This is needlessly embarrassing, seems like a small thing, but it makes them look... desperate?

Lord what stupid branding - needlessly so, as the functionality is not unreasonable.

You should call these folks/companies out by name, they aren't respecting you, your time, or situation.

I swear that so many AI usecases I see are: "I did not have the skill or realize that you can write a program for this obvious logic". I guess that works if you aren't a programmer or don't want to hire somebody, but the

IPO isn't really about "raising money for the company" any longer, unless one means raising the money in their wallets so they can take the money and run.

Yeah "work from home" largely means "work from more affordable real estate". Very very few people do I know who work from home do it for digital nomad type reasons. Everyone else is due to not being able to afford anyt

It's a solenoid that actuates each key press, for the sound and tactile feedback. It's something else, lol.

I think what matters is.... the person being intelligent. I do not mean this as an us vs them thing, but a LOT of companies have some not very smart people in and running them. It's never about exact skills or roles. My observation o

I'm in a similar situation but found that getting "computer glasses" made which use the near prescription (and are not for long distance) work well for this. (I run D&D as well lol) I could not handle multifocal at all,

It's one of those things: the world doesn't care (unless you are really attractive of course), so you'll have to choose: Do I want to put even more effort into this and/or fake it 'til you make it - or do I want to

> But the industry will fight hard to get people to keep paying the Claude tax. I bet this will ironically be couched in "safety" reasons or regulation to get anti-AI folks on board, even if it favors the large incumbents.

Same, but not sure it's his training and just the way his head works. Have met a lot of people in software who can't draw or understand (very) simple block diagrams of systems. Some people don't have an inner eye.

While people will do what they need for money, that is a miserable type of role and the quality of architect will suffer from that.

Yeah same, I'm definitely not applauding it, but it has felt like coming for a long time even before AI recently.

Sure but I think what people are actually concerned with today is China copying a product and dumping cheaply back in the country it was taken from. That scale and speed is not what was happening in the 19th century. I personally have litt

Ah I see thanks, wasn't familiar with that. That sounds like a stretch, as it wasn't that long a period from St Patrick until the reunification back into the Latin church

That is correct afaik, though there were serious disputes in Anglo Saxon Britain about these and other issues (mostly about 'leadership' of the church as in any human organization). I'm not sure if it warrants another color,

Yes it was, as since it was never part of Roman empire it developed from missionary activity, and even started its own monastic missionary activity back to North Umbria, Faeroes and apparently even Iceland.

It's different not in an apples to oranges way, it's like apples to dried squid. GIMP is/was very much an acquired taste and pretty tough to learn compared to modern UI standards. Photoshop is not perfect or easy, but it&#x2
