When yarn/react/next.js/amplify breaks in some new and idiotic way, Claude is helpful more often than not. Why spend hours googling and sifting through github/stack overflow/etc when Claude can tell me what option to tweak to fix it in a fraction of the time?

Boring, tedious shit that doesn’t require brainpower, just time, when fixing whatever comes out of the LLM is less annoying than doing it myself.

How is that relevant to “That’s on you for using Java”?

It sounds like you already know how to do embedded programming, at least at the hobby level. For someone who’s new to that, Arduino IDE is the easiest learning curve I know of. As far as which boards to use, I have no specific feelings which is why I said Arduino or equivalent.

You need to understand how code actually works. If you’ve only worked with highly abstracted languages like Python, Ruby, JavaScript, etc then you should probably start by learning lower level languages like C or C++. Or maybe Rust and Go but they’re kind of low level and abstracted at the same time. If you already know C/C++ then buy yourself an Arduino (or equivalent) and start screwing around. If you’re in school and interested in this as a career, take some electrical engineering or digital circuit design classes.

VSCode is the first development environment I’ve used that doesn’t make me feel like this. It’s not perfect but the base application is rock solid and the full DE experience is the more reliable than any other DE I’ve used.

P.S. I specifically said DE for those people who say VSCode isn’t an IDE. Personally I don’t see the point in differentiating.

P.P.S. Sublime is not a DE in my opinion. It’s an excellent text editor with syntax highlighting. The plugins were an afterthought and it was never intended to provide the full experience. Granted I haven’t used it in years.

There was this one time where I took down the accounting department by accidentally DDOSing the SQL server. MS Dynamics is such a piece of garbage that it will crash if the database takes more than a minute to respond.

I thought you were saying to literally use def main(): pass, that’s why I was confused

What is the point of this?

There’s no difference between SSA and ASS in that context so it’s pointless to punish a student for that

I’ve never understood why people are so intimidated by tar

That seems like a good guess, I can see why async hashing could be useful. But it would be nice if there was an alternative API that was blocking so my code wouldn’t get infected with async/await all over the place…
