"Reading, understanding, and fixing code written by others consumes 90+% of the time a programmer spends ..."
The complete blog post is somewhat on the long side, but the key point it makes is worth repeating, often, as it has been demonstrably true since the 1950s and is highly likely to be true for the next 70 years.
It's so weird. The most part of my life I was a Full Stack Web Developer. HTML, CSS, JS, PHP, MySQL and so on. But I was always more happy on the frontend side. Especially CSS.
I work with Laravel for 6 years now and to see how easy and streamlined work can be really pulled me to the backend side.
I'm so hyped when I start the work on something while I'm creating the backend. And then I have to implement the frontend and I just have no motivation anymore.
I hope this is just a phase as I really enjoy to have full control over everything. The thing is: I love to optimize frontend stuff. But I don't really like to create it from scratch anymore.

Any european competiton to OpenAI is welcome , good to see Mistral coming with a new model for programming, Codestral. https://mistral.ai/news/codestral/
The TidyDensity package now includes new functions to calculate the Akaike Information Criterion (AIC) for various distributions, streamlining model quality assessment. Use functions like util_negative_binomial_aic() to automate AIC calculations, ensuring precise model evaluation.
To be completely fair, thread safety and atomics are advanced topics.
Several humans I have interviewed for engineering positions would also have a lot of trouble answering these questions. I couldn't write this code on a whiteboard without looking at the Rust library docs.
The main problem here is that the model is making up poor excuses to justify Arc<AtomicUsize>, showing poor reasoning skills.
Larger models like #GPT4 should do better with my #Rust#coding questions (haven't tried yet).
