Earlier course of boot.dev were, in my opinion, great.
But later courses are underdeveloped. Undercooked. Needs tons of work.
I used my first "baked salmon" (item that allows talking to their LLM backed educator bot), at level 65, to argue with their chatbot about the fact it marked my answer wrong due to missing requirements in the assignment. It stated some assignments may be vague and this is intentional.
This is after completing the Docker course, which I felt was not only incomplete, but made some assumptions of the student it really shouldn't.
Look, in a professional setting, this can happen. And the correct response is to request clarification of requirements. Seriously, I've been doing this for decades, this problem is not new to me.
But in an educational setting, this is, absolutely, NOT ACCEPTABLE.
So... more advanced course in boot.dev really need work.
I'm watching a couple folks progress through the earlier courses and helping one of them along with figuring things out, so I can see where a year of subscription can benefit some folks. But I, simply, cannot see getting a year of benefit for myself at this point, due to the undercooked advanced content.
Is boot.dev good? Maybe for a beginner.
Is boot.dev good for someone looking to boost their skills? at the moment... No. It's an exercise in frustration.
New 📚 Release! CI/CD Anti-Patterns: Lessons from Real-World CI/CD Failures by Zhimin Zhan
CI/CD is everywhere in modern software engineering—but most teams still struggle to make it deliver real results. CI/CD: Anti-Patterns exposes 62 common pitfalls and shows how to turn slow, error-prone pipelines into fast, reliable delivery loops that actually work.

I may regret this at some point, but I felt the need to put down in writing how I feel about this moment in the tech industry.
It is not kind. You may well be insulted by it. If you are... then you really should question yourself.
I have made fire! 🔥🔥🔥
I hope my ancestors would be proud

I haven't posted much with the #programming or #Python hashtags lately. I need to do something about that.

Bài viết “Semantic Compression” chỉ ra vì sao việc mô hình hoá thế giới thực bằng lớp trong OOP thường thất bại. Tác giả dùng ví dụ C++ trong trình chỉnh sửa The Witness, cho rằng viết code cụ thể rồi rút ra các phần chung sẽ sạch hơn so với thiết kế hierarchy trước. #Programming #OOP #C++ #SoftwareEngineering #LậpTrình #PhầnMềm #KỹThuật

ANSI #commonLisp Improving my condition !
https://screwlisp.small-web.org/conditions/improving-my-condition/
I finally modify my condition handling per @kentpitman's notes on the Tuesday-night-in-the-Americas lispy gopher climate podcast last week (links in the article or currently pinned onto this mastodon).
The gist is to specify the condition the restart is being found for, since if more than one condition is signalled (error happens?) the different conditions will have different restart points.

the webpage "hello interview" has free content on how to succeed in a system design interview (typical for getting a senior software engineer position). it teaches you how to design backend server systems. incidentally, it also describes how to do system design in an interview (pacing, level of detail, what to talk about and in what order). good free content, however you want to use it. been doing this stuff for years and i'm learning some things.

TIL about the leave command
People with #electronic and #programming experience… a friend (professional musician) and I were chatting and we had an idea for affordable good hearing aids (we both have hearing loss): in-ears are relatively waterproof. They have to work with sweat dripping, being in the rain, etc. things that you are not supposed to have hearing aids near. They are also much cheaper than hearing aids. Yet, essentially, in many ways “the same” - you set what you want to hear live fed to you and mix it how you want. Hearing aids you just want to hear everything and can tune down background noise and increase certain ranges of sound to mix so you hear it right.
It seems like in-ears should be able to - in theory - function as a much more world-proof hearing aid. That would put the individual in control.
Is this possible to become a thing? Fediverse seems to be a place to have the right overlap of #foss and #tech folk for someone to have a go at this…?
Python: access restricted, rely on C library programmers
On Thursday I got a call from a local company I sent my updated CV to 2 weeks ago.
Anyway, I got a call from them, essentially a mini interview. They wanted to interview me, they asked to send a cover letter over. They sent me the job spec.
Aligns with my skills well, except: there's A LOT of leadership. Managing and being responsible for an entire team on delivering projects from start to finish. I dont even know 2 of the frameworks they use.
Should I pass it up? #programming 1/
