I totally agree, maybe 1 in 100 web pages actually NEED any of the code they run. Mostly it's reinventing the wheel. Where a flat site with fixed HTML and pretty CSS would be fine, they add a splash page so they can show a logo, they&#

This is the second most important page on your website. The first is a clear description of the product. Without a pricing page people immediately think your pricing and contracts are predatory and probably covering up product deficiencies

I think the most realistic fear is not that it has scary capabilities, it's that AI today is completely unusable without human oversight, and if there's one thing we've learned it's that when you ask humans to watch some

I don't see that generally. It's mostly only in huge corps, not mid and small size companies, the types that make up the majority of world employers.

Good ones really do and they work hard to enhance the productivity of their workers. I always say to my people that my job is to make their jobs easier, and to a large degree that's true. There are other types who prefer the power trip

I still remember when preemptive multitasking became big in the X86 world in the late 80s/early 90s. It was a real sea change in OS stability. DESQView was fantastic but real preemptive multitasking was amazing. It was why I stayed on

Oy, this could be huge. Doctors want an easy to use EMR more than anything. The trick is making sure it's great on the backend for revenue collection as well. I'd adore the chance to help shape a new EMR. A well designed EMR can b

They COULD be great AI chatbots with good data, but in general what is being deployed is just crap. The cheapest app they can get set up as fast as possible so they can check a box, there's no real concern to make it good. I had a talk

I have similar issues with support form companies that heavily push AI and self-serve models and make human support hard. I'm very accomplished and highly capable. If I feel the need to turn to support, the chances the solution is in a

Sorry, to be clear I was referring to programming labeled as news only, not non-news content. There's lots of opinion content, but they don't call it news, unlike cable news networks. I didn't mean to say there's never i

I agree. I swore off of cable news many years ago because they're ALL toxic. They all have to keep people watching so it's stuffed full of breathless journalism making you think something major is happening any moment now. We&#x27

> Rarely in software does anyone ask for “fast.” That's because it's understood that things should work as quickly as possible, and not slowly on purpose (generally). No one asks that modern language is used in the UI as oppose

I totally agree. So many sites nag me to use an app, nope, your website is perfect, I don't need your code running on my device 24/7.
