There are many trainfuls of people who still write code using traditional syntax-based IDE completion.

If they want to continue that practice that's fine but they will quickly find that it severely limits their options for participating in the software industry.

If you've all been reduced to vibe coding and hoping for the best I'd suggest that you aren't really participating in the software industry either mate.

Why not?

Making code is not synonymous with making software.

I'm pretty sure it is actually.

agree, it really is, saying otherwise is like someone who indirectly edited an xml layout with a visual tool thinks they are writing software...

I think this comment got attached to the wrong article somehow. Not relevant here but probably relevant to "Enough with the AI FOMO, go slow-mo, says Domo CDO"[0]

Facepalm. Thank you.

This is partly due to having a safety factor: i.e. using twice as much steel as you think you need.

Understanding means knowing the limits of your own understanding, and building in safeguards.

General Motors contributed significantly to the decline of passenger rail in the USA.

Linux is a global project, and open source more broadly is also of course global.

Linux Mint (the distro I use) was started and is led by French developer Clement Lefebvre.

QEMU and FFmpeg are among the notable projects started by French developer Fabrice Bellard.

VLC was started by students of École Centrale Paris.

These are just the things that I know about as an American, so I'm sure there are more.

Driver support seems to me like it could be an advantage over Linux.

Does anyone here know the current state of installing a browser on ReactOS?

I think it has WINEs browser which is webkit based

Wine's recreation of MSHTML is based on Gecko from Firefox

It kind of makes sense for it to be a partnership with Back Market, which also sells used hardware.

That way, the ChromeOS USB key can be an add on to the purchase of some old laptop that can barely run Windows anymore.

Lenovo does have a history with installing a very obvious spyware rootkit on their consumer PCs[0].

> people who have never used the product and don't think like or accurately represent our users

I agree completely that these are the important qualifications to be setting direction for a product.

> Find your most socially competent engineer, and have them talk to users a couple times a month.

This doesn't necessarily follow from the above, but in Anthropic's case specifically, where the users are software engineers, it probably would have worked better than whatever they have going on now.

In general, it's probably better to have domain experts doing product management, as opposed to someone who is trained in product management.
