1st half of thought was amazing, but I’m personally still an individualist and no, we should not all live out in the open unless we all unanimously choose to. That of course is impossible.

Tell them all the juniors are using it and it’s causing widespread security breaches and could cost the company money (it’s half true at least). If they don’t care about money when you talk about it, well, then that may signal something dee

Yeah, but don’t get yourself in trouble and be a renegade either. I do not agree that engineers should avoid technical talks with managers. They should just always be prepared to break it down and provide examples. Look people in the eye, e

It was all considered risky and niche (anything on the internet). What made the free web possible was first and foremost, access to it. Then, probably a combination of technological, cultural, and economic factors and the human beings behin

> Comparatively, the role of a software engineer is rather limited. Ouch, what exactly does this random, contrived distinction seek to do? In my opinion, a software engineer is a living concept that captures system engineering. It is lik

Don’t really rely on Siri that much. I absolutely hated Apple as a kid, but I dunno. Apple can take their time rummaging through my data in my humble opinion. Like, do they need to be the leader of ML when we all know what it takes to impro

Does anyone else feel the timing is somewhat suspicious? I don’t know a single conversation I’ve had with anyone literally bitchin about how much they despise not having a button. PITA sure, but feels oddly close to all this supply chain st

An abstraction that allows a landscape of experimentation and learning on an interrupt based general purpose machine? What a bunch of thoughtless assholes!

It’s hard because the concepts of authentication and authorization are simple to abstract but hard to keep separate at a technical level. It’s actually super powerful once you futilely attempt to craft your own system that keeps the concern

Engineering is a practice. Like medicine, but we’re building machines that run in a virtual space. We architect and build houses in our minds. We send those projects to production to make the business money. That’s engineering.

Sometimes people just don’t want to work with you because you’ve become a moniker, too. There’s no reason, seriously. It’s called being shit out of luck imho

Horribly applied logic. While mistakes will happen, PayPal for individuals and businesses are apples and oranges because that’s how the banks work. This is a business account. This comment adds nothing to the convo. Little Snitch is amazing

Here’s the thing: I don’t care if the thing can make programming languages, I care as much as anyone here telling me they can probably demonstrate their programming language. How is that going to help? Or is it all about meeting and beating

This all seems very personal to an outside observer and I do hope you’re feeling okay about humanity in general. I imagine like most models, GPT could (somehow) structurally become too burdensome, because of some future breakthrough. That s
