  • I’ve a slight manageable case of ADHD and I tend to obsessively hyperfocus on tasks. It’s a good relationship because I get a lot of shit done well, and enjoy my work.

    If you start forcing me to plan out my day every day, down to 15 minute increments, my productivity drops by around 60%, because I stop concentrating on getting shit done, and start working to rule. Not because I’m vindictive, but because that’s what you asked me to do.





  • MongoDB is huge though for all the wrong reasons, businesses think that just because it’s JS, they can just have frontend devs - sorry, they are “fullstack” now - doing DBA work.

    I worked as one of two NoSQL DBAs for a Fortune 50 finance company, and there is a ton of CV-driven development going on giving NoSQL a bad name. Most use cases don’t need NoSQL. And for those which do, NoSQL is almost always harder to implement than simple SQL based RDBMSs.



  • I would guess it uses some NN model for collision avoidance or something. I would argue basic automation is not AI, because if it was, Turing’s Enigma breaker would have been AI as well as every computer program ever written.

    AI has always been a marketing term, I’ve seen top researchers struggle to define it. And that’s alright, but it has to be hammered home that any article vaguely mentioning AI might just say “computers” instead.

    Maybe one definition I can stand behind is “a computer program made to probabilistically replicate expected outputs by regression using known but not necessarily labeled examples”.
