I haven't even finished my first coffee and I almost sprayed it all over my desk over this wonderful LinkedIn take:
"Senior developers don't know more than junior devs, they just retrieve what they know faster"
Buddy. I probably work slower than you. That's not the point.
A senior dev knows that your KPIs are unrealistic, that the company is crumbling within the next two quarters and does not take pizza as bribe.
We've seen all of this before. But do hire an optimistic 22 year old instead.

Fuck I miss listening to the BBC World Service on the tractor during hay season and delivering mail in Central Reykjavik.

@alda@topspicy.social deleting my linkedin was such a pro move It obviously takes me longer to pull shit out of long term brain storage than it takes some skid to write an LLM prompt, but I know what the hell I'm writing and can actually maintain it without crashing out when something needs updating because there's no framework in place to facilitate any form of upkeep "It builds, ship it" is more true now than ever before 😅
