> I think we will still need software devs, but not as many as we do today. I'm more of an optimist in that regard. Yes, if you're looking at a very specific feature set/product th…

I'm not surprised. Apple ID seems completely broken to me, even when I just tried to set up a new MacBook 4 weeks ago: Create an account via the settings page? Had to contact suppo…

I'd be fine calling myself a "AI Engineer" for having worked with TensorFlow, PyTorch and scikit-learn and having experience in running AI Models in production. Nowadays, making re…

Have you tried out working on multiple projects or tasks at the same time? When I hit a wall, it's often futile to continue working on that single problem. So I'll just leave it as…

I have the impression that some people can be software developers for 10 years or longer but they still don't "get it" while some junior devs are really great right from the start.…

This could even play out on a broader scale and even increase the demand for software engineers. What is going to happen if more and more people are creating lots of software that …

Yeah if it's more like "you work for me; I pay you as long as the results are good but will fire you at will" it's much easier to pull this off while maintaining a clear conscience…

> As long as they perform the tasks of their jobs, why shouldn't they be "getting away with it"? I'd say it depends a lot on the legal framework of employment contracts. I don't kn…

> "The more unclear and early the product is, the more in-person time the team needs to grind together" I agree and that statement from Sam makes sense to me. Early on, it's great …

Agreed and even using the same code for different levels can work well. The juniors spot obvious errors. The seniors also spot logical flaws and the conversation quickly moves into…
