You must accept that 3 letter agencies have full root access to any Tim Apple or Google device and will use it if they already went far enough to do an FBI raid on a reporter.
It actually proves that they _don't_ (or didn't) have that kind of access because they first publicly asked for the access and then rescinded that request when they, not officially but widely accepted, acquired access through some kind of hack/bug/exploit given to them by, probably, the IDF or an Israeli private company.
Appeasing a moron with a shiny, valuable object is low effort. Covering up and adding a backdoor to Apple's widely used iOS is not in the same ballpark.
> They literally went to the king with gold in hands.
Exactly what I was thinking about when I was writing my comment.
I can understand that big corpos are not our friends and are purely money driven, but publicly bribing the president with gold is on a level no one ever expected. Right in line with the Fifa peace price.
IDK, the FIFA world peace prize was completely unsurprising to me. It’s a massively corrupt institution and has been for decades. It’s out of the norm in a US context, for sure, but that kind of thing is penny ante for an organization whose Wikipedia article has multiple subsections on corruption
What is especially insane is people STILL praise Apple for championing "privacy" - after Snowden, after China, after Trump ... the well-engineered sunk-cost fallacy is just too potent to resist, I guess.
"End to end" protection/encryption has lost all functional meaning when the masses accepted corporations as the arbiters of "ends". No one can even respond to the argument based on technical merit, because all that remains is hollow marketing bullshit.
The same reason federal agents wear GoPros. Security theater, and to send the message that journalists should not pursue stories like this that put the federal government in a less-than-favorable light.
I'm afraid Snowden was so long time ago, that the most vocal people don't even seemingly know about it, so yet again, we're in a period of time where assuming Apple/Google has full access to anything you do on your device, is seen as conspiracy theories. People seem to forget the past so damn quick, it's a wonder we humans manage to accomplish anything at all at this point.
0. Claude, have a look at frontend project A and backend project B.
1. create a skeleton clone of frontend A, named frontend B, which is meant to be the frontend for backend project B, including the oAuth configuration
2. create the kubernetes yaml and deployment.sh, it should be available under b.mydomain.com for frontend B and run it, make sure the deployment worked by checking the page on b.mydomain.com
3. in frontend B, implement the UI for controller B1 from backend B, create the necessary routing to this component and add a link to it to the main menu, there should be a page /b1 that lists the entries, /b1/xxx to display details, /b1/xxx/edit to edit an entry and /b1/new to create one
4. in frontend B, implement the UI for controller B2 from backend B, create the necessary routing to this component and add a link to it to the main menu, etc.
etc.
All of this is done in 10 minutes. Yeah I could do all of this myself, but it would take longer.
Did you need it though? Like most projects I see being done by people with Claude Code are just their personal projects, which they wouldn't have wasted their time on in the past but now they will get pulled into the terminal thinking its only gonna take 20 mins and they end up burning 100s of subscription dollars on it. If there is no other maintainer & the project is all yours, I dont see any harm in doing it.
I don't NEED this, but turning 2-3 hours fiddling with DTOs, kubernetes yaml, dockerfiles, deployment scripts and other busy work into half an hour does "save you the whole evening" (which our current discussion is about!).
With adults usually having no more than 2-3 hours of free time per work day, this allows you to productively program in your free time without fully burning out.
Also, my company pays for claude and does not give a shit what I do with it.
Yeah there is overhyped marketing, but at this point, AI has revolutionized software engineering and is writing the majority of code world wide whether you like it or not and is still improving.
I have been in software engineering for more than 13 years, have interviewed and hired many people in that time…
Never once did I look at any portfolio. Actually, no one had any they wanted to show!
After screening the CV, they got a 1 hour first round for cultural fit and technical foundations, a simple take home exercise (e.g. build a service that sends emails), in the second round they had to go through their code and justify their choices and in the second part the had to code review the bad submission of a former applicant and in the third part they had to draw up how they‘d extend and embed that service in a microservice landscape.
2 rounds. Never had a „mishire“. Hiring is that easy.
yeah, that's often the case it always felt important to me (but I can't say I never "mishired")
btw, I don't advertise it but junior devs can also use the tool for take home assignments (not sure if it would be a good or a bad thing as a recruiter)
Next time you're around children in a library look at those that are glued to their screens versus those reading picture books. Equating them as the same is so hilariously expected from a tech forum tho.
If they aren't competing on price, what were they competing on to have Wal-Mart take over so much market share? Did people just switch to shopping at Wal-Mart because they like the greeters?
And what about Aldi and Lidl? Why do people put up with these weird German hard discounters, if not for lower prices?
In Austria I have noticed a massive social stigma. I think that's embarrassing and backwards. As someone who is very athletic and takes nothing extraordinary besides creatine and whey protein I fully support anyone who wants to become healthier, with or without medication.
In my experience this is not healthy. People who had problems with weight are very quickly losing excess weight and displaying a range of symptoms related to that including sunken and starved looking faces and significant loss of lean muscle mass. Changes made to the face with rapid weight loss may become permanent and especially for older people the loss of lean muscle mass can become a major health problem. Sudden extreme changes in body composition are often neither healthy nor stable.
There might be health problems associated with these drugs but they need to be compared to the next best option. I think for a lot of people on these drugs the next best option is continuing the status quo which has a lot of negative health outcomes as well.
Work for big companies that offer SWE positions they don‘t really need but won‘t downsize due to lack of accountability.
Never join small, privately owned (or even worse, privately controlled!) companies with extreme accountability and ownership. No startups. Run if they mention they are a company that is performance driven or a place where you can make an impact.
You want to be one of many random swe who can hide among his peers and you want to be able to make tons of meetings and red tape responsible for your slow progress.
Government, insurances, banks, big-corpo-bodyleasing consulting (like accenture, NOT „high pressure boutique consulting“). Body lease consulting is ideal, you can regularly leave behind the mess you caused and move on.
