  • Live coding interviews measure stress, not coding skils

  • Stress is not something you can reason about in the way you imply. It's an emotional response, and people vary wildly in how they will react. It's great to hear you don't get stressed, but judging people who do is, well, concerning.

    Live coding in interviews is a completely different experience to pair programming, night and day. I don't ever recall being asked to code in front of a group.

  • The article isn't saying don't check, it's saying that live coding interviews are a bad measure.

  • You seem to be disagreeing with something that isn't the main point of the article.

    That you take those steps doesn't mean candidates aren't stressed, despite your intentions.

  • I understand where you're coming from, but I don't agree it's about semantics; it's about devaluation of communication. LLMs and their makers threaten that in multiple ways. Thinking of it as "lying" is one of them.

    AI is killing the web. Can anything save it?

    Jump

  • as I understand it, you're saying the web was attacked by SEO, and that sounds entirely correct, but I don't follow how that means AI isn't also killing the web.

    tbh I don't have the energy to contribute meaningfully to this conversation so I'll stop before I say something silly

  • Arch Linux limitations?

    Jump

  • I'm not sure I can think of an example beyond lack of software/driver support

    General difficulty of use (i.e. how many things do I have to read and do for something to happen the way I want)

    And I want libraries to be officially supported, whatever that looks like, mainly so I don't have to use workarounds or unverified sources (I don't want to be using lots of Arch's equivalent of PPAs, for example)

  • it would be nice if you're right. I don't know enough to comment. But I don't have confidence in market forces, for very good reason. My concern is that bad will be replaced by worse

  • why do you say it's not killing the web? How many people are on lemmy because of the enshitiffication of privately owned social media?

    Jump

  • I don't understand your point. How is it good that the developers thought they were faster? Does that imply anything at all in LLMs' favour? IMO that makes the situation worse because we're not only fighting inefficiency, but delusion.

    20% slower is substantial. Imagine the effect on the economy if 20% of all output was discarded (or more accurately, spent using electricity).
