lets call that stage 2 when the labor/ai spend drops below 1.0, to understand what that might look like i would compare to surgeon model. so like $500k for a Surgeon to manage outcomes with 10x AI leverage. Arguments for: managers are

the investor bull case in AI is to cannabalize the labor markets at 15% margin, so 1:1 labor:AI budget is where we are headed next - e.g. $100k/100k for a senior dev. The AI share will come out of dev budgets, so expect senior salaries

i kinda think we should blame the youtube alg for this, the algs set incentives which shape behavior at scale, and it’s not like one can make a living doing actual physics these days

tech layoffs have nothing to do with AI; the business has realized that they are not getting the expected marginal increase in returns for marginal headcount expansion, and while historically layoffs can cause brand damage and need to be av

2000ms isn’t network latency, it’s the db query. Moving a slow query from the cloud (high compute, fast network under your control) to the client (low compute, unreliable network, not under your control) is not going to make it faster and y

as you point out so vividly, the speed of light is actually not a problem given you can ping across an ocean in sub 100ms (not a laser beam, actual packets through underwater pipes). 56ms is acceptable latency for realtime video

who said anything about designing for tight latency requirements? My argument is that, for Linear’s market - programmers and tech workers either in an office or working remotely near a city - the latency requirements are not tight at all re

it is my actual numbers from my house in the Philadelphia suburbs right now, 80 miles away from the EWR data center outside NYC. Feel free to double them, you’re still inside the 60hz frame budget with better than e-sports latency edit: I

non-relational, document oriented pubsub architecture based on MongoDB, good for not much more than chat apps. For toy apps (in 2012-2016) – use firebase (also for chat apps), for crud-spectrum and enterprise apps - use sql. And then React

actually if you live near a city the edge network is 6ms RTT ping away, that’s 3ms each direction, so if e.g. a virtual scroll frontend is windowing over a server array retained in memory, you can get there and back over websocket, inclusiv

the answer is always yes but the org pays the costs not the manager, and the manager isn't accountable to those costs, and the manager IS accountable and vulnerable to political costs
