  • So far it is mainly an advanced search engine, someone still needs to know what to ask it, interpret the results and correct them. Then there’s the task of fitting it into an existing solution / landscape.

    Then there’s the 50% of non coding tasks you have to perform once you’re no longer a junior. I think it’ll be mainly useful for getting developers with less experience productive faster, but require more oversight from experienced devs.

    At least for the way things are developing at the moment.


  • I haven’t found many dishes I enjoy eating after they’ve been frozen. I end up cooking the same dish again before I’ve finished the frozen ones as it tastes so much better fresh.

    I’ve kept up the habit of prepping for a few months but I gave up as I started ordering in unhealthy food a lot more rather than eating the frozen stuff.













  • It took me quite a few attempts to get into the game, but I’m really enjoying it now. For me it’s the first 3D game I’m properly playing on the xbox so there’s a bit of a learning curve there (I’m used to mouse and keyboard on pc).

    The biggest things that helped me enjoy it: when navigating cities or buildings that are all super maze-like, you can use your scanner to actually guide you in the right direction with little arrows on the ground as pathfinding. I kept getting lost and giving up on quests until I saw this in a video.

    In the beginning I’d spent most of my money every time i was in town to pretty much fully fill my inventory with ammo, lockpicks and med packs. Especially since I’m trying to learn how to aim with a controller I’ll waste a lot of clips missing completely. Just maxing out on ammo makes it a lot easier (and using a shotgun early on, just run at them and blast em point blank, lots of dmg / bullet)

    Looking up how the UI / systems work online… i wanted to do a pure experience, but holy crap is the UI hard to figure out sometimes. Especially things to do with ship building and traveling.

    I’m really liking the random side quests though, and was just wasting away my entire Saturday playing, which hasn’t happened in years for me.




  • For me in the Netherlands. I have one bank account, salary comes in, all bills are paid automatically, some money gets automatically transferred into my savings account.
    Pension gets taken out of my paycheck automatically as well, so not doing anything special for that. In the rare cases I use a credit card, it will automatically be paid off as well, so nothing really to worry about there either.

    I have recently bought my own place, so once savings are back to a safe level I’ll start to make a monthly investment in some index fund.




  • C# is also a loved and brown language. I’ve personally enjoyed working in it the past 9 years and see quite a few ‘legacy’ projects of 10+ years old. These projects do get the occasional refactoring but overall I still see new employees get up to speed with them relatively well.

    It’s nothing amazing but in general pretty pleasant to express yourself in, especially for the more enterprisey projects. I do not really see many people mention it as much in discussion threads though.
