  • I wish I had tools good enough that I didn’t feel the need to use AI, but sadly documentation for AWS and some terraform issues is traaaaaaaaaash, so I mainly use it to generate some use cases and examples that the docs failed to provide. Some of those examples are wrong on further inspection of the docs (return types mispached and so on), but I do the critical thinking of checking the docs before and after and then coding my own stuff.

    I also studied deep convolutional neural networks in school so I know what it is, a tool. Kinda impressive that it is able to do all that solely on the optimisation of the next word in their sentence though.








  • I’m a data engineer, which means I write code that manages data aka databases. RN I’m mostly working with python, pyspark, managing data transformations from different providers. I’m also managing the deployment and execution of such pipelines via terraform.

    I don’t copy much code, if at all. I do search plenty examples online but then I write my own. I’m at the point where I could adapt myself into almost any language in a week though, they are very similar.

    If you want to go into coding focus on understanding the functionality of the code, what it is actually doing and why is it done like it is, that should give you a lot of flexibility when changing frameworks or languages. A lot of stuff is super similar across the board.

    About your question, “a full stack Dev with sufficient sql and python” is probably a front-end Dev that does JavaScript and CSS, with some front framework like react or Vue, which will have to create the code of the webpages, build components… They also mention sufficient SQL and python, which implies that the backend is done in python and that they have some database. Probably Django or flask. In the backend you create business logic, stuff like “get me the list of users”, things the front-end asks the backend. For some queries the backend will also ask info to a database, and it will have a SQL client where it will have sql code to query stuff.

    Hope this helps.


  • In my country we have an phone number based instant money transfer protocol called Bizum, everyone uses it. When you go out eating, one pays with your phone via NFC then everyone bizums the payer with their part. It’s something I use almost every time I go out.

    Bizum is a protocol that’s implemented in the app of the banks themselves, so I kinda do need the app, I’m not going to go into the phone browser to go into the app web to do a transfer of 14.5€ that will then shocker ask me to verify the transfer via the app. Even if the verification was a SMS nonce code that would be incredibly annoying compared to what we already have.

    So yeah, people are hung up on banking apps because they kinda do need them with them.
