Doesn't 'do not do' list in form of a 100 page pamphlet avoid this? I knew that US notoriously has warnings on everything simple like 'Hot cup might burn' but I assumed that's always to avoid liability, can't the same be applied here?
He didn't say you can't use Linux or MacOS, he said there's still a culture of being Windows and Microsoft only across .NET shops. As an ex .NET dev I can confirm, the community is quite close minded, language is awesome.
I also had that issue happen to me, surprisingly only when I used Polish, not English. But other than that I actually like Gemini, I check stuff against it all the time, especially when walking my dog. It also works in AndroidAuto for me, but I use very basic stuff like changing Spotify music. I was on iOS before and there's no comparison to old Siri that was just garbage. I use Gemini practically every day, it's fine for the most part IMO. They really do need to polish integrations though, app connectors barely every work outside of Google's own apps. Using Oppo's app Mind Place through Gemini f.e. is just bad experience and almost never works. For example, I had pleasant experience of Gemini finding me places for a walk/hike on vacation in Tirol, where I specifically required not too much of an ascent and an asphalt road for a stroller.
We use CC with Fable(Opus before that) continuously on a rather large project, everything is tested, we maintain high verified test coverage, we ship features x10 faster than when we started(pre Claude-everything era 2-3 years ago). I never worked with RN before and I ship features now. LLMs allowed us to find issues within RN itself, that thanks to some patches, improved lower end Android experience by a lot. We just use all the Claude defaults with claude.md that evolved over last year.
I was mainly .NET dev in the first 8 years of my career and it's a pretty common thing among .NET shops/corporates. Most .NET devs I worked with seemed to be on average older guys who are stuck in .NET Framework 3.x days. I joined a place that used .NET 5 and one guy was still writing hash code and equal methods for every single data class he made(by hand too). When I asked him why, he said that he didn't know he doesn't have to do that anymore. Those people are mostly alright/mediocre devs who just refuse to keep up with the times, clock in, clock out, don't think too much, just write some more code to make it work. If someone a decade ago started some convoluted architectural pattern, they'll just continue doing it, no thought given as to why or what for, whether things can be done better.
While I have different, but equally annoying issues with Node/Js world I work in now, I don't miss those .NET days.
Older developers in the Node ecosystem still sometimes write callback hells, but it's true that it's less prevalent than in the .NET world.
The problem is that I am the one who has to maintain that code. The reality is that code ultimately follows the prevailing trends and paradigms of its era. Most developers tend to stop growing around their 5th to 7th year (this is purely my observation). They settle into the complacency of having shipped a single complete program, an experience they usually hit around their 4th year. As a result, when you do actual maintenance work, you end up facing things like C++98 code or .NET codebases where the dependency graph is a complete disaster.
Compounding the issue is that these types of companies have very little technical exchange with the outside world. And that specific way of writing code ends up acting as a sort of gatekeeping mechanism.
Sometimes, I feel like programming ultimately boils down to how well you can read and adapt to these shifts in paradigms. The coding trends of today will likely become the outdated legacy of tomorrow, and someone might eventually tell me, "You write old code." It is always a difficult problem.
AliExpress is full of fakes and weird things but what it has going for itself is customer support. They'll return you money pretty much in every single case. They're so pro-consumer you could easily scam sellers out of things you buy really. I disputed multiple things in last 5-8 years and I've always either got a new item or a full refund. I don't order that much from there but if I want to buy something cheap I know is made in China anyway, I'd go for Aliexpress
Same, quite often it will literally forget the thing from last message it sent me. I'd ask about car shops around me, it shows me a bunch of spots from Google Maps, cool. Then I ask 'what are their reviews' and I get hit with 'Reviews of what?'. It's still better in Android Auto than Siri is in Car Play, by a mile but random experiences in the app are very meh.
