  • I work as a developer for a smaller (~50 people) tech company and most devs use AI on a daily basis, but everyone is free to choose what, how and how much (until our tokens run out 😬, but we do have a decent budget).

    We find we have to learn how to use this new, powerful (and sometimes also very annoying) tool properly. PR have been sent for review without properly being checked by the “author”, bosses have raves about AI but also reality checked when they saw the bills they have to pay and we will probably make more mistakes as well as productivity boosts in the future. We will see where this all ends up.

    For now I just enjoy having this companion when I need it to guide me through new fields I would have not dared to tread before, which is fun. Worst case I’ll be building houses instead of web applications in a few years. Working outside instead of in a stuffy office. Could be worse.
















  • Yeah so this wasn’t easy for the Netherlands either. They just started trying earlier, so they had more time to fail and try again. This would maybe not fly anymore in a newly designed street in the NLs now, but it sure as heck looks a lot like some older roads in the Hague that are still waiting on their update to the new guidelines.

    So well done guys, you are def. going in the right direction with this 🙏.

    The only thing you could maybe argue is why they are not just asking for a bit of help from a Dutch road designer during the design process. I mean, the knowledge is all there already, why not use it? 😉
