A very mediocre team that does not rise to the occasion (aka fails at delivering) probably will look bad for management and will be sidesteps (aka outsourced) if not fully replaced.

adb is indeed useful. I can use adb inside a HyperV Win11 guest OS and have it communicate to my Host Win11's Windows Subsystem for Android and run test android apps in the host OS. I like this approach as it doesn't pollute my

This is where AI agents will shine as you give it the test cases it needs to meet and it will write the code to that specification AND verify those through writing unit tests, executing the code then verifying the results. English as a prog

I don't recall the source, but when people read, they typically only remember 20% of what they read (or heard?). Machine training encodes much more than 20%, so it is much closer to copying than training. Now the emergent abilities t
