I've been fired (super early in my career I was a waiter) and laid off twice (Great recession and the covid overspend). If you think for even a second that an organization will put…

Yes, let us not forget The Trail of Tears which happened two hundred years ago. > China increasingly says to autocrats, Would you like to stay in power? I can help you with that. >…

The exact opposite has happened for me. I used to review every pr, give read only access to db. Now with codex 5.6 sol high I let it rip. I do sometimes quickly scan the pr but mos…

Right. I misspoke. Should have said not in our lifetime.

Yes agreed that is how the world turns but given the state of world I don't see it happening in any of our lifetimes.

> seems to be approaching its final stages Sure, if you spend most your time on the internet in various news forums its doom and gloom. Its what sells.

Come on. You can say all that nonsense about almost any other country. Most everyone wants to come to America for the opportunity. Think an immigrant in China has the same economic…

You're clearly not an American and they will never catch up on hardware. I'm mostly curious why you are so excited for China to "crush" American companies?

In my experience a legacy codebase is where LLM shines. What would take days to grok is understood and explained almost immediately. There was a bit of job security with being the …

When I was younger (50ish now) I could juggle full time work with side projects but I just can't now, especially with family demands. Full time work is pretty much burning me out. …

I hear you. You're frustrated. Some people are having success with it. What have you tried to do with it? > Humans can be held accountable for their own slop If you're a human and …

Who cares? I obviously didn't like the article. > Schemes were all wrong Why'd you let him run wild for two months? What software org would let anyone, even principle do that? Woul…

Agreed. I never considered myself an "engineer". Honestly just a regular code monkey. Software Engineer was just my job title. Folks higher up the ladder did engineer software. You…

I know of a publicly traded company which in its early years was built on beer. Literally. 3 guys in a co-working space in Cambridge, MA. Beer fueled their progress. 15 years later…

I worked for a company that sold b2b contact data and they had (maybe still have) a linkedIn extension. It basically enriched the linkedIn profile. I wonder if linkedIn is trying t…

When i was first laid off during the dot com bust I was working on a sales floor. All open no cubes. We didn't know layoffs were coming. Manager walks in and taps this one guy on t…

We really do love dirty laundry don't we? I'm sure whatever the context is, it is deeply personal. Do you also have your popcorn ready?

While crazy to us, I bet we're in the minority. Average computer user might actually like it or at worse (to MSFT) not even notice it. Their web experience is bombarded with "1 wei…

It was truly a wild time. All the books desperate for action in this new online gambling world (US). I went from book to book, took "advantage" of their promos, never collected a d…
