It's hard to not see this as unintentional by big tech because now these same media outlets are completely subservient to their platforms. Very few media outlets can be the New York Times most are confined to Youtube, Facebook, Instagr

There’s also little job security and poor benefits.

Yes it's unfair. It's digital colonialism. What's sad is that other companies keep falling for the false narrative that big tech monopolies act as partners and not the blood sucking leeches they've become to represent.

You're acting as if capitalists treat their workers well under the current system when the opposite has occurred. Nearly $50 trillion was stolen from workers [1] by the capitalists owners in the US. Income inequality is literally at wo

The labor class should also advocate for workplace democracy to fight back. Workers should be able to vote for their bosses. Democratic societies are good for human flourishing. The only way to flourish is to have a thriving middle class. W

It does when this is the same company that threatens employees who want to unionize. Hard to extol the virtues of profit when it results in this. I'm sure the owner love it tho.

What should the other 90% of the population due? Buy lottery tickets?

Can you say what makes USA McDs better? Definitely curious!

Classic. Reminds me of the Seinfeld bit where George is describing an outlet to an electrician and the electrician goes “the holes.”

I live in Boston where I make double(-ish) the household median income ($80k to $100k). For individual median incomes, I make $140k more. I'm able to save over half my monthly income and it's still not enough. I absolutely can&#x2

Why is it a bad thing to ask for a company to do right by their paid customers? This type of policy absolutely causes the company to lose more business in the future because it shows customers that they don't care about customers. I ne

Weird, I live in the USA make $180k yet still can’t own a house and building wealth is extremely hard. EU has better societal benefits than the US (access to healthcare, education, mandated vacation time (often starting at 3-4 weeks). The v

Yes but wouldn't you rather get this through your community, family, and friends? You know the things that don't have dominion over your ability to survive?

To be more honest, it did feel like if I just stuck with the standard library it was okay at generating a higher ratio of useful snippets. Once I introduced a library is where things fell apart.

How many fraudulent charges did you deal with?

I do this and it still spits out react snippets regardless like 40% of the time... I feel like unless you are doing something extremely basic this is fine but once you introduce state or animations all these systems death spiral.

Isn’t this because the LLMs had like a million+ react tutorials/articles/books/repos to train on? I mean I try to use them for svelte or vue and it still recommends react snippets sometimes.

There's more to life than working. Why do you feel it's necessary to work two jobs in an industry that typically pays more than the median home income in 99% of cities in the US?

“Best” is carrying a lot of wait. More accurate to say the monopolistic companies that engage in regulatory capture will be fine.

No, buy packs are pure market manipulation. There is a reason why they were banned prior to 1982. It's a SEC rule that can easily be reversed too but the rich love their ability to manipulate markets for their benefit.

Why do you feel the need to work a second job, why would that be better? Wouldn't you rather be a part of your local community and put effort there rather than a private enterprise?

Because you won't be rewarded with money and influence while still having the same risks of layoffs. At this point you're better off working on your own thing because the company is usually, always with few exceptions mind you, a

If you dig down deep enough it’s always about valuing money over humans.

Yeah and if you’re going by market share that easily puts Chrome in the $100billion range. Obviously there are massive profits to be made from private browsers.

Really interesting how the poster gets very defensive when rightfully called out on it too. We’re going to see similar emotional outbursts in the future. Probably going to need new strategies to convince people why they are wrong. Even hard

Having something shoved in your face because you bought the snake oil is definitely one take. If you talk to workers being forced to use these tools you come away with a different conclusion.

It wasn’t their money, why would they care? I mean that’s how the system is designed and the outcomes it generates. What VC backed companies take bootstrapping seriously? It’s mostly growth achieved via money not sustainable business plans.

The world didn’t really change for vast sums of time. A European peasant in 800 in France would have a very similar life if you put them in the year 1400 in France.

That seems self-selected and biased toward their own experiences. When I was a junior I was allowed and given free reign to design the test system for the product and implement a design system for the frontend team. Junior doesn't mean
