    If you're willing to take half pay for 5 days remote, you'll actually find many options. Not too many folks are ok with half pay for remote.

    Too costly. Now its viable with AI to do it cheaply.

    Shows how well prompted AI can significantly improve human understanding. It's the slop patterns that seem to turn people off.

    More than AI, then, youre simply not made for capitalism. I can understand that..

    It's about perspective. Nuclear reactions are way more powerful, but we've harness them to power our world.

    Interesting thought. So maybe this answers the question of whether coding is art or science.

    Hey, only rose tinted glasses will tell you the older software was not buggy. Newer software is incredibly less buggy, and significantly more secure (ala fable/mythos passed). If c…

    This isn't the thread for it. But setting up a simple protocol or using one of the free dozen CDN static hosting isn't begging.

    Mr. Graham is making 2 mistakes: a) thinking that others don't understand exponential. Any reasonably college educated grad understands it well. b) thinking that growing 93 percent…

    I don't see any indication that's the world that's coming, and lot of opposing evidence. But perhaps it's a bet you're choosing :thumbs up: .

    They did till 2025. Now more than half don't enjoy it as the technical puzzles/plumbing is gone. The outcome oriented folks find it fun (and amplified up).

    how are you navigating the AI wave? Those parts of the job are fully out, and the customer engagement/value are fully in.

    Until you think using agents is a magical incantation, you will not be able to actually engage with it and develop the skill. As evidence that it is a skill beyond copy paste, you …

    If you think they've been at the same level for the past year, your skill is at issue. There was a huge jump in Nov/Dec with Opus 4.5+ and GPT 5.x series, and they've been incremen…

    It's absolutely a skill. That you're putting this up as "charisma" simply shows you have not explored agentic engineering. If you are indeed interested, this is a good beginner: ht…

    I sense your comment as saying: "AI is hype, and reality will catch-up.". But the simple fact is there's massive evidence that in skilled hands 10x or 100x engineers are possible. …

    There's an unnecessary feeling of fear that permeates any factual conversation on LLM's impact on science and engineering. You can just view the practitioner over the shoulder and …

    They're incredibly more productive. LLMs are amplifiers, so where they'd have branched and tried out N things, they can easily try 5N pathways of RnD. LLMs are extending the fronti…

    Ok, I see your point. We live with tiny inconveniences, that we would not at 10x. But I don't see how that relates to copyright or llm at all. 'Learning', at scale, is not an incon…
