I have a solution but I don't think companies care about this level of meta-analysis on how people work together. They think they do but in reality they just care about optics, and the status quo culture has a huge weight on continuing

I can see that, but then what's really broken is the education system. If what you say is true that means there is no such thing as being a specialist, at least not anymore, yet almost all universities train people to be specialists. E

That's precisely why programmers become programmers. It baffles me that tech careers put most on a leadership track when people study CS for many years for a reason. Why would I want to throw those technical skills away.

This is one of the main reasons I'm trying to pivot away from a career inside a corporate environment. There is too much politics. I wish it was just do the work and go home, and get rewarded for the work that was completed, but instea

I'm not convinced there is a missing part. It's hard to summarize but to use a metaphor, it's like wanting a self-driving car that crashes sometimes to go faster and faster. The missing piece is just the AI figuring out what

I never thought about this but JP fonts probably need thousands of glyphs? Creating new fonts must be brutal.

Love Strudel, trying to learn it but inevitably you also need some musical foundation. It's a fascinating blend of specialties. Also I found AI is complete garbage at generating Strudel. Here is my weak attempt at Beethoven: <pre&g

This is hard to explain succinctly but the method of how each individual works should be more or less a black box to the company. Moving away from this comes increasingly at the expense at employee privacy and should obviously result in mor

Let's clarify, this isn't about whether the models are capable. They are very capable and impressive. This is more about whether we can use the same type of metric we use for humans to compare and conclude if they are "intell

The difference is that humans don't memorize petabytes of problems, so from a relative perspective people are constantly solving novel problems they never saw before. I'm thinking this is a requirement for dynamic, few-shot learni

AI is the best teacher, short of a 1:1 with an actual human teacher. You can literally learn almost anything, and it's at the very least a starting point, and then you ask it for the best books to continue with. For people that like le

I've gone back to using plain JS for client side. The standards have improved enough that nothing else is needed. There is just a very small initial building of the app layout but it pays off because it's tailored to the solution.

Right, I can see how using an agentic system like that would go a long way. However there is a distinction between using AI models directly, and architecting a system in the context of this conversation, because it means the limitations of

Well, if it replaces all engineers, then I'm not up to date on the capabilities of the state of the art. So far I've just used the available commercial models. I quickly hit walls when I try to push its limits even a little. In th

I think we're going to see a negative impact on the software industry thanks to the LLM hype. There is a metric of LLMs which is hard to measure, and that is something like the quality of the solution, which includes how well the probl

Interesting, but after a quick read I don't see the paper addressing the possibility that the dynamical states can be first simulated by machines and that an AI consciousness would be embedded in such simulation. The paper only address

The biggest problem that I see, is the vagueness of the employer-employee contract. You get hired for a specific job, but in practice employers always demand more and more, and they know they are leveraging the fact that it's hard and&

More or less yes, but not necessarily because AI is taking over as much as companies taking what AI can do and evolving the role of web developer/engineer into something that is a hybrid and contains many disciplines. This has been hap

It's Conway's Law. Companies ship their orgs, and the people shaping the org are not approaching it with CS fundamentals. This means they will slice and dice the domain according to some arbitrary, probably business driven, criter

In every language you can take 100 LOC and compress them into less than half if you abstract it and optimize it. What I mean is that LOC doesn't tell you much about your software, but there is a a point where there is probably a lot of

The issue with current AI train hype in general is the gap between a cool demo and thinking that it means you can prompt anything just because the demo worked. This is really obvious with images or video. There are some amazing examples, be
