An example that not all companies are run by idiots. The job market is not a healthy market though, where its more important to know ppl then to be great at some skill. But if leadership sucks just leave if you can, that will fix the problem.
Someone should make a service "where in the pi am I" then you could use it as a short link. Then there will be hardware accelerated pi chips. All computers will come with pi preinstalled.
The tech stack is almost always decided by someone in leadership that has no developer experience. Or by the consultant company that will chose the most complicated and difficult to maintain stack because then they can invoice more and will win all future contracts. The trick is to hire someone that is not corrupted by money, someone like the author of this post, who cares more for the users then how much he gets paid.
npmjs.org is a joke at this point. I guess their support is run by LLM because you can just write to them and they will transfer ownership of any module nilly willy.
First they had links to other sites. Then they put the information found on other sites on their own site. Then they took the information from other sites, trained a LLM with it, and put it on their own site without even linking to the source.
I don't get why many folks are missing the obvious issue - even if you manage all that, its at most a copy command, there is never actual move. You yourself would be staring at this other guy, probably being envious since form now on its him / her having the future, while the actual you who wrote that comment is about to be removed for disposal. And whole representation of universe and Earth you have in your mind would die with you.
You would have to move every electron traveling in between each neuron into exactly same place, same momentum etc. All of them in the same time obviously. I stress the word move. In a system that is constantly moving on molecular level at crazy speed. Even that is only valid in case our consciousness is just electron cloud at given moment travelling in the brain. Maybe its more, all interconnected.
How you want to move that. The science for that won't be around for millennia, if ever (there may be quite hard constraints on quantum level in similar way speed of light is hard limit for Star trek utopias, universe doesn't rearange itself and change its laws just because of our emotional wishful thinking). Once we can do that, it means we could mess with telomeres, DNA etc with 100% precision and knowledge so this will be a moot point. Don't hold your breath for this.
The simplest way to "fix" that is killing the original one as a required and atomic part of the process. Make it so that there is no moment in time when both are awake and concious
But that is still asking people to get into the death box so that a clone of them can live on. Personally, I wouldn't accept certain death so a copy of me could live.
They've made a lot of progress in the recent years, and the last two major releases downright feel snappy compared to GitHub (really, browsing a repo tree is literally snappy). Oh, and their SPA implementation actually works, the back button is not broken 90% of the time like it is on GH.
And mind you, that's on a small 4 core VM on 2019 mid-range Xeons, which I would not consider to be a huge amount of compute (granted, not Raspberry Pi level, but I'd expect the SD card to be much more of an issue).
So yeah, along with the sane(r) way to do CI pipelines, and usable review tools, it's a net improvement over GitHub.
