This is not a problem that needed to be solved by satellites. It is a failure of US politics that rural areas don't have broadband. We didn't need some private company to put satellites into low earth orbit for someone to watch a

Think. You don't even need to dig. We have myriad wireless internet solutions. We did not need to send satellites into space to fix this problem in a far more cost effective way.

As long as we're pointing out things that don't make sense: A long time ago in the United States we decided to run electricity _everywhere_, even farmhouses in the middle of nowhere. The solution to broadband in the United States

The cameras have had leaps if you're talking about that kind of timescale. Otherwise, I mostly agree.

It's not a new thing to bring up that OTel is difficult to get correct. This was a criticism levied before the AI era.

I don’t like the name of the product.

Apropos of nothing: I hate that they used my name for their product.

I am with you on speakers on a nature hike, but I think the line blurs a bit in a city context. As long as it's not extremely loud, I find it slightly more difficult to hate on the person playing some music and moderate volume while tr

About as powerful a quote as "Even some Beatles fans think X album is 'style over substance'." Who cares? Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to crank up Vordhobsn and write some code.

My observation is that some of the time what people are picking up on is that a conversation is not the interface they want for examining their problem.

In the real world, not all problems decompose nicely. In fact, I think it may be the case that the problems we actually get paid to solve with code are often of this type.

I see you took a downvote. I'm not sure why. I think it's a reasonable question to be asking oneself generally, though perhaps the way you've asked it implies catastrophic near-term collapse, which I don't think is likel

That is an interesting (and surprisingly accurate) way of framing it.

It can be both. For many, AOL was their onboarding platform for the chaotic internet at large. It served that purpose well.

What irks me about so many comments in this thread is that they often totally ignore questions of scale, the shape of your workloads, staffing concerns, time constraints, stage of your business, whether you require extensions, etc. There is

> No one claims that good type systems prevent buggy software. But, they do seem to improve programmer productivity. They really don’t. How did you arrive at such a conclusion?

Your claim that most people (even "normies") are using LLMs is just an offshoot of the inevitability nonsense. Most people _aren't_ using LLMs.

Hard to argue with such a pragmatic conclusion! I think the difficulty I have is that I don't think it's all that straightforward to assess how it is exactly that I came not just to _learn_, but to _understand_ things. As a result

Does that mean you don't think you learned anything valuable through the experience of working through this complexity yourself? I'm not advocating for everyone to do all of their math on paper or something, but when I look back o

I'm more pessimistic. It costs too much to go back to college and retrain. The result is going to be a generation of ambitious people doing a craft they hate. The results are going to be dismal.

The current environment is in some ways indistinguishable from COVID. The uncertainty of AI, forced RTO, and processions of layoffs have produced a terrible environment for retaining people who have the means to do literally anything else.
