Any required, installed software is a red flag for me. I've been working for an all-remote web shop for the last decade. They don't care what software we use to create our deliverables. It's our own software on our own hardwa

The specifications were vague because they were in prose, rather than a formal specification language, and written in an IDE with instant feedback, auto-complete, history and documentation. It took several days to turn around because it too

Strong disagree. GraphQL has given our dev teams huge leverage. It's similar to writing a page of HTML rather than the equivalent GUI code. That might not look helpful if you're already a GUI master, but it's a big productivi

Greater agency equals less need for free help from others. Less free help from others yields less gratitude. Greater power equals greater agency.

You're repeating "Automation is a myth" now in a context where there is no space constraint to writing "Full automation is a myth", or "AGI is a myth", either of which is supportable. To me that crosses ov

While the title says "Automation Is a Myth," the description immediately retreats to "full autonomy" and "universal automation" are mythical. Those are very different propositions. That motte and bailey maneuve

I have long opposed the EU data privacy regulations, but have to admit that this issue is an excellent result of those. It seems to actually have the potential of making the US security apparatus a bit more accountable. Hopefully it will al

The age distribution is as interesting as the sex distribution. I wouldn't have guessed that the peak is around 30 years. At 60 years I have an even shot at out-squeezing an 18 year old. I would have bet on the 18 year old.
