Connectivité plus rapide ne veut pas dire meilleure expérience sur le web

En effet, la performance des CPU pour faire tourner les web apps n'a pas progressée aussi rapidement que celle de la bande passante

On se retrouve avec de + en + de site qui ne sont plus accessibles pour les appareils lents alors que nous n'avons jamais été aussi bien connecté !

Are you worried that your markup isn't "modern" enough and the other 10x developers will make fun of you? Use modernMarkupify()!

Whatsapp vs Signal, quel est le problème :

Introducing usernames and phone number privacy on Signal!

We’re making it possible for people to connect with each other without having to share phone numbers. Now launching to beta users, available for everyone soon.

Timeline of a project:

1. Yes, I can absolutely do that 5 months from now.
2. I should get started soon.
3. I should *really* get started soon.
4. OMG! OK. Getting started.
5. I will never make this deadline.
6. I must change my name and start a new life in Genovia.
7. Work, work, work, work, work
8. I might actually make it.
9. That was easy!

Repeat.

(I am currently at Stage 8.)

Study finds that Github Copilot lowers code quality and maintainability:

"We find disconcerting trends for maintainability. Code churn -- the percentage of lines that are reverted or updated less than two weeks after being authored -- is projected to double in 2024 compared to its 2021, pre-AI baseline. We further find that the percentage of 'added code' and 'copy/pasted code' is increasing in proportion to 'updated,' 'deleted,' and 'moved 'code. In this regard, AI-generated code resembles an itinerant contributor, prone to violate the DRY-ness [don't repeat yourself] of the repos visited."

The paper concludes: "How will Copilot transform what it means to be a developer? There's no question that, as AI has surged in popularity, we have entered an era where code lines are being added faster than ever before. The better question for 2024: who's on the hook to clean up the mess afterward?"
