    How can you sanely project the last 12 months forward? We have seen a huge uptick in usage. Last summer AI was a toy to most devs, now every enterprise developer I talked to uses i…

    I think a better term would be bridle, but most people don't know it. But they do put harnesses on their kids and pets.

    Anyone I talked to who actually built software found them to be bunk. Occasionally they work, but mostly they just burn tokens. The only people I know still hyped on this approach …

    You missed the crypto hype by a few years. Also zit is slang for a pimple or acne. Not a great name.

    So that puts them in the middle? For such a massive state, regression to the median sounds likely.

    Bold claims with no examples. Anyone can make a markdown chart with some pros and cons. Description by comparison is weak.

    Great, more RTO mandates.

    Because these data centers put enormous pressure on local utilities, pay 0 dollars back into the local economy, and get tax breaks. Often they are facilitated by backroom deals wit…

    Because we value leadership over craftsmanship. Ever since people like Ford showed that it was not individual skills but optimized systems that make the biggest corporate machines …

    Does it do anything novel? Looks the same as any other basic stock ticker app. Most of the popular ones are made by companies with massive marketing budgets.

    We had a private network on campus circa 2010. Streaming was up and coming but not huge. Gnutella was great on the gigabit intranet. You could download entire HD movies in minutes …

    I would rather see MS Paint art like Slay the Spire than ai slop art. I think you could have done ai art for a demo but it's so obviously ai, it immediately turned me off. And may …

    Bleh AI card art. One of the best part of card games is the ability to showcase high quality illustrators.

    Hosting and public are different. This measure is like saying unless you are painting public murals you haven't made real art. The take is just so wrong it's hard to know where to …

    I build stuff that people use every day (judging by the flood of tickets I'll get if I ship a bug), but my public github profile looks like a ghost account. 99% of what I build is …

    Prompt engineering is mostly structured thought. Can you write a lab report? Can you describe the who, what, when, where, and why of a problem and its solution? You can get it to w…

    Maybe? This seems to be more aimed at procrastination. Making map or a tool is still doing a thing, just not the thing.

    There should be a saying like "A tool is not the task" similar to "A map is not the land." As professional tool makers it can be easy to replace the task with a tool in theory, but…

    Because many people run on policies and then just don't follow up. Trump ran on "no more wars" and then started a war. Most people have such a team mindset they will choose denial …

    Because our government is not run for the workers but the owners. Full stop.

    Sometimes people just need something else to tell them their ideas are valid. Validation is a core principle of therapeutic care. Procrastination is tightly linked to fear of a neg…

    This assumes you wake up and are given liberties. There are much worse fates. Waking up and owing your life to the company forever is pretty awful. Worse even is never truly waking…
