And thus they end up paying even more for badly engineered code

Right. The big misconception is that really good programmers just write code at 10x the speed of bad ones. Nope, the complete opposite in fact.

The most important result of quality in software is that it's faster to produce and cheaper. How are people defining quality? We're not building tables with the finest wood. Low quality ends up taking longer to build over the lo

My hunch is that the difficulty has moved, not reduced in practice. We make one layer easier and then another mountain lies at the layer above, just as hard.

I've watched dozens of people try to learn to code and fail, some definitely not for a lack of trying. Of those that did learn, only a fraction had the IQ or passion to be genuinely good at it. The difficulty of it has absolutely bee

next gen gaming consoles are going to be at or over $1k. Honestly I think they're dead in the water in these conditions

It's not hard.. unless you're also expected to know, and be learning 100,000 other things at the same time.

> lower taxation rates eh.. many western countries have comparable taxation rates. That's not true. Regardless it would be nice to have the choice to work 75% the hours for 75% pay. Not many jobs offer that, though. Everything in th

It's easy if you're employed by a reasonable company. Healthcare being so tied to your employer is so anti-labor it's unbelievable.

There's a good site for this: https://www.doesitplay.org/ Xbox is the worst about having a dependency on the internet to play your physical media.

Most physical games currently are fully playable offline: https://www.doesitplay.org/ What would stop me from playing it, outside of the hardware dying?

Oh with that I wasn't arguing the blog wasn't AI. I'm sure it is. My point there is that stating that any Pangram settles anything is a huge mark against the author's credibility

I'm now suspicious this author (had AI) built the blog they're referencing just so they could make claims against OpenAI.

> When I ran the message through Pangram, an AI content detector that credibly claims a near-zero false-positive rate, the email came back as “fully AI-generated.” Uh huh.. AI content detectors don't work. This article plays right

I think the big change was agents. The LLM improvements after that point have been relatively minor in impact.

Brain-computer interface, maybe. Hook a million play-testers up to the output and have it iterate. ..feels like there was a black mirror episode about that though

It's the flashy game/movie trailer equivalent for LLMs. Completely unrelated to the real experience, but good for marketing.

code quality helps you get to the final successful solution, keep it there and iterate on it faster and with less bugs . It's not just pretty indentation but yeah sure no value

that already happened. The early days of Facebook as a user were much different than what they became later on.

And by "they all" you're referring to the majority of whom come from third world countries? Sure, you're a step up from that.

How does any of this article have anything to do with America specifically? Getting off the ground with a small business in America stinks in a lot of ways. Taxes are high and health insurance is really expensive when you have to cover it
