ChatGPT - How Long Till They Realize I’m a Robot?

I tried it first on December 2nd... ...and slowly the meaning of it started to sink in. It's January 1st and as the new year begins, my future has never felt so hazy. It helps me write code. At my new company I'm writing golang, which is new for me, and one day on a whim I think "hmmm maybe ChatGPT will give me some ideas about the library I need to use." Lo-and-behold it knew the library. It wrote example code. It explained each section in just enough detail. I'm excited....It assists my users. I got a question about Dockerfiles in my teams oncall channel. "Hmmm I don't know the answer to this either"....ChatGPT did. It knew the commands to run. It knew details of how it worked. It explained it better and faster than I could have. Now I'm nervous....It writes my code for me. Now I'm hearing how great Github Copilot is - and it's built by OpenAI too...ok I guess I should give it a shot. I install it, and within minutes it'

OAuth works like the above.  What makes it REALLY difficult to do in android is the constraint that you can only make external calls through an async task (a new thread).  One way to do it with Twitter4j is to setup the Twitter object reference, AccessToken and the RequestToken as globals (ew...) and then use 1 private AsyncTask to call twitter to get the request token, then show the authorize url that's returned so the user can go authorize.  Then ask the user for the verifier, and use it to start another asyncTask to get the accesstoken.

Architectural Characteristics - Transcending Requirements

Building a system means meeting a set of requirements dictated by the customer.  But the customer isn't always going to translate what they want into engineering terms.  Even if you say please, they might not even know how.  If they ask for an online ordering system, they probably won't specify that it needs to be available 24/7 and auditable for tax purposes.  Yet these aspects could mean the difference between project success and failure.  Those unsaid aspects are called anything from 'nonfunctional requirements' to 'Architectural Characteristics'. In their book 'Fundamentals of Software Architecture', Ford and Richards define Architectural Characteristics to have 3 criteria: Specifies a nondomain design consideration Let's dive into these bullets to better understand them. Aspects of Architectural Characteristics Specifies a nondomain design consideration If you're building an ordering system, then order numbers, customers, items and prices ar

My experience with Udacity

-
Last week I finished a free online course from Udacity.com (google it if you're unfamiliar - it's frickin' bomb!)  So I thought I'd write a post about my experience. SO good.  I learned python, google app engine and how to create my own website....though this time I'll retain it a little longer.  The lectures are given in video format, and they are so well edited that if you really like software, you won't even realize you're taking a course - it'll feel like entertainment!  Until you get to the assignments of course - that's where the real learning comes.  They start off riDICulously easy, at least for anyone who's written code before, and they slowly get a bit harder, though the only issues with completing them you'll have are with debugging weird nuances of GAE....you don't even need to know python to start, because everything you need is usually the first link in a google search result page. The best part is that it's all FREE
