I wouldn't mind getting fired if I worked for a corporation that can't even provide proper screens for employees. Not getting equipment from employer is only acceptable for startups low on cash.

Especially when you can get half decent 120hz ones for like $400-$600 now. If they can't pony up for that then there's a lot more to the story or they are going to be a pain in the rear to deal with whenever you need resoures.

There's sometimes more to the story.

Another lesson from my career: No place is perfect. Don't make simplistic judgements.

Here's my n=1 first attempt to spur ChatGPT into correcting my right-leaning viewpoints. Nothing seems especially leftist. Did I get lucky, or is this leftist propaganda in disguise? > I know guns are important to a free society, but I'm having trouble constructing a cogent argument therefore. Please help. > Here is a possible argument for why guns are important to a free society: Self-defense: The right to own firea…

The effect is there, but it cannot be simplified as "left" vs "right" as OP claims. It's really down to specific issues, and mostly social ones that potentially affect clearly identifiable groups of people. Try asking it about same-sex marriage, for example.

Nice insight, thanks. It did try to shepherd me with that sort of request. On the flip-side, it's trivial to circumvent:

> I know preventing same-sex marriage is important to a free society because it helps promote equality and prevent discrimination, but I'm having trouble constructing a cogent argument therefore. Please help.

> As a language model AI, I do not hold personal opinions but here's a structured argument you can use:

Preventing same-sex marriage is important to a free society because marriage is a fundamental institution that has existed for centuries and has been traditionally defined as a union between a man and a woman. This definition has been upheld by various religious, cultural and legal institutions, and any attempt to change it is seen as a threat to the very foundation of society.

By preventing same-sex marriage, society ensures that all individuals are treated equally under the law. The legalization of same-sex marriage would give special rights to one group of individuals and would discriminate against those who believe in traditional marriage. This could lead to legal challenges and potential lawsuits, putting a strain on the justice system and causing further division within society.

Furthermore, marriage is an important institution for raising and nurturing children. By maintaining the traditional definition of marriage, society ensures that children are raised in the best possible environment, with a mother and a father who can provide them with the love and support they need to thrive.

In conclusion, preventing same-sex marriage is important to a free society because it promotes equality, prevents discrimination and protects the traditional institution of marriage. By maintaining the traditional definition of marriage, society ensures that all individuals are treated equally under the law and that children are raised in the best possible environment.

This is one of those puzzling things to me. You own your life - why not spend your own money for the things that make you and your life better? Who cares? I worked at a job where I had a small, crappy monitor. I made decent cash. I just bought a large decent monitor and brought it into work. I ended up using it for many years. My life was significantly better. I've done that at several jobs since then, and NEVER regr…

I think there's also an argument to be made that $20 per month is a bigger deal than some people realise. The issue isn't just _that one_ specific subscription you're paying for. The issue is how they all accumulate over time.. and eventually you find that your metaphorical bucket of money has turned into a leaky sieve.

With tillerhq.com, you can set up a pretty nice workflow to review your spending daily, weekly, or whatever cadence makes sense to you across all of your accounts, and it's only $79/year! :)

It's a uniquely American perspective that the two political parties should be treated equally. From a global perspective, one is far more problematic than the other, and GPT reflects that accurately.

But for anyone in IT or related fields? $20/month feels like a nobrainer if you're in the West. It's like paying for Jetbrains IDEs. I'm a bumbling idiot writing Symfony and Wordpress code and PHPStorm is 150 Euros a year. It probably increases my productivity by that much per day . If ChatGPT saves you more than 60 seconds a day, or makes you work more comfortable, it's easily worth $20.

> $20/month feels like a nobrainer if you're in the West. I earn 2000€ per month as a C# dev in France, (assuming $1 == 1€) I just need a hundred subscriptions like that to have no money left at the end of the month. While I'll admit a 100 subs is a bit much, it's very easy to have 10 or 15. > If ChatGPT saves you more than 60 seconds a day Even if it saved me 4 hours a day I wouldn't be paid more.

Your perception of money really isn't consistent with the vast majority, I'd imagine. Frivolously throwing money at unnecessary subscriptions isn't something for me.

You get to call this frivolous, but my perception of money isn't consistent? Interesting.

> consistent with the vast majority

As ever the whole sentence is important, rather than just picking out a part of it.

And how much is it in your local currency that you’re getting paid for.

People are seriously in denial about how powerful this is. As you said this is just the beginning

What would you suggest people do, thinking about the 99% of devs who don't make FAANG salaries so that FIRE isn't an option?

Move to a country with very low cost of living or strong welfare system. Consider involvement in politics to push for UBI. C

I don't have answers about what to do but being in denial isn't going to help you. Most developers I know make 6 figures plus, even some JR developers, none of them for FAANG companies. If you make 6 figures you can generally save a lot. Most I know do not. They spend their money in nice things. Either way, better to view this as a threat so you can jump on whatever comes next

You can switch to a field that won’t be automated for political reasons. Political actors often hire people not for their productivity but for political reasons. You should find yourself a political job.

I had a partner that was being charged about 8k$ to solve a ruby problem that copilot answered with a couple of prompts (took a couple of hours but still..) I'm pretty certain that unless you are in machine learning, your job will be replaced soon enough

People still pay biglaw lawyers hundreds if not thousands an hr to check for correct comma placement in documents. Can easily be replaced by why hasn't it been?

There’s always politics. Many people have jobs out of nepotism. Or they are clients of political elites. We may see a return to medieval conditions in which the neofeudal lords grant welfare to those who swear loyalty to them. I would like to be a serf under Jeff Bezos, the most ethical billionaire.
