The test might actually be okay! But it shows they're trying to recruit from the incompatible talent pool.
From a squirrel:
"We interview devs by giving them a task to climb a tree. What is surprising: 14/15 rabbits failed this screening."
OpenStreetMap Crash Course
Održat će se u Srijedu 05.11. u 19h na:
www.twitch.tv/turing_compl...
Sadržaj:
- uvod u OSM, kratka prezentacija s primjerima
- primjer rješavanja konkretnih zadataka
Trajanje cca 1h. Svi su dobrodošli naučiti malo o mapiranju.
bezdomni.net/osm-crash-co...
Evo ako je itko zainteresiran malo poslušati o otvorenim kartama, pripremit ću kratko predavanje i demo cca 1h, idući tjedan jednu večer. Napravio sam poll pa se upišite kad možete. Svi dobrodošli, ne morate nužno išta raditi kasnije. :)

Column B has checkmark boxes for whether the planets have rings: the outer planets’ boxes are checked, and Earth has a red check. [Earth with a ring with an array pf points around it. An arrow labeled “Geostationary Satellite Bel”t points to the ring.] [caption] Astronomy fact: A century ago, Earth didn’t have rings, but we have one now! It’s where all the satellite dishes are pointed.

... I'll see myself out
Succintly put: "AI is writing 90% of the code [...] At the same time, AI doesn't own the code, [I] carry the responsibility for how it runs in production."
As an aside, happy to see I'm not the only maniac using AI to write raw SQL where I used to use ORM: github.com/senko/cijene...

That's not programming, that's specification (and only applicable if you know the exact shade you want):
If you say "buy 1L of milk", you're not doing math, you're talking English. Same if you say "make the background 7DB097".
That's still English, as opposed to:
div.mydiv { background: #7DB097 }
Next, people are going to call buying used books "stealing" because the authors get no money at all from the secondary sales.
I better sell a few of mine that I don't like enough to keep forever, before it gets outlawed as "piracy".
Evo, i FINA može poslužiti, ako za ništa drugo, kao loš primjer.

They contain a ton of code, especially if Claude also generates tests for them. And no one's job is getting replaced by them, nor do they devalue proper software development.
30.08.2025 13:20 — 👍 3 🔁 1 💬 0 📌 0When you use coding agents for something that produces the bulk of the code of an application that will be used for years, also factor in the technical debt that you are happily accumulating. When you use LLMs an an aid, you could, on the contrary, improve your coding culture.

> The core issue? Not the quality of the AI models, but the “learning gap” for both tools and organizations. While executives often blame regulation or model performance, MIT’s research points to flawed enterprise integration.
Clearly, they are prompting it wrong.

And it will all be @simonwillison.net 's fault.
Finally recorded something outside of the "studio" 😅 For this occasion I fittingly reached back to a 90s trip-hop classic by Morcheeba. Enjoy 🌊⛵🌞😎

08.08.2025 20:17 — 👍 26 🔁 2 💬 0 📌 2The issue of sky-high expectations from GPT-5 (as highlighted by @filippo.abyssdomain.expert) is that OpenAI have been terrible at managing expectations.
If you hype up "AGI achieved internally" and "PhD-level intelligence", users WILL expect miracles.
Compare with Anthropic or Chinese labs comms.
