Yea this is some BS... gnome doesn't need any help to burn their own reputation to the ground, this is just a hitpiece by yet another one of their out of touch high and mighty contributors.

lol, lmao even

What I've seen lead to success:

• Arrogance
• Overconfidence
• Schmoozing with the right people
• Doing flashy work, whatever that means in a given situation

What I have seen lead to failure or, at best, being undervalued and ignored:

• Caring about teammates and your future self
• Caring about the end user and the business itself, when it conflicts with something sales, marketing, or a PM want
• Creating resilient, well-engineered systems

It's the same problem as anywhere else. Well-crafted systems are invisible and taken for granted. Saving the day by putting out a fire is applauded, even when you're the one who laid out the kindling and matches. Managers at all levels care about their own ego more than the company, product, or team.

Maybe I just spent too much time with ex-Microsoft hacks.

Sorry but I have no idea what you're talking about... and I wasn't referring to any specific company

I just want them to stop acting like egotistical know-it-all jerks all the time. They love to speak in black-and-white absolutes and IMO it just shows how much they really don't know.

I think Dunning-Kruger also applies to smart people... you don't stop when you are estimating your ability correctly. As you learn more, you gain more awareness of your ignorance and continue being conservative with your self estimates.

Still no full-duplex?

I find it surprising that JSON is so omnipresent when there are far more efficient alternatives

Do you also find it surprising that different types of food exist? /s

it's giving me GIMPshop flashbacks

It is best to assume that any private US company is compromised in this way

I would say that's ridiculous for most people, but I guess it entirely depends on your threat model... if you're legitimately worried about state-level boogeymen, you've probably got bigger problems and already know all of this.

So then it's not really a blanket "no-AI" rule if it can't be enforceable if it's good enough? I suppose the rule should have been "no obviously bad AI" or some other equally subjective thing?

I have tried learning Qt but the documentation was awful

I found the Qt documentation to be quite excellent, with tons of examples and a huge community.

But for C I typically use nuklear. There's also microui.
