obrhoffFor the DB gurus: Is it wise to model a playlist in a SQLite database as a linked list? I don’t want to have to mutate all entries when, for example, I just want to change the order of items.But I also feel that recursively fetching the items to follow the list could impact performance for playlists with a lot of items. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/sqlite" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sqlite</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/softwaredevelopment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#softwaredevelopment</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/softwareengineering" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#softwareengineering</a>

Dave RahardjaRecently got added to a cross-functional group. I asked for orientation, onboarding instructions, and quick-start documentation for the tools we’re using and the answer I got was “I’m not going to link you to docs, just ask me if you have any questions.”WORST. ANSWER. EVER.Anyway, I found the docs myself, and wrote onboarding instructions for whoever joins after me.Onboarding and quick-start documents are essential, unless you want to consume a big chunk of time from every new team member before they get productive.<a href="https://sfba.social/tags/softwareEngineering" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#softwareEngineering</a>

Dave RahardjaI’m treading carefully of course, but it’s worth separating the artisan’s view of coding AI from the capitalist’s. The former wants to automate rote work so they can express themselves to realize their vision more quickly; the latter wants to *eliminate* artisans altogether so they can make money faster by extruding finished products directly from a machine. The latter’s greed does not invalidate the former’s desire to lighten their load.By the way, pure “vibe coders” belong to the latter group: they are not interested in making *good* products, but only *profitable* products.<a href="https://sfba.social/tags/softwareEngineering" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#softwareEngineering</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/coding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#coding</a>

Dave RahardjaI feel that I owe it to myself to integrate coding AI more into my workflow, much like I would integrate a 3D printer into my artisanal workshop. As Emily Bender framed it so succinctly: <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AI</a> is automation. As long as I’m automating the rote, high-labor-low-value parts of my craft, it should be a welcome addition.More difficult for me is the foundation of these models, which remains based on the large-scale “theft” of the written corpus on the Internet. But here again, the application to *coding* feels different: I’m not using the model to regurgitate (i.e. plagiarize) human writing; I’m using it to understand *documentation* so the model can extrude *code snippets* and perform *code transformation*, both of which are a few steps removed from pure plagiarism. That feels more acceptable to me somehow.<a href="https://sfba.social/tags/softwareEngineering" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#softwareEngineering</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/coding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#coding</a>

Dave RahardjaI’m feeling torn about the use of <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AI</a> in coding, especially now that models (especially “reasoning” models) are getting good enough that they can churn out “close-enough” code for a lot of uses. Products like Claude seem to be doing an OK job in rote tasks like churning out code scaffolding, implementing standard patterns, and refactoring; as well as doing the reverse: summarizing and explaining code, and giving examples.Unlike chatbots and image/video generators whose primary output are various forms of harmful bullshit, I can’t reject coding AI the same way I can those other applications. The result of coding AI are *functional* and are in fact code that I would otherwise have written myself in much the same way. It may be because computer code is much more restrictive than human language that this is possible, because the room for *plausible* bullshit is so much less.<a href="https://sfba.social/tags/softwareEngineering" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#softwareEngineering</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/coding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#coding</a>
