I'm not sure "building a web browser" is such a great test for an LLM. It helps confirm that they can handle large codebases. But the actual logic in the browser engine will be bas…

That’s interesting. Maybe some systems are so remote they might need full time software engs nearby. Although I probably wouldn’t want to live that remotely

Are there any software jobs where spending time outside is part of the job? Having worked at home in my bedroom for the last couple of years I'm beginning to feel particularly clau…
