Very true, though this is something thats pretty difficult to get to by tiny increments, which is usually how these nefarious means are accomplished. One tiny thing is asked after …

I like to think, or hope, that its just a vocal minority and that the majority of engineers are at least more considerate with their AI use than going all in. It kind of makes sens…

> An experienced engineer can now build in an hour what would have taken them a week. From what I've seen, I don't think so if we're talking about like-for-like quality. Maybe as a…

Absolutely, I've been stuck on one problem for years now (why I haven't just abandoned it is another matter, the long story short is that I just can't) and yeh, like you say, I've …

Aside from the human side of it which is often nothing to do with programming itself, I'd say anything that is captivating is only so because its agonizing. If you have a problem t…

I don't mean this with any disrespect, but people love to find ways to overcomplicate things that work perfectly well. And maybe for some reason that overcomplicated version works …

Depending on how into 40k you are, you might be surprised to hear that many fans (though arguably closer to tourists, but that's another topic) don't see 40k as a satire at all, or…

I could be misremembering but I seem to recall them saying that their sizing (the reason you had to buy the special sizing kit) was slightly smaller than normal, and now it turns o…

In the former case, which seems more likely, does it not fall to reason that like any tool there'll be some that will benefit from it and some that it just won't work as well for, …

Doesn't do much to visualise the ref though who certainly had something to do with that win, but yeh the real loss did come in when we swapped our attack for defence, as soon as th…

I meant irreversible to the individual, ie they can't be shown they're corrupt and change their ways

The real question is whether the threshold before it causes irreversible corruption is before or after the point where you can make real change. The latter is obviously quite terri…

It makes sense to not want to create an admin dash, but to avoid having to keep track of thousands of feature flags in your db, it seems all you're doing here is moving them to ano…

> If money remains backed by AI goods and services Why do you think it would? If 99% of people never use those services, why do you expect they'd continue to exist? Just to justify…

Thats certainly true, but to prevent the worst of the effects of climate change we also need to do much more now than before (its debatable at this point whether its even reversibl…

> Things become worth more as they become scarecer, not less. It's a bit more nuanced than that. Generally speaking, in society as we know it, there's a point at which something be…

If 99% of people are living effectively outside the economy, those things they could have would too have to be entirely provided by AI (including the mining of materials and buildi…

The AI industry, and arguably at this point the tech industry as a whole, isn't concerned with sustainability, as long as they can profit today tomorrow is tomorrow's problem. Who …

I could quite easily ignore all this in the interest of not going through the pain of finding yet another password manager, but having your new CEO specialise in M&A is really hard…

> it seems the PMs are already halfway there to implementation Halfway there feels way overblown, and only seems to further devalue to work that devs do. Having clearly written req…

Ben Jordan has some great videos on Flock in general, would highly recommend if your not aware of this beyond knowing they're some form of security camera

We are in the minority, but don't think the majority is the opposite and like this kind of thing. The majority just don't care at all about it.

> At this point I'm convinced that marketing has been completely taken over by shareholder shills, marketing to customers they wish they had instead of the real customers that exis…
