Thank you for this. A good read and useful information.

Love this analogy. I think most of the arguments above seek to establish that the soft, as your analogy goes, is not the main or the only participant in the whole.

I am somewhat inclined to believe that this statement is aimed entirely at commercial sphere, which, at least in my mind, supports those arguing that this is a marketing ploy by th…

I work for a smallish supermarket chain (I assume, by the US standards) - we have about a 1000 stores in 5 countries, about 40-45K tills. At peak trading my teams' services handle …

As a lawyer with 13 years experience in my previous life, I can tell you that you can't trust a paralegal either. What it does do is give you the "first pass" - if I could automate…

This, more than anything and it doesn't only apply to the "new" languages. I spent the last year picking up basic Common Lisp and Elixir just for the fun of it. As "languages" they…

And, for avoidance of doubt, I do think immigration is both a good thing and a necessary thing. Of course, being an immigrant, I am somewhat biased.

It's not a defence. The "new city" per year is a scare mongering tactic that presents only a partial data picture as its basis.

International student fees. I did say "all legal, privately paid for"

Miniscule amount over thousands iterations... adds up

I sort of think you just proved the author's point - you are using the AI to increase your productivity. People who cannot adjust in that way will be less productive and loose out.…

Primary school here is until 12 (Year 6)

The problem with this argument is that completely ignores the die-off rate of the population or the demographics. On average, our population is dieing off at about 600k per year - …

So, I came to the UK when I was 15, studied for over 10 years, got my citizenship. All legal, privately paid for. Incidentally, I worked as a solicitor for over 10 years, large par…

"The UK would face economic collapse without significant immigration." Demographics of our country guarantee a demographic collapse. Not as bad as say Japan or Germany, but enough …

You would be surprised, but that was the plan in 50s and 70s, when we got a people from Pakistan and South East Asia to come to work in the factories. They did not go back and sett…

This. I am working on a personal project and definitely initial design and dev is easier in a monolith. Microservices, at the stage my project is at, will bring too much overhead t…

I think that this is a very solid point, but perhaps the reasoning underlying this type of issue is somewhat more complex. For example, we run a what is now a v5 of our API as a bu…

Awesome read, cool idea. From software engineering perspective, this is a great example of a product being put to use that was not anticipated by the dev. Thank you for the link!

I used kinesis advantage for about two months. Ended switching to Ultimate Hacking Keyboard and have never been happier - haven't switched the keyboard since - about 4 years now. C…

This. Absolutely the feeling I had after reading both of them

I work in a team of 45 devs. We develop, deploy and maintain our code. Maintenance is done on rotation, everyone is responsible for deployment of their code all the way to prod and…

> the entire point of DevOps was that "operations" shouldn't exist, and that operations is a task that should be done by the developers. Ergo, if you even have operations people to…

To pick one: - getting paid from abroad qualifies a journalist, or anyone for that matter, as foreign agent in Russia. This comes with obligations of monthly income/expenditure rep…

I think you misunderstand the Russian situation a little bit. Russia has not blocked the movement of cash - you can transfer out up to $50k per month to self or relative. Secondly,…
