It sounds like the current trajectory is that the russian bond sales will not cover their deficit and that there is either not enough money in the NWF or an unwillingness to use it.
If it goes their, what are the russian states options? Printing money? Gov. shutdown like in the usa? Default?

Unresolved differences is not odd, the question is if you have the same idea of how to go to the goal or not?

In practical terms you your productivity is the amount of features (where stability, reusability, cleanliness, etc, etc, are features) minus the amount of grief (bugs, anti-patterns, faulty design choices, etc, etc) you implement, IMHO.

I would call myself a ”real developer” (if by real we mean professional) and I don’t. I feel sorry for them mostly, it is a way of coding where failures teaches you little in my experience :/

Seems to be roughly a doubling of the loss of loading between 2023-2024 to 2024-2025.
Assuming its somewhat correlated to trains wearing out, if I calculated things correctly then a total cascade failure of the railway system would be at q2 next year... right?

Before you understand what the issue is its a pain but once you have seen it a couple of times, its easy to fix and avoid.

You can do a lot with them, there are however some pitfals (like how they can create silent errors). They are, though, super cool when you get them right 🤩

This is also why big bang releases are hard, no matter what signal your measuring.

Do you work with AI in a dev environment? On a day to day basis with more than yourself?

I need to look at the data to say for sure, but I do not think we see a difference in total delivery speed (i.e feature request to getting it ready for prod) between junior devs using ai vs not using ai. Hard to say though, for various reasons.
I’m sure the ai users produce more code though.

No, in many cases it already is. I’m not against using AI, but in order to get real value you need to know what you are doing and getting there is in my experience hindered by the use of AI.

I work as a architect at a bank, it does not get much more real and trust me, process matters a great deal because it creates the result.

Got any resources on how to do that? You are clearly more of an expert than me in this.

It’s not an either/or.
With that said I have observed that cohorts that rely on AI early produces less good code-design than those that don’t, specifically in relation to performance, security, concurrency and validity.

What made you think I would ever want to use shame to teach anyone anything?
That sounds like a terrible idea.

I’m building Axiomatic Value — it helps you grow your SaaS with data.
Basically you put a small snippet on your page + gives it a stripe code and it segments your sales data and tells you what marketing/sales-process leads to retention.

Like. A lot of my job is about elevating people, taking them from junior devs to seniors or from seniors to architects.
AI is a thing that really stops people's development, especially in the early stages.

Imagine trying to teach a child how to tie shoe-laces, but you do it for them badly/wrongly. Then you ask them to figure out where it went wrong.
Thats what your asking junior devs to do in this scenario.

I do not agree.
Figuring out the right design requires you to think about design, to make decision’s. Basically to fail. AI stops that.

An old UI/UX teacher of mine had the following recommendation for creating smooth user experiences:
Get a test user.
Ask them to perform the task and explain what they are doing as they do it.
When they hesitate, thats when they are confused. Figure out why.
Hope it helps :)

Yeah, I think so too, rewriting it now so hopefully I will be able to give some info on success/failure next week. :)
