The reason might be that union members give a percentage of their income to a governing body which is barely distinct from organized crime in which they have no say in. The federal…

Do you want to work with LLMs or H1Bs and interns… choose wisely. Personally I’m thrilled that I can get trivial, one-off programs developed for a few cents and the cost of a clear…

Yes

This is why civil design software has not meaningfully improved in 20 years and is indistinguishable from its state 10 years ago. We’re living in a Dark Age. We just don’t realize …

I am an engineer at an AEC firm you would probably recognize. I think there are a few competing products in this space. Owners don’t care how you do CEI or have their own absurd ri…

We probably should just stop enforcing copyright. “Stealing” my idea doesn’t deprive me of its use. Think about what the US market might look like if scaling and efficiency were re…

My employer is tightening the screws. I get it. RTO externalizes costs and privatizes benefit. The incentives are not aligned for remote work, and it’s a publicly traded firm with …

“And will deliver them with far greater stability and polish” Stable and polished are not words that ever came to my mind while using any Microsoft product.

Impressive. Very nice. Now let’s see AI pastiches of Studio Ghibli’s work.

A bridge engineer would need to know how to design a structure based on first principles of physics, nationally recognized reference documents, state agency published standards, st…

I think OSINT makes it sound like a serious military operation, but I think political opposition research is a much more accurate term for this sort of thing.

I don’t know about you, but my takeaway is that the author is doing damage control but inadvertently tipped a hand that OpenAI is probably running an elaborate con job on the DoD. …

Personally, I think training someone on the client’s dime is pretty unethical.

I would be more patient with an AI that only costs me a fraction of a cent an hour.

I think what’s happening backstage in this magic show are desperate moves to recapitalize the country. Foreign and domestic investors are pledging to spend trillions, probably unde…

If you asked a junior developer to refactor a rust program to be more idiomatic, how long would you expect that to take? Would you expect the work to compile on the first try? I lo…
