We do the same thing. It's perfectly fine for candidates to use AI-assistive tooling provided that they can edit/maintain the code and not just sit in a prompt the whole time. The heavier a candidate relies on LLMs, the worse they

Taking this to its eventual conclusion, wouldn't you just fire everyone? Say you fire 5% now, then another 5%, and another, and so on. Obviously, you'll still hire, so you can argue that not everyone will be fired, but you could p

This feels a little off. I think those who stand to financially benefit the most are taking advantage of the opportunity to do so while they can. Getting more specific, I don't buy the argument that we're getting more conservative

How would that even work? A dog has physical features (legs, nose, eyes, ears, etc.) that they use to interact with the world around them (ground, tree, grass, sounds, etc.). And each one of those things has physical structures that compose

Custard-based ice creams will often include some cooking so that you're not using raw eggs, but something closer in cooking to runny eggs (e.g. sunny-side up).

What you're suggesting is the basic startup math for any typical SaaS business. The problem is OpenAI and the overall AI space is raising funding on the promise of being much more than a SaaS. If we ignore all the absurd promises (&quo

A lot of APIs changed in response to OpenAI hoovering up data. Reddit's a big one that comes to mind. I'd argue that the last two years have seen the biggest change in the openness of the internet.

I'm not sure I understand what politics have to do with this. Housing is essential. It's "politically charged" because of the lack of affordability. Part of that is due to lack of building and now, evidently, part of tha

Your intuition is correct. Product.objects.filter() will create an optimized query to issue to the database. Meanwhile, Products.objects.all() will retrieve all the records and leaves you with the task of filtering them in-memory.
