*Permanently Deleted*
  • Then it's a problem of the platform, if there's no way to either tag content on a particular topic, which people can filter if they wish, or a place for meta discussions, which people can choose not to visit. I still agree with the OP that simply deleting/forbidding this content isn't a good option.

  • *Permanently Deleted*
  • That's a bit like saying "I'm not interested in compiler warnings, my program works for me." The issues this article discusses are like compiler warnings, but for the community. You should be free to ignore them, just by scrolling past. But forbidding compiler warnings would not fly in any respectable project.

  • 8 Months and Counting: The (harsh) reality of building a product from scratch.
  • GitHub Desktop works well for me and my workflow; even though the Linux version is only supported by the community (possible thanks to it being open source). The UI is very neat and simple. Yet you can do squash, reorder commits, ammend, commit hunks etc. Dark theme available of course! It integrates with GitHub (for PRs mostly) but afaik isn't tied to GitHub repos.

  • Help identifying job title
  • I second this. I lead a team of engineers, and to us the main dividing line between senior and not senior is if you're able to take on a project and lead it autonomously. I.e., you've gone past the stage where all you do is take on the next ticket in your task tracker; you have an awareness and understanding of the bigger picture, which allows you to create tickets on your own and select the most appropriate thing to work on next. The lead (me) is still there to help prioritize, fetch requirements, unblock things, etc, but it's fairly light touch management.

    (Edit: my job title is Principal Software Engineer)

  • structs with designated initializers as named function parameters
  • I'm sure you can come up with some utility class required (templated with T, Lemmy won't let me) that isn't default constructible but can be implicitly constructed from a T, then use this instead of type T in the struct definition.

  • The Fall of Stack Overflow
  • There's no specific AI detection at the moment, as far as I can tell. But it has "listicle" detection. If you ask "best lawn mower", all these "the 5 best lawn mowers of 2023" websites with affiliated Amazon links get pooled into a compact Listicle section, that you can just scroll past and ignore.

  • The Fall of Stack Overflow
  • That's crazy. Google/DDG bloat from SEO websites had already driven me out a while ago, so I hadn't noticed. I've been using Kagi for a few months now, and I find I can trust my search results again. Being able to permanently downgrade or even block a given website is an awesome feature, I would recommend it just for that.
