That was a really good summary, thank you.

I agree, for many it's wonderful. If you've got family at home I can see that being a real attraction. When my kids were little I'd have liked that as well. I also had wonderful of…

I'd also add that healthcare is serious shit-show as it currently stands and the best strategy is to just stay as healthy as you possibly can to avoid having to go to the doctor, i…

LOL! The first thing that came to my head was, "I've never had a CEO that shouldn't be in jail. Well, except for the current one. He seems okay. The others committed fraud and dece…

This is not just software development wisdom, it's life wisdom.

The future is already here. Been working a few years at a subsidiary of a large corporation where the entire hierarchy of companies is pushing AI hard, at different levels of compl…

Dead rich people don't own own anything, their heirs do. Keep that in mind.

Then you're going to need to invent an android with a awesome set of secondary sexual characteristics then, cause otherwise your idea is going nowhere. Mojo Nixon has your number: …

Just making sure there is less noise when they start (already started) using U.S.-armed U.S. forces here in the U.S. to oppress people they don't like - non-Magazis, people without…

You're assuming that gold is going towards infrastructure. I don't think a lot of it is. I think it's a money grab while the getting's good.

It will never ever ever happen, because the nearly the entire software industry actively works against anything that inhibits pace of development. Software is mostly created by bus…

Let me share an anecdotal but very telling story about this attitude of more work is better work. I have been a software developer for 30+ years now, and I have avoided working out…

That's not at all who the article is talking about. You're piers are not representative, and what you describe is not the issue.

As my buddy from Oracle likes to say, "No one cares what we do as long as the flow of streak, coke, and strippers doesn't stop." He's a big Zed Shaw fan.

Totally lines up with my experience as well. We also have the opposite problem of reams of code generated years ago from a period of unsupervised offshore work where we're slowly p…

I haven't really noticed that myself. I go "LLM shopping" fairly frequently trying to find which one of the few I'm paying for gives the best result for the current problem. They a…

I'll share a new wrinkle that casts more shade on the coding LLMs. We have a fair number of offshore resources that are used for dev. They developers are fully integrated into the …

That mentor was very, very wise. I've had the same thing happen to me twice now. It happens outside the realm of career as well. For me it was a baby in the NICU and the rest of my…

Not me, but my buddy got out of software development and learned to be, as he describes it, "a bog standard electrician." He had money for trade school, and then apprenticed under …

Stupid things for stupid people, no mystery.

Just ask yourself if this AI generated software is what you want managing your bank account or the monitor next to your bed in the hospital. The lack of determinism makes LLMs unsu…

1 in 5 Americans don't like the police.

I would never heard of these cards except for they got the creator banned and ended up on Hacker news because of that. Seems pretty Streisandy to me.

Cue Streisand effect in 3...2...
