The programmer, like the poet, works only slightly removed from pure thought-stuff. He builds his castles in the air, from air, creating by exertion of the imagination. Few media of creation are so flexible, so easy to polish and rework, so readily capable of realizing grand conceptual structures.

— Frederick P. Brooks

#Programmers that think #AI is #magic or is impossible to know how the AI works are the same that say that #maths are unnecessary to create software. At the end of the day AI is a kind of algorithm and algorithm is maths, the different is that AI uses complex maths so that's the reason some people thinks AI is magic. Also I know that the CEO of Antropic have said that AI could be an entity or they don't know how AI works. Of course this is marketing, they want to get money They have business.

A happy programmer is a productive programmer. That's why we optimize for happiness and you should too. Don't just pick tools and practices based on industry standards or performance metrics. Look at the intangibles: Is there passion, pride, and craftmanship here? Would you truly be happy working in this environment eight hours a day?

A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.

Continued thread

The problem that needs to be solved is that systems of #accountability and appellate process need to be baked into the code of social communications applications, but it seems that computer #programmers do not understand why these features are essential for responsible operations.

Unfortunately, the attitude of #FOSS #developers seems to be, "If you don't like it, code it yourself." This is not how advanced societies function or come about. Specialization and division of labor are important.

Hello everyone 👋!

My team at Meta is currently evaluating some cool ideas to work with creators. I can't say much right now, but it looks to be a very exciting opportunity.

If you're a game studio or solo dev with successful titles for mobile, MR/VR, or UGC-type platforms such as Roblox, Fortnite, Horizon Worlds, Rec Room, Spatial, etc., then feel free to comment below and say hi!

💡Also, send me an email if you can (my email is on my YouTube channel about section), I'd love to work with you!

#meta#devs#design

As a #programmer but #beginner I already know that documentation is important: that's why I'll make a website to document my adventures and potential progress.
If you have any resources that you think could help me, do not hesitate a second!
If you have any tools to advise, do not hesitate a second!
I'm considering using :fedora: #fedora #Kinoite with #toolbx or something like #RockyLinux (but if you have other distros to advise, tell me) with :kdevelop: #kdevelop #codelite for C++, #spyder or #pycharm for Python 🐍 and #rustrover or #lapce for Rust 🦀 and :kate: #kateeditor for simple file edition.
