

I'd sigh with relief when I realised it wasn't mine...

When it was mine, I'd feel self-conscious.

I'd think everyone was listening to me and
waiting for me to mess up...

I found it extremely stressful... at first...

🎩📜 "Stop sending ginormous PRs," cries the brave soul who dared to venture into the belly of AI-generated code dumps, only to emerge ranting about their war scars. Apparently, the real plot twist is that small PRs were never about easing coding—we just wanted to give reviewers a break from their eternal scrolling. 🙄🖱️

Software developers spent decades trying to create deterministic, reproducible systems and then AI happened and suddenly we're trying to retrofit the same mental model into non-deterministic technology haha. It is an interesting time to be a software developer. Im thankful im surviving and still employed. I just dont think we can apply the same mental model in this age anymore.
