Labels are good, they help categorize and provide perspectives. Just try to have many of them not one or two :D

“In producing textiles but has there been actual positive impact in other sectors?” I’m sure the Industrial Revolution didn’t just happen all at once, it started somewhere and crept.

In case the don’t reply I’m betting it was when they changed their API and broke a lot of existing hardware that took a long time to get working right again.

Aren’t you just making their point stronger? Effort is what is being replaced here, with some taste and a pile of AI (formerly effort) you can go to the moon.

I’m not discounting you feeling this way but this argument feels performative or virtue signaling in the same way I’ve had to deal with people making the same argument about “I don’t have kids because children ruin the planet, we all should

I was a coach the last two years for this and I found the FIRST program to not be productive or enjoyable for the children or the adults. We all joined for the robotics but 75% of your score is not about robotics, fully 50% is about displa

I think you’re both right but missing a bigger issue which is the implication that these provided tokens are what the developers will use to develop with, at work “to be more productive”. That’s extra savage, today your work provides you a

I wish this were always an option, I just want the bullet point list, not the 80% filler copy.

In my experience (of friends who drink and/or smoke weed) weed isn’t replacing drinking wine, it’s replacing drinking beer and booze.

As an alternative perspective I found no good decaf coffee. I tried maybe 8 different coffees, all very well regarded, very hipster, none came close to creating good pour-over coffee. I admit it’s all about expectations but if you’re curr

“It might be true for now…” “As soon as…” “It’s just a matter of time…” I find myself in this type of discussion with AI maximalists where they balk at me suggesting there isn’t much “I” in “AI” and they get upset that I’m not seeing how sm

Every person I’ve ever met who espouses “crypto” sounds like they’re in a cult trying to recruit new members. I can’t recall meeting a person who uses crypto who when asked about it (if they didn’t bring it up first) treated it like “oh, y

Wow I’ve wanted this for so long and it was impossible to do previously. At $30/yr and $8/mo I’ll write my own app though.

I describe this as the Artist vs Scientist software engineer. I’m also an “artist” and approach the problem as a ball of clay, hacking away at it (and sometimes starting with a new ball) until the solution appears beneath my hands. The Sc

You can see the headlines though “Apple skirts interoperability law by deprecating API after only one year”. Maintaining a public API is a cost usually only taken in because it has a benefit to the company.

“You need to know…” do you need to know though? I agree I need to know the things to work in a mature codebase or make something maintainable in the long run but to bang out a get rich quick project? Probably not.

Consider actually traveling, I’ve been to two different countries recently and one had protests about tourists and the other had shirts. The next two I’m looking at going seem to be similarly hostile.

I would add one thing my family has complained about wrt road trip charging is it’s not just the time you wait to charge, it’s the time and games/anger dealing with all the people in line waiting to charge.

Realistically there would be a non-zero cost to allowing this, tech support, or compliance issues, or even PR issues when somebody’s modified hardware does something bad. So few people actually care or want this, it doesn’t feel like a fig

But at the FAANGy companies I’ve worked at this issue persists. Mobile engineers working on 3yo computers and seeing new hires compile 2x (or more) faster with their newer machines.

I went with Uplift desks which are not $150 but certainly sub $1000. I think what I was paying for was the stability/solidity of the desk, the electronics and memory and stuff is probably commodified.
