Why not a single word about competition with other companies? Even before AI ElasticSearch got smashed by Amazon with their own product. Now with AI "translation", they don't even care about license.

So much for human replacement. Map it to a workplace: - Hey Joe, why did you stop adding code diff to your review requests? - Most reviewers find it simpler. You can always run tcpdump on our shared drive to see what exactly was changed. -

It's also age. According to CDC, mean age at first birth: 27.5. I wanted more kids but was hit with an auto-immune in my mid-30s, so the choice becomes no more kids or high risk of a disabled kid/fatal outcome for both of us. Mean

No, it copied some relevant parts of every framework code, shifting burden of design, maintenance, debugging and polishing all corner cases to your shoulders. Why wouldn't you clone frameworks code into your repository, removing parts

There are two extremes and spectrum in between: * AI can replace knowledge workers - most of existing software engineers, managers of all levels will loose their job and have to re-qualify. * AI requires human in the loop. In the first scen

Following this logic, why not move further left? Become a CTO, CEO or even a venture investor. "Here's $100K worth tokens, analyze market, review various proposals from Agents, invest tokens, maximize profit". You know why no

What's the point of changing the license? It will be scrapped anyway. 'The only winning move is not to play' - stop contributing to OSS.

Ownership problems with pointer/references don't end with allocation. A codebase can use only std::make_unique() to allocate heap, and still pass around raw pointers to that memory (std::unique_ptr::get()). The real problem is dat
