Part IV: "The Developer's Journey" 🧵

I learned programming by doing boring work. AWT to Swing migrations. PHP CRUD sites at night while doing my PhD.

The tedium was the tuition.

Today that work takes seconds with an LLM.

So how do juniors learn?

Write code to make being human easier. Rip code out if it makes being human harder. Write code to make caring for each other easier. Rip it out if it makes caring for each other harder.

Empathy driven development has literally never failed me. It’s done me better than everything else combined

Quand vous ne savez pas trop quoi penser d'une décision de justice pénale, un réflexe basique : Ecoutez les avocats pénalistes.

Car ils sont indépendants & compétents.

A la grande différence de tant d'autres qui s'expriment depuis vendredi...

#Java 25 was released yesterday (sorry, I'm late, I was OOO).

For those who haven't read it, it's time to check my article about what's new in Java 25 for us developers.

Le projet #ChatControl de certains dirigeants européens de faire surveiller les communications privées des européens par des IA sous prétexte fallacieux de lutte contre la pédophilie recule une nouvelle fois: c'est une bonne nouvelle; mais une fois de plus c'est de justesse… et ce truc reviendra.
#ChatControl : la surveillance des messageries chiffrées, « projet de loi européen le plus critiqué de tous les temps », a (encore) du plomb dans l'aile.
Sauf retournement de situation, l'adoption du texte semble improbable, faute de pouvoir réunir 65% de la pop EU.

This wasn’t a joke btw. It works. You’d be surprised how much uwu breaks guardrail implementations.

Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on.

Drowning is not the violent, splashing call for help that most people expect.

Life can be hard. Treating people well doesn’t make it less hard for you, but it can make it less hard for other people.

Science is political. It wouldn't necessarily have to be partisan.

But when one party is opposed to science-based policy, scientists have a choice between saying "you're right, thoughts and prayers are probably as effective as reducing carbon emissions" or saying "fuck that."

I really hope everyone understands what is going on with Elon and Wikipedia.

Wikipedia is one of our last remaining bastions of evidence-based consensus reality.

The MAGA narrative is fundamentally threatened by evidence-based fact, and Wikipedia is a repository of evidence-based fact.
This is ABSOLUTELY factual! Musk’s gesture WAS compared to a Nazi salute or a fascist salute. Musk DID deny any meaning behind the gesture. Musk’s argument appears to be with reality.

Earlier tonight I posted an example of a Google Gemini query where adding quotation marks around a song title flips the answer you get from "yes" to "no". (1/2)
