They weren't going to, if not they would've done it already in the past. You're not going to spend $30,000 and weeks of your time just to see if an idea you had under the shower can make a few bucks as a side project, but now

AI-assisted coding is great, but vibe coding IMO is only good for disposable prototypes. You're not going to vibe-code a financial app that needs to be maintained indefinitely. You're also not going to mess with legacy systems. I

I really don't get why this wasn't a requirement that was baked in since the beginning. Apple must know that they have customers in EU countries..?

There is no way that LLMs can replace human engineers. They're often wrong, dumb, and would turn any code into an unmaintainable mess in days if left unchecked. I use LLMs every day because I can do less work at my job, but they suck a

It's extremely useful for UIs. As a front-end guy, if I owned a project I would have the API AI-assisted and UI AI-driven.

I did. You implied in your first comment that being against capitalism didn't mean being in favor or socialism, but it is because they're the only modern economic systems. So, I guess I can keep going without changing my mind.

OK, so there's capitalism, socialism, communism can't really exist, and then the Blackfoot Indians..?

I'm in Poland, but I'm from Italy and I've lived in the U.S. for a few years. Worst post offices in Italy by far, but Poland and U.S. pretty similar. Other low-paying jobs don't seem to generate the same amount of unhapp

I know but there's always something shiny that keeps me away from that goal. But I keep reading about people getting fired because of AI and every time I do I get progressively more anxious and closer to getting start on that.

Got it. I need to start saving some money. Hope you find another job soon!

I would say both less efficient and less profitable. If you're saying FedEx people are also depressed, then maybe it's just delivering boxes that's the problem? But I think it's pretty safe to say that there is nobody mo

Right, I agree that governments should stay out of people's business. If you're saying that governments always mess with the free market, then I guess we're in socialist-capitalist economic systems..? Still better than just s

I'm a high school dropout. What are other economic systems..? Nobody seems to be able to answer, I would be happy to look them up to learn more about them.

They didn't mention capitalism, "it's just business" just means that's how it goes. If the government owned the company OP works at, it would still be "just business" according to the commenter.

Is that in any dictionary, though? Capitalism means capitalism, free market with citizens owning companies. If it's deeply entangled in the Protestant work ethic and prosperity gospel ideals in the U.S., then what's bad is the Pro

I have. What are other options? Capitalism, socialism (what people refer to as communism), and then communism which will never exist because it always stops with the government stealing everything and not wanting to give up power to move on
140.
by altern8 4mo ago
Yes, exactly. Which is good, I can't figure out how anybody can see the government owning everything as a good thing for anyone. If you just look at postal services across the world, as an example, or anything else run by government, t

I'm not following you. Capitalism just means free market. Private individuals own the companies instead of the government, and they do that with the main goal of making money. I can't figure out why that must necessarily mean that

Yes, I guess investments, etc., but 1.5 years is a long time. I don't think I could go more than 2-3 months. Maybe I should start saving some money.

by altern8 4mo ago
What do you want, then? Isn't there capitalism, socialism--which is what people are actually talking about when they talk about communism, and then communism which will never exist? What were you referring to?

I don't know if it's on purpose, but I've seen a few images and videos and I can't figure out what the laptop looks like. Why are all the pictures so dark? You can't see it!

Ah, yes. A lot more repos, commits, and most importantly huge PRs. That makes sense. Thank you!

Why do they go down so often? Is it true that the reason is that they've incorporated too much AI without human review?
