It's all a shell game...sure insurance profits are capped, but it doesn't stop executives from taking lavish salaries. I worked for a Blue Cross Blue Shield affiliate in 2006-2007. The CEO was making 2.1 million dollars per year

Sure, but at some point she will be done paying off that large sum and she'll be living pretty well.

I wasn’t aware .NET was any more proprietary than anything else these days. Care to elaborate?

Can we stop pretending we all have Google-scale problems? That’s how we got into the current K8s mess we’re in.

Most companies do not have WhatsApp scaling problems to solve. Having said that, I’d love to work on an Elixir project.

Or stop chasing the latest fad(s) and build a regular old boring service. The dev experience for building/debugging/troubleshooting distributed functions/lambdas is atrocious. Use boring tech, solve business problems and cre

I propose cutting administrative costs by 90%. A bunch of paper pushers in meetings all day making too much money driving up the cost of everything they touch.

Nothing to see here: "But the US ambassador to the UN, Linda Thomas-Greenfield, said the resolution, carefully crafted by Brazilian diplomats, was unacceptable because it made no mention of Israel’s right to self-defence. The UK abstai

Folks act like this is a unique problem/behavior by Microsoft. It’s not - as an industry we aren’t held accountable for collectively mostly treating security issues as an afterthought.

I wish I could not do my job (collectively all of Congress) and somehow manage to keep it until I die.

I consulted for a Blue Cross Blue Shield affiliate (big health insurance group for our non-US readers) that used Excel spreadsheets for managing all their plans and driving their claims processing. This was a company that did 2+ billion dol

Plenty of “healthy” people die of cancer. My sister in law passed away at 49. She had no family history of cancer, ate healthy, ran daily, was not overweight for her entire life.

I paid for it and Copilot, so yes I have. The code it generates is either great or totally wrong, more often the latter than the former.

I paid for ChatGPT for a few months and finally cancelled yesterday. As a code generator it’s a frustrating assistant that gets it wrong most of the time. I guess that’s good from a selfish developer point of view.

Can't wait for most of these companies to disappear once the hype dies down and the money dries up. Generative AI in its current form is a huge letdown.

Sorry, but I'm a seasoned developer, I can be succinct and ChatGPT will still get it wrong more often than it gets it right. Trying to get it to fix what it's done shouldn't result in things just falling out, or have it just

Can all the hype around AI and ChatGPT die right now? ChatGPT 4 is a brilliant forgetful moron. Trying to have a conversation where it spits out code is an exercise in frustration. As you interact and tell it to change/fix things, it

+1 for DataGrip. It's not perfect, but it's miles ahead of anything else I've used in the recent past.

It's "underrated" because at most of our employers it doesn't exist. Some might pretend it does, maybe some even believe they're doing it. We all serve the at the alter of next quarterly financial report.

It's almost as if corporations only care about their shareholders and give zero shits about their employees.

My 11/yo has the same pump. Control IQ is great...but it takes a cautious approach to adjustments of insulin delivery given that it can only lower blood glucose levels and not raise them. Hopefully dual-hormone pumps will come out in

My 11/yo son is a type 1 diabetic. While this seems great...I can't trust a DIY solution. Beta Bionics has the real deal: https://www.betabionics.com/ and has been recently given the green light by the FDA.

Agreed. Most (but not all) old people have trouble letting go of old ideas. I can't imagine old powerful people keeping old ideas alive for hundreds of years.
