I suspect this is a "what you are used to" and have trained yourself to look out for over many years of code reading.

You are thinking growth in product and opportunities. But that doesn't always require or translate to more engineering especially in the face of AI efficiency if that work to suppo…

My opinion is that it is because the measure isn't aimed at technical people. It's aimed at clients that just want to specify what they want -> then get what they want without an e…

> A better move would be to stop allowing people to graduate in CS. Its a free market if you are the one paying for it solely. If you are willing to pay for the degree then the dem…

If the industry is to shrink this is the best way it can. Stop people entering while they are young and can pivot into something with better returns. Keep the experienced people wh…

Searched online for it - there is this one https://github.com/fsprojects/fsharp-hashcollections . YMMV.

My personal anecdote when I talk to people - everyone when talking about their job w.r.t AI is like "at least I'm not a software engineer!". To give a hint this isn't just a US phe…

I find algo performance is a consideration, but so is overall system performance especially in the face of concurrency, staleness, update rate, data processing size, consistency of…

F# has since gotten Functional State machines which make many computation expressions more efficient ( https://github.com/fsharp/fslang-design/blob/main/FSharp-6.0... ). Been there…

Agree. Anthrophic in particular have been quite clear in what they are trying to do. Every blog post about every new model almost dismisses every other use case other than coding -…

The question really is what you think the long term direction of SWE as a profession is. If we need juniors later and senior's become expensive that's a nice problem to have mostly…

Domain knowledge and gatekeeping. We don't know what is required in their role fully, but we do know what is required in ours. We also know that we are the target of potentially tr…

I think it's pretty clear that Anthrophic was the main AI lab pushing code automation right from the start. Their blog posts, everything just targeted code generation. Even their h…

All I can say to that is "I hope so too"; but logic is telling me otherwise at this point. Because the alternative, as evidenced by this thread, isn't all that good. The fear/dread…

> disrupting others careers is why you have a career in the first place. Not every software project has or did this. In fact I would argue many new businesses exist that didn't exi…

They commoditized their complement to their hardware/infra, that being software. Good for them and the value of tech will shift to what is still scarce relatively.

Because of point 3 most SWE's are also hesistant to pay for software. The positive feedback loop of "I did well out of this so i will support others as well" is over. When you are …

I think AI has come as the industry was somewhat maturing and most frameworks/software had previous incarnations that mostly did the same thing or could be done adhoc anyway. The n…

In the face of LLM's it won't be rational for many people to open source their work. People don't want their work/effort being used against them.

Open source ended up disrupting the software profession; just not in the way people thought it would. If we didn't have open source arguably developers would be more secure, way mo…

My theory is that this (juniors unable to get in) is generally how industries/jobs die and phase out in a healthy manner that causes the least pain to its workers. I've seen this h…

I wouldn't be surprised if it is only software and creative jobs that die. Whilst I still find it expensive to buy a house, get food, and the grunt work will still need labor. What…

TL;DR: There's many more ways to lose money or barely break even than gain from AI investing. Because unlike previously: - You can't invest in these things directly (mostly private…

Amazing how much investment has mostly gone to eliminate one job category; ironically what was meant to be the job of the future "learn to code". To be honest on current trajectory…

Indeed. I do wonder if the inventors of the "transformer architecture" knew all the potential Pandora's boxes they were opening when they invented it. Probably not. No one wants to…
