In 2026 a Junior Engineer is just Claude Code with a bad UI, higher latency, and extra steps. Literally. I wouldn't even considering hiring a junior engineer at this point. The ROI was already barely breakeven for any but the top of

It's an extra 6 months or so, and it's almost certain a better solution won't be come available in that 6 months, and even if it did you are very close to death and unlikely to recover even if a miracle cure is developed. In

While it's a useful scientific achievement, and I am not second guessing any individuals decision, and any time is likely tempting to take if even to have time to make arrangements, this still only gives about 1 year survival on averag

Yea this is great advice: the people who actually know how to build machine intelligence should go read the notes of the people who literally had no idea how to do it. While they are at it, we should have NASA go read Jules Verne so they c

It looks like a chromebook running vim in a 50 point font. I can't wait to read 50 pages of how to do that!

You are just making the mistake of using two incompatible definitions of the word 'knowledge' here and then acting like it's a contradiction.

You don't remember a lifetime of smells. You don't have any memories from huge swaths of time. There are entire years of your life compressed down to vibes and a handful of events you largely misremember.

These libraries are not more human friendly. Humans can write GTK or win32 or QT or Cocoa code just fine. GUI frameworks are very complex and often have very in depth setup code that is required. It requires a huge investment to get an a

well I think C is just a bad Rust now so yes, I think everything is going to get rewritten in rust.

Don't listen to anyone who knows what should be done without proof. If someone 'knows' what agents 'need' then that knowledge is worth millions of dollars right now. If they haven't built it they are probably

I think AI coding has made these "we dumb down a real UI framework for you" libraries obsolete. Anyone can get a GTK or QT app up and running now. This isn't a criticism, they were very useful to build GUIs in the past, but

It's amazing how humble someone can pretend to be a couple days after the top investigative journalist in the country (maybe world) exposes them as a sociopath and there is an attempt to assassinate them. What I would not do if there w

Yea this is a stupid idea. Old laptops don't have good performance per watt compared to new servers once you factor in that they are many many times slower.

Their competitors caught up after about 3 years though. Gemini 2.5 was more or less awful vs even GPT 3/4. Models have more than one measure of quality so they don't cleanly totally order, but Gemini 2.5 was awful. Gemini 3.1 i

They were years ahead. They managed to generate competitors (Anthropic is OpenAI refugees) by alienating their own employees by being so dishonest and immoral when compared to their own founding principals and even legal documents. They

They have to focus on the distant future (where they are frankly unlikely to exist) because they are falling further and further behind in the immediate future. Their latest desperate bid for relevance is a plugin for Claude Code that uses

Apple has gone from a company with a long term vision of the future and their part in it to a quarterly financial report gradient climber. This is what happens to every company when it loses it's founder(s). They have enough money an

This seems like a reasonable analysis. One thing I think it neglects is the ability of people to adapt, and the fact that people don't adapt until forced to. For example, in many countries will provide shelters when conditions reach t

Life is too short to use SQL Server. I know people that use it will swear it's "not bad anymore" but yes it is.
