And it doesn't help that we are getting deeper in the idiocracy timeline everyday.

Exactly, also it lacks a lot of context as to why they did that. Possible (probable?) scenario: - Marketing: "we found and fixed lots of bugs thanks to AI" - Reality: the KPI is now to fix as many bugs as possible with the help of

Same here, I might actually migrate.

Same here. It's such a shame because I always wanted to invest in SpaceX (even despite it's CEO), but now most of the money would go to AI stuff rather than space exploration, so I'm out.

A little bit more time and people might finally understand why we have formal deterministic languages, and we'll be back full circle to proper programming.

I'm working on assembling a full-stack framework/template that aims at building performant and quality web apps very quickly. It's going to be 100% statically type-safe across the stack, SQL first for the DB layer(s), and wit

In french we have Windaube (pronunced Windob). Daube is a slang word for something of low quality.

The "vibe thinking" trend where people stop using their brain and rely on whatever random output the LLM tells them is harder to diagnose, but it's certainly there and at least as bad as vibe coding.

Thanks for the insights. I have been in technical leadership positions in the past, but disliked the management part. I think that the other dilemma is that I don't like big companies, as I've only had negative experiences and I g

What you say makes total sense. But for some personal reasons the social part of the job has always been my weak side and I'm just not interested in playing that game. I've had fairly positive successes in the past when being a co

Realistically that is the balance I am hoping to eventually reach through freelancing (more money the freedom to work on things I like and try micro businesses)

Thanks for the insights. But I've already been at this kind of position in the past (tech-lead role involving managing the devs). I hated the management part and even had to recover from a burn-out of a huge and messy project. Also I c

I definitely feel that about inefficiencies. I'm also frustrated at the general lack of care for quality, so I might want to find a niche where it matters and where mistakes have consequences.

I've already kind-of tried some management, in the sense that some of my previous tech-lead positions actually involved managing the team as well. But that's really not something I enjoy or want to do. > Also I question that yo

I envy you for being in this position. I'm definitely interested in entrepreneurship, but it's not so easy to get started.

Thank you. That is mostly what I have been leaning toward recently, and why I'm interested in freelancing. I want more time for my own projects, and freelancing seems to be the only way that I can find a better balance between money an

Thanks for the answer. That is definitely why I have such dilemma, because I know that I don't want to be in the management. Hence why I'm leaning more towards freelancing or creating my own business for now (easier said than done

I liked my X1 carbon gen 7, but the motherboard died after 2 years and was not repairable, so it's my biggest regret recently.

Except that the bubble's money is not being invested into cutting-edge ML research, but only into LLMs. And it has been obvious from the start to anyone half-competent about the topic that LLMs are not the path to AGI (if such a thing

They have pretty much already won cold war 2, and achieved this by using US capitalism and tech against itself.

GitHub is implemented in Ruby (on Rails), and now there is apparently a strong internal push from Microsoft to code everything using AIs/LLMs. IMO mixing a dynamically typed language, a framework based on magic conventions and vibe cod

Are you suggesting that we use an LLM as an interface between the AI and the player? Why would anyone choose to awkwardly play using natural language rather than a reliable, fast and intuitive UI?

The Manhattan project was an engineering project, not so much a scientific one. It was only made possible because the science and theories behind it were discovered first.
