Not at all. I’m a run of the mill dev who would like to stay ahead of the AI wave.

I think it depends on what kind of senior you are. Juniors are by their nature mostly order fillers. Seniors can be anywhere from more complex code order fillers to fairly well developed experts in business logic.

I suspect that the last white collar workers have been trained outside of regulated fields. If it can be taught, an AI can do it. The only work left is either manual or inherently new.

I doubt it. The concept of cheating is largely unique to academia and a few uptight professions like law. Everywhere else it is just collaboration or learning or simply something nobody cares about. I would say that tech largely rewards the

You can still have multiple contracts.

On the other hand we are also willing to buy it, so reliability is arguably not as valued a good as people assumed.

It’s also trivial to use now. With AI, there’s no meaningful additional work in using a VM.

Or even in 2026. You absoutely will pay a human that for that work.

C# and Java devs are anecdotally the only kind of dev to think of themselves primarily by language. Most other devs don’t talk about language in a driest few sentences intro.

Doesn't this suggest your use case is simply insufficiently complicated?

$20 for an everything tool is a steal. It’s a steal at 10x the price. I’ll happily accept best effort in exchange for it being so cheap that I can throw it at any trivial annoyance. It’s worth keeping in mind that the alternative is not rea

My grandparents had a dishwasher from the 1980s. The contractor they hired to fix it didn’t even know how to take it out of the spot as it had an old design that attached it at the top. ChatGPT both told me exactly why from the model number

The virtue is never having to know for stupid printer crap.

I guess I am mostly intrigued that those lists would differ greatly with respect to cleaning.

Yeah, I just had Claude fill out the task list, and then before hitting the end of the task list ask whether I wanted to continue or whether getting some of it done was enough....

And it still seems unclear what they thought they could get from the war in the first place.

Sympathy. Railway is going to have numerous people blaming them for this outage. When us-east-1 fails, it is headline news, so you are not to blame.

Way back when I was working my first job, datalist didn’t work on Firefox. That’s what got Firefox removed from the list of supported browsers. It has been a problem for a long time if you want to support anything other than Chrome.

This particular battle for learning was lost a long time ago. If university stopped providing an earnings boost from attending, 90% of students would quit tomorrow. It doesn’t help that a lot of desirable fields are comically out of date at

This is driven in part by regulatory pressure.

Mostly because unless it is a really desirable movie, hoping for the best has an expected outcome close to the best.I am a planner in most things, but for movies, it often simply does not matter.

Because the reason for it is not valued by most of us. I do not care about a removable battery. I do not care. I value it at zero. So yes, I do not want to be inconvenienced for something I value at zero.

Flags overwhelmingly represent nations, groups considering themselves nations, that were nations or have some kind of individual governmental status. If you asked 100 people to imagine a particular flag to attach to that statue, 95% of them

The delta isn't a day to 5 minutes, but a day to a half hour (where most of my larger tickets take)? Yes, especially as you don't need to watch it do its thing anymore. To me, the lack of amazing productivity gains is that we have

The problem is that if the local tax base needs protecting, it is doomed long term anyway. Take a look at the (no longer that big) auto makers. Decades of protectionism has just lead to companies producing shit cars nobody wants to buy. Can

The problem with Codex is that Codex is largely only for code due to its more aggressive sandboxing. Claude can do pretty much everything for your computer out of the box. It is not insurmountable, but it is a big barrier to convince anyone

Facebook in general has a huge scam problem. I routinely see ads claiming to be from CBC or CNN or Reuters selling lottery software, Bitcoin engines or perpetual motion machines. Supplements seem to be the most legal out of all the scams re
