Obviously they should be using Microsoft Access (this is a joke).

They generally mean to use a separate database application, that runs on a server. This will have access controls, multi user access and depending on the database, an enforced schema.

SQL is a query language that is generally used for relational databases. There are also a lot of databases that don't use sql, for various reasons. A relational database and SQL is a good place to start learning about databases though. Postgres is a really common one these days.

As far as using a database, you'd need to set up a database - you can find guides as to how to do this locally. You can then run queries against it using the command line or an application like pgAdmin. You could also make a program that utilizes it.

I keep seeing it over and over again. Anyone that actually has to deal with coworkers using this bullshit that isn't also in the cult is going to recognize it.

If I had a nickle for every singl yada yada yada

Sure, there have always been better and worse developers. LLMs are making developers that used to be better, worse.

Unfortunately a lot of people are trying to outsource code review to LLMs as well. Also, LLM generated code is more likely to have subtle errors that a human would be very unlikely to make in otherwise mundane code. Errors that are easy to gloss over if you don't take a magnifying glass to it. My current least favorite thing is LLM generated unit tests that don't actually test what they say they do.

Just fyi you can uninstall them without root, though it's slightly technical https://www.xda-developers.com/uninstall-carrier-oem-bloatware-without-root-access/

I read it. Saves a lot of time in the long run

I'd generally rather be using something else, but in the grand scheme typescript is pretty nice and I prefer it over some other common langs like python.

Anytime I've ever complained about lootboxes/gacha/gambling mechanics, I've not been excluding valve. That said, there is a contingent of people that likes to chime in to conversations about steam to say people shouldn't use steam because valve does lootboxes, and I don't think it's terribly relevant in those conversations.

I mean yeah I'll take higher quality. I'd just rather have less lossy compression than higher resolution

Yeah I'd way rather have higher bitrate 1080 than 4k. Seeing striping in big dark or light spots on the screen is infuriating

Obvious answer is to be more like a normal book
