This isn't a conversation about the guts of query planners but postgres is known for what can only be described as gremlins in the query planner. But that is not the same thing as being non deterministic.
I checked their site and it looks like a write-up hasnt appeared yet. They did a good one for their GPU black market story so hopefully they didnt just forget :)
> we hire Juniors to help fill the talent pool with the hope that they will be productive in a few months
The sad reality for smaller companies is that we cannot compete salary-wise, which means training juniors that will leave the minute they become productive
But mostly the issue is with the market, there are only so many things you need a junior to do in a body shop that is getting squeezed
Other companies are also cash constrained and need to pivot fast to "AI"-something, which juniors wont really help with on the short-term
FWIW, your pessimism isn't entirely well-founded. If you're in a hot, tech-centric market, then yes, staff will be far more inclined to job hop for comp increases. But if you're hiring remote or you're located outside one of the very few tech hubs, employees value quality of life and workplace culture/relationships much more highly relative to comp. E.g. If you're hiring a SWE in Nashville or Portland or Columbus they're going to behave differently than if you're hiring in the Bay Area, Seattle area, NYC, Boston or Austin.
I think those sorts of priorities come later. I've never known a junior engineer that prioritized anything much beyond "holly shit, someone finally gave me a job, and I'm making money!". Then, with something on their resume, they realize how they're currently being taken advantage of, and hop to a significant pay increase.
Depends on the field I guess. Some smaller companies I've seen have dramatically lower leadership costs, so ICs get more of the share of the gross revenue. Even with perhaps a discount to clients for choosing a small business, they can still come out on top
An employee just got phished by adding a number to a legitimate deviceAdd login route that bypasses 2FA and adds a device with full access to office and mail
Sounds like one of ADOs recent security misconfiguration vulnerability announcements. The customer is blamed, for not quite hardening everything the right way, when ADO config is... A sizeable task.
1. Pick the most complete project boilerplate (fullstack JS can easily introduce security bugs, SPA + API is best as cheap linting solves most problems)
2. Project skills (how to CRUD without mess)
3. Use worktrees for concurrent features, local session for conflicts
4. Local session for QA and refinement
I use Copilot and GPT 5.4
Managed to shorten pre-AI priced ongoing projects to 2 weeks or a month
Query planner feels pretty LLM-esque already
