Nice perspective on languages in the AI era. I think AI should be used to build best performing and highly scalable software systems.

Imagine a situation where AI creates thousands of lines of code in a few repos and there is a Production issue and does get resolved by AI. How can humans jump in and resolve the bug without knowing anything about the code ?

He inflated the market on purpose for longer than needed. Every economist was screaming to stop and he also played games during elections by lowering interest rate when it was not needed. This only resulted in rates being higher for longer.

All H1B salaries are posted online. First of thats the law. Google , Facebook etc all post salaries of every H1B application. The salaries are always in top 5% of Software engineering salaries. You are making stuff up or ignorant of H1B

Trump’s EO - 100K H1B applies only to applicants from India, which is what Indian IT companies mainly focus on. Those who are in US or students on F1 visa are exempted and American companies like Amazon or FB or Google hire students or ex

Trump's EO is crafted to hurt only Indian IT companies like Infosys, Wipro etc. American companies are more or less excluded from the EO.

H1B is used to hire the best talent that gets paid big bucks as well as cheap talent that is paid less. Both are true. It depends on the company. I haven't seen Google or FB or Amazon or other top tech companies pay H1B any less. They

Kids make friends pretty easily when they go to school and later college. Only after graduating college it becomes very hard to make friends. So one solution is have folks attend classes in schools and universities or even local libraries d

I totally agree. Trusting the LLM means, you are not thinking anymore and are happy with the high level ideas you had before you started coding, which may be incomplete. Missing pieces will be missed until you see issues in Production and I

LLMs are doing more than that. They are doing so much that I have seen bad ideas creeping into the code base. I used to trust some engineers code, but with introduction of LLMs, I am working more on code reviews and unable to trust signific

A company's fiduciary duty is towards shareholders, which forces a mindset where Employees fiduciary duty should be towards themselves. People will Unionize or create laws where companies's fiduciary duty should be towards both em

They all want GPUs and they are all trading off engineers for GPUs. That seems to be the culture right now :)

I am not a fan of Modi and I don’t want him to get re-elected. He is an autocrat and favors a select few. His party is as corrupt as any other party. But I suspect the timing of this ? Why now, when this happened so long ago. ( before he

Misleading title ? Its Global emissions caused by “electricity generation”. Power generation is 25% of overall global emissions.. so this is about 73% of the 25%.

I am not sure how this is perceived as attack ? Sending electrical signals doesn't have to mean attack by default. Pollination happens via bees.. then the fruit grows to attract birds or animals who eat them and spread the seeds throug

Standardized tests scores help students irrespective of the high schools they went or grades they got. Getting rid of them means eliminating common testing standards. How will that lead to equality ?

From what i read so far from their website, there are fundamental flaws in Google’s approach to this technology. They are not defining any core experiences at all but leaving them open.. eg.1) Skip song by swiping sleeve.. 2) take picture b

I think insurance companies have a role to play here. They should refuse coverage when driver is not operating the vehicle 100% of the time. To them it is two drivers splitting responsibility. Insurance/ law enforcement must demand ad

Well, You have grown comfortable with double standards , somehow equating China with rest of world. Please spend sometime questioning that delusion. China is NO WAY QUALIFIED to question any country ! Western decency has been exploited by C
