The final evolution of software engineer is knowing so many programming languages that you can't code in any of them and have to Google basic syntax.

Consider trying this feed of "Other people also liked"
bsky.app/profile/spac...

If you like ML related posts then you will find what people who liked the same posts also liked in the last 24 hours.

That way you kind of automatically follow people who share your interests.

just that period reminder that content posted to Bluesky is public to *anybody*. if you don't want to see it used in a court of law, don't post it here.

and DMs here are not E2EE, they can be subpoened. a great use for bsky DMs is to share secure comms and move the conversation there.

The creator of Turbo Pascal is the same person who created C# (and TypeScript): Anders Hejlsberg. And several Borland folks joined Microsoft with him.

From Scott Guthrie (the creator of ASP .NET) in The Pragmatic Engineer Podcast:

One positive outcome of "vibe coding" becoming widespread across devs is that prototyping becomes widespread.

Until now, it was accepted that for most engineers, prototyping is kind of hard? So I saw relatively few do it.

Now: SO easy with these AI tools! Fewer excuses left?

My favourite one is 'Quiet posters', which shows you posts by people you follow who don't post very often.
