Programming is how we “talk” to robots. We give them instructions so they know when to move, stop, or avoid obstacles. Coding = the robot’s brainpower! #Coding #Robotics #NoireSTEMinist #BlackSTEM #WomenSTEM #BlackWomenSTEM #MySTEMIsForTheStreets

You’ve probably seen `use function strlen` in PHP and shrugged.
But here’s the twist: in certain cases, it activates a special compiler optimization in PHP that makes some functions significantly faster.
This is your eureka moment! Here’s how it works, when it matters, and how to adopt it easily: https://tideways.com/profiler/blog/compiler-optimized-php-functions?utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=compiler-optimized-php-functions

WILL NOT COMPLY If my kid were about to go to college and thinking about a #career in #coding, I'd try to talk them into choosing a more promising profession. Like music. Or English. Or pottery. Because, while there will always be a need for expert coders, the demand for that skillset is about to plummet.
The rest, well. . . like John Henry, they may die with a hammer in their hand, Lord, Lord / Die with a hammer in their hand. (Google it, kids)
Many times in my career I've wondered if I should ever have accepted that first promotion to management. Back in ye olde times, I was a #systemsadministrator and a #programmer. Occasionally I am nostalgic for the deep feeling of flow that accompanies working on a problem or #coding.
Today is not one of those days.
For the past couple of days I've been playing with #replit, an application that builds working web apps from your natural language description of features and functions.
Its performance is nothing less than stunning. It's not that it turns out better code than a human would, but rather that it turns out solid, working code faster than previously imaginable.
Beyond that, it is incredibly intuitive about what it is I'm trying to do. The implementation suggests future enhancements, all of which (so far, at least) have been on point.

Welcome to the hipster's 3D #geometry #playground where every author name sounds like a failed band from the '90s 
and "geoscript" is the latest way to say "look mom, I can code!". 
Expect more #buzzwords than actual features, but hey, it's #open source!

Hello! I am interested in hearing from anyone who has (un)successfully made use of genAI in any shape or form specifically when teaching programming. I'm thinking specifically university at undergraduate level but happy to hear about any teaching related activities at any level.
Specifically what did you do? What were the challenges and opportunities? Could you have done the same without genAI?

In Antitrust (2001), Ryan Phillippe plays a young programmer who joins a flashy tech startup, only to uncover dark corporate secrets. Tim Robbins is the ruthless exec pulling the strings, immersed in a world of glowing CRT monitors, endless lines of code, and CD-ROM fueled innovation.

Just worked with #RooCode and
1. Solved a Python circular dependency problem
2. Moved 5 dirs of code to another place
3. Generated all __init__.py for all the modules and packages
4. Updated all code and ran all tests
At the end, I just typed: “revise docs”!
I AM THE IRON MAN!
If you take the stance that technical debt is code nobody understands, then current LLM-based code generators are technical debt generators until somebody reads and understands their output.
If you take the stance that writing is thinking--that writing is among other things a process by which we order our thoughts--then understanding code generator output will require substantial rewriting of the code by whomever is tasked with converting it from technical debt to technical asset.

was poking around #python widgets code looking for a #trello -ish program I could run from my desktop... could not find any so I figured maybe #coding #fediverse has some ideas? Maybe I should just build one, lol 
Just found OpenCode as an alternative to Claude Code
Unlike other AI coding tools, it's:
100% open source Provider-agnostic (works with Claude, GPT, local models) Built by terminal enthusiasts for terminal lovers Client/server architecture for flexibility
Perfect for developers who want full control over their AI coding workflow.
Check it out: https://opencode.ai
GitHub: https://github.com/sst/opencode
Install: `curl -fsSL https://opencode.ai/install | bash`

@pouyllau #Perl (we don't add the 5 anymore since Perl 6 became #RakuLang) has definitely changed since 1999, but has thankfully retained a lot of backward compatibility.
