I lol'd at this quote from the original McKinsey article: > For example, one company found that its most talented developers were spending excessive time on noncoding activities such as design sessions or managing interdependencies

Not only did this man DESERVE to be arrested, but Brad Pitt himself should be arrested for the MURDER of the World War Z source material by his boring movie. /s This was an absolutely insane case, and I'm glad it at least ended wi

The fallacy you are falling victim to, which is common in these debates, is comparing an LLM teacher to a human teacher as a 1-1 replacement, when really you need to be comparing an LLM teacher to what a child has today outside of access to

Here we go again, a lot of comments saying the giant ball of knives is too dangerous. I work with the giant ball of knives every day, wrapped in my custom-tailored full-body kevlar bubble, and I barely ever have any catastrophic life-threat

> You cannot convince me otherwise. A classic sign of a logically sound and definitely not at all emotionally-charged position. Should anyone who has ever hyperbolically referred to police as "nazis" or said sarcastically that

I think this is a trap a lot of people fall into: assuming that in ChatGPT solutions that have business value, ChatGPT output is delivered directly to a customer. While that may be true in some cases (e.g. companies that produce cheap blog

Well I guess that ends the debate then. ChatGPT: not even as good as MapQuest. Checkmate, OpenAI.

That's a good start. You also need bake in the fact that 20% of the people will ignore this system and attempt to exit out of order because they're in a rush / they are "important" / they don't give a flip

This! I wonder if it's a language difference thing (I use C# mostly), but my experience with Copilot has been nothing short of mind-blowing. It's not writing every line, and when writing truly new feature code it's less usefu

While the benefits of remote work are impossible to deny, something is obviously lost. In-person collaboration is just an order of magnitude richer than remote collaboration. I think the argument that the benefits of remote work outweigh th

Ha, I actually love that analogy! I will neither confirm nor deny whether I've eaten ramen dry from the package before... I really didn't mean any offense, so I apologize. I was just trying to find an analogy for a feeling that I&

I'm just curious -- what specific issues have you had with Copilot? I use it constantly (probably accepting a suggestion for every few seconds of typing), to the point where I'm starting to just not think about it anymore like I p

"Rejected" by Don Hertzfeldt is one of my all-time favorite shorts. I've probably watched it over 50 times over the past couple decades.

I'm glad you have a toolset that works for you. To each their own! But I swear as an IDE user, when non-IDE users try to describe to me how their toolset is just as good as an IDE ("most of the same capabilities in a different for

No offense to the article author, but this is written like someone who has either never used a good IDE, or never learned how to really effectively leverage a good IDE (mastering all features, memorizing keyboard shortcuts, adjusting config

Disagree. Think of any example that includes the configuration of a secret like an API key. Typically you see something like "<API key>" or "xxx-your-api-key-xxx" that signals to the user that they need to input a

Unfortunately this is just about as useful as economic theories that rely on perfectly rational consumers. Good on paper, worthless in the face of human nature.

I'd say it's more like defensive driving techniques. They are not guaranteed to save you from a wreck in all situations, but they maximize your chances of getting the best outcome possible. But still, sometimes you just get t-bone

Cheating is bad, full stop. These kinds of unethical people likely contribute to a toxic team culture, back-stabbing and acting in bad faith to get ahead. But if you've designed your interview process in a way that can be easily beaten

Gross. I hope this is parody. You seem to have taken the article's point of taking FINANCIAL risks to a company's bottom line, and perverted it to justify killing a few of your customers for the sake of a beta test. Why not go for

This is the "CEO of a consulting company" equivalent of clickbait. Generate headlines and interest from potential customers for free. And then nobody follows up when it never happens or is a complete disaster internally. Self-driv
