and it seems like this intellectual tradition, the thinking about programming as a craft, and considering longevity, and outcomes (especially negative ones), has been replaced with nothing but tool choice
these are essays that were 30+ years old, then, but still fresh (and still are)
bc it’s about thinking about programming as a process and a tool
programming was an intellectual tradition not just a job
of which there seems very little today

learning to program in the late 90s and early 00s, you’d inevitably run across classic works like Goto Considered Harmful and No Silver Bullet, even if you weren’t particularly bookish, and there was tons of discourse about HCI as well, all grounded in decades of research

This is not a peace plan. It is a proposal that weakens Ukraine and divides America from Europe, preparing the way for a larger war in the future. In the meantime, it benefits unnamed Russian and American investors, at the expense of everyone else.

LLM-basierende Chatbots helfen nicht beim Lernen. Wer hätte es gedacht...
Relying on ChatGPT to teach you about a topic leaves you with shallower knowledge than Googling and reading about it, according to new research that compared what more than 10,000 people knew after using one method or the other.
