I think the difference between deepseek and OpenAI/Anthropic is one of the difference between practitioners and academics. Ofcourse there is world class talent at OpenAI. But there are also alot of "I went to Harvard and want to w

Usually when theres major problems, who ever is in charge allowed those problems to occur. Probably they got promoted, while causing those problems. So youre directly challenging their status and job.

Yeah there's a few winners they are hoping for. So they pattern match, Jeff Bezos went to Princeton and worked at hedge funds, so lets fund everyone that looks like that. Turns out a bunch of those people are actually lemons, so they r

Alot of startups arent profitable because they are ran by people that have prestigious pedigrees, but dont know what theyre doing/have no experience. So they blow all kinds of money on bad ideas/poor execution, but are still able

You need to segment looks by genetic pools to get an accurate read on this. So, select the most attractive of Swedish, they will be above the rest of the swedes. Select most attractive of Jewish, run the same exercise. Again, there are more

they dont care because all they need to do is look at your facial symetry to gauge how well your mind is working. its a psyop by society that people dont know this is biologically how brains interpret attractiveness

Staff/senior is a different skill set, and you should just shoot for it instead of thinking banging out code will get you there

Imagine not considering that physical attractiveness is really just health, and that raw IQ doesnt capture the full spectrum of quality of human thought.

its completely over for this field. anyone that doesnt think so has their head in the sand, we are 18 months out from the value proposition of a 50-85th percentile software engineer dropping to the floor

Personal opinion is that JetBrains products have gone down hill the last few years. Tons of memory leaks and performance issues. They are also way behind on the AI front, borderline obsolete in some areas. This is coming from someone who ha

Actually think this is an outdated opinion. It was true initially that writing your own was the correct approach, but that was because the proper abstractions had not been figured out. At this point, langgraph is the successor to langchain,

You also have to take into account how often equity that becomes valuable gets stolen through some sort of financial engineering. When real money is on the line, investors do not hesitate to change the rules of the game. Its a two part proc

Right but traditionally the difficulty in organizing people is solved with money. Just keep hiring until the product gets done. Thats what we saw here, OpenAI wanted 500 Billion! Reality is the money wasn't necessary, what they really

My personal opinion on society, is that many many businesses have massive inefficiencies and could be wiped off the map if people understood those weaknesses. But there is a culture of "that CEO is so smart, no chance you could compete

Youre missing something, it changes the type of labor required to produce working software, which results in a shift in wages. As an enterprising software engineer, its never been easier to strike out on your own. I do agree with you on tha

Its about the type of person now required to write software. You dont need some ultra math brain autist to write code if the LLM can do it with some human assistance from someone of much less ability. Coding may see more demand, but the ski

I'm not talking about ideas guys. I'm talking about if you spent 3 years on React, now I can just go use an LLM and start writing react as if I have 3 years experience. Same with AWS CDK deploying to Java lambda. I can just start

honestly, highly highly doubt this. there is nothing revolutionary in most engineering, and its even easier when the product is already robust and just needs to be maintained

Its not about generating a full app with AI. Its about the commoditization of coding as a skill set.

I really do think its basically over for most software engineers. There's obviously still challenges in writing code, but you can already get 80% of the way there, and with a senior engineer guiding a junior using genai, most peoples h
