I'll buy that as a possible separator as well. For what it is worth, I prefer to code with "Claude Code". I use chatGPT (the web interface) when asking casual non-coding questions.
Start as a regular engineer – be good at it, people will give you more responsibility, be good at it – soon you will be a product engineer, and be an all singing, all dancing, one girl band.
People who grew up with assembly language or locking primitives are fairly likely to use compare-and-swap because it's literally the commonly understood term for it.
TIL, thanks for the context. What I was getting at still stands, LLM's seem to love a lot of words-with-hyphens which might be grammatically correct, but I've never seen a human actually type.
I thought this was common knowledge? In my bio class ~20 years ago, people swabbed parts of the bathroom to see how far from the toilet you still found e. coli etc.
And while this suggests it wasn't consistent, have always closed the lid / left the room since.
I'm so happy I stopped caring about new phones about five years ago, since then I've spent about $200 on phones – for a used pixel 8 that I installed GrapheneOS on.
Only 5 years ago? I feel like they stopped getting interesting and started getting increasingly worse like 5 years in. I'm still pissed off about the headphone jack.
5s/SE1 is still peak iPhone for me. I pull that thing out of the drawer every now and then and just marvel and the size and weight and how it is barely noticeable in my pocket even compared to my (ginormous in comparison) SE2.
When someone says cloudflare is too good / cheap to be true... maybe think about it.
They have shareholders, who wouldn't allow them to provide value for free, its just not obvious to you how they are extracting that value. Maybe its by capturing a huge % of unencrypted https traffic because if you let them do your certs it means they can read all your real traffic.
There are lots of companies that provide low end services for free to attract people who may now or in the future be decision makers at large companies.
For better or worse, the free plan that Cloudflare has provided me for 10 years for my 20-30 hobby/personal domains has gotten them several hundred thousand dollars in business.

If it is "not obvious to you how they extract the value", you can just look for NET (their ticker) earning reports and SEC fillings since they are a publicly traded company instead of spreading conspiracy theories...
