I agree, good software engineering is largely about making good trade-offs. However, I completely disagree with your characterization of LLM coding as saving you "typing in the cod…

> because I no longer succumb to the temptation to cut corners due to lack of time No offense, but that says much more about the way you approach programming than about the quality…

Did you also talk about "head and shoulders" and "pennant" patterns in stock charts? Or where the "smart money" is at? I'd like to subscribe to your paid newsletter.

Exactly. If people understood that this is super-search and super-autocomplete, we'd maybe find a real net-positive use for the tech. But I think the conversational tone will keep …

My cynical take is that this is actually the PR strategy at OpenAI (and others that had to jump on the train): by talking up vague "singularity" scenarios, they build up the hype w…

"Work through it myself" is almost a contradiction in this case. Definitely look into getting some form of counseling you can afford. Another thing you can do in parallel is reachi…

(OP here) I wanted to avoid a wall of text, so I'll elaborate here on where I'm coming from. My complaints with FAANG have to do with perverse incentives that reward nonsensical de…

Over 10 years at FAANGs (mostly working in ML) I've lost the joy of software engineering, and I've been at some level of burnout for a few years. I'm considering leaving tech, but …
