    Well said, the only flaw is the unfortunate realization that "I understand things and then apply my ability to formulate solutions" is rarely required, how many zombie corps are st…

    I really don't like the lang itself but nobody will deny it has a very strong ecosystem and stdlib for handling around 95% of many well-solved problems you are likely to encounter.…

    Sure but games are entertainment, not software, if we're being pedantic. You can't really map b2b enterprise software tropes onto b2c entertainment products, as ActiBlizz would dis…

    Agreed though I'm biased. It will be interesting as orgs flatten to see what will keep all the remaining "superhuman AI-powered all-in-one" employees from just making their own sho…

    I appreciate this is satire, or marketing, but I'll engage: in this scenario how is the SaaS generating millions if anyone can just prompt their own?

    Bytes + FSM, don't overcomplicate unless your salary depends on the solution.

    Good lord, thank you. I'm a huge fan of LLMs, they've replaced enormous amounts of toil for me but they are not 'my job'. If you walk to the kitchen and fry up an egg are you now a…

    Aye, it never happens but it does sell a lot of books ;) I don't think we'll reach this promised land™ until incentives re-align. Treating software as an assembly line was obviousl…

    Ownership means you have real skin in the corp, your payout goes up or down, hopefully somewhat proportional to your hard work. 'Ownership' is taking on those same stresses and res…

    The root issue is that the committe has no incentive to improve the language when the current situation enriches its key members, C++ is just the vehicle they co-opted to sell book…

    Same, it still feels like too much of a grift for VC monies to me. Not a hater, though it's fun to run Doom in a browser tab... just can't see any business value in 99% of its ecos…

    Software 'engineering' is too abstract, yet imagine the outrage if every new highway had a 20km/h limit...

    The final piece (writing code) eating more than 10% of your dev time "for decades" is a good indicator to find a new career imo.

    Awesome, thanks. Does C++ have a good async ('coroutine') story for io_uring yet?
