Gig workers are generally "commuting" all day and are much more likely to spend far more time not getting paid but still "working". So both cases are worth considering, but I don't think they are comparable.

I have absolutely removed SO from usage, replaced by chatGPT. Chatgpt, on average, is miles better than SO. So by deliberately trying to avoid GPT stuff, SO is only digging it's grave faster.

This is a Stupid Idea. Obvious things that will happen due to this: 1. High profile nicks get sniped and offered for ransom to the original owners. 2. Discord steps in on some high profile cases from #1 3. Everybody who lost a nick they car

I feel this advice ignores the most common scenarios in which one would need to give notice in the first place. If you want to a make a move, you interview, see if you get the position, then give notice. You're not going to want to giv

Everybody can have ideas, even people that aren't writers. A writer is a good at the translation from idea to paper, which is what LLMs are uniquely suited to assist. I have already used LLMs to publish my first book. Specifically, I u

It's probably more dangerous to predict they won't, at this point. The people that aren't seeing a compelling use case simply aren't looking.

Pain is just signals being processed by the brain, but it is the brain that feels the pain, right? It is evident if a brain can be created artificially (which certainly hasn't happened yet, but may one day), pain can be created in th

Where do you get the idea GPT can't create abstractions? And do you really believe it generates more boilerplate than the average SWE? The more comments I read on HN regarding GPT stuff, the more I realize that many people are willing

Based on your statement, I feel you haven't used GPT based code much. The code it generates is generally beautifully organized and commented. Sure, it can be flat out wrong, but it is always eminently readable. Self-documentating code
