Oh I am not speaking from experience here, I'll clear that up. Also the original saying used rich people but I think it better pertains to busy people in general.

I often turn to the saying "Rich people don't talk to robots". Time poor people want things done for them not by them. The agency of action needs to be delegated. Just because Flight Centre can automatically line up your flig

They can purchase the battery technology, just as many manufacturers already do. I hate to be a luddite, but they also don't need to be pioneers to succeed here. They need cars that meet their customers needs, just like not every ICE c

They still fail in the real world, where a single failure can be highly consequential. AI coding is lucky it has early failure modes, pretty low consequence. But I don't see how that looks for an autonomous management agent with arbitr

I think that's the issue Meta had, they were trying to introduce VR to the greater public. VRs actual community is a niche of individuals who love the technology, they didn't want what Horizon was offering. VRChat is too weird for

Do they need one do you think? They are trying to make one for sure but it's interesting to think about whether they actually need their own models to survive the shift. Maybe they just deliver other people's models via Meta produ

They already hold a lot of the debt for the AI investments, is my understanding. I guess they could pay it back and not spend it.

I don't disagree with your first statement but there is a huge range of cars in the Japanese market. They make the Toyota Land Cruiser and Nissan Patrol after all, smaller by American standards but the biggest cars most other countries

You don't get that many iterations in the real world though, and if one of your first iterations is particularly bad you don't get any more iterations.

I'm a bit of a fence sitter so I might actually be their target market. Very athletic, a bit health concious but not crazy about it in regards to diet. If I am eating out, usually my macros are not a big part of decision making. If the

I agree, taste, story and art direction will continue to cohere into successful games. Studios making high volume shallow games never had these, and they probably don't want them just because AI showed up. They are filling a specific d

It will show in your game, and I think that will also continue to translate into a better chance at success even in such a swamped market. Maybe even because it's such a swamped market, players will value the games made with passion.

I had the same issue where startup cost was a pain to get little prototypes going. I reduce the cost by making re-usable components. Even if I don't intend to reuse something I still make it a component-esque manner. It helps that I mo

I agree, in the current ecosystem games are abundant but it's still not easy to find the diamonds in the rough. Trust signals are going to be quite influential going forward, and that will get exploited too. I think we're going to

I think you are right, deep understanding of systems and domains will not become obsolete. I forsee some types of developers moving into a more holistic systems design and implementation role if coding itself becomes quite routinely automat

Thst is definitely one tell, the hand rolled input parsing or error handling that people would never have done at their own discretion. The bigger issue is that we already do the error checking and parsing at the different points of abstrac

I did initially doubt the usefulness of viewing the paintings and embroidery in 3D, but then I spun this around and the back of the board is interesting as well. https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search&#x2F

I think the free market response is that another vet with fair prices will show up, but A) that's a waste of everyones time and very inefficient and B) a real grass roots business takes time and passion, somebody to start it, buy in fr

There are many reasons why we are seeing cuts economically, but the fact that it is possible to make such large cuts is because there were way too many people working at these companies. They had so much cheap money that they over-hired, no

It's not a pure dichotomy though. I have always been both, and slowly mixing in agentic coding for work has left me some new headspace to do "trad" programming on side projects at home. I love the exciting ideation phase, I l

Yeah it's about support contracts, which covers a lot of services actually such as maintaining security audited package repositories. But most importantly it's about support life cycles you can rely on for a long term investment o

I actually think AI has an unfair advantage with software that is making it seem far more capable that it is. Software is entirely text based, and producers have been putting their outputs and problem solving online for free for decades. I

I can relate, I was really looking forward to settling into mentorship roles. However I am not quite so defeated, I think that developers will continue to find employment in tech even as AI augments the roles. Experienced developers are the

I bought a whole bunch of parts with my first Athlon. I think I bought a Soundblaster, and a Radeon GFX card if I am remembering the timeline right. The soundblaster came with a demo of a Lara Croft game that used the then incredible spatia

As the benefactor of an extremely rare disease, it's not exactly unfair when you look at it from a societal view. If you solve a higher probability problem, you are helping far more people. The real tragedy isn't the allocation of

I think this could be the key difference in how people are experiencing the tools. Using Claude in industries full of proprietary code is a totally different experience to writing some React components, or framework code in C#, PHP or Java.
