Maybe I've become cynical and jaded, because when I saw the title I immediately thought to myself "oh, Cloudflare's announcing a layoff."

I don't think most software engineers have to worry about dying of industrial accidents and black lung... Long hours? Sure, but that's not new (or universal), and AI definitely didn't cause it.

The mistake they made was allowing visitors to trigger the generation of articles via visiting any arbitrary URL. A more resilient concept would have been, have a few "seed" articles in place, and then only allow for the creation

You're comparing paying $20 for an AI plumber to paying hundreds/thousands for a traditional plumber. But that's not what the author is talking about in that passage you quoted. What he's saying is that, if you can pay $

Your logic is flawed because, a thing can improve for an infinite amount of time while never surpassing a certain limit. It's called an asymptote. That being said, I don't even think that arguing about this from a mathematical per

Git itself is kind of a fundamentally computationally inefficient way to store and retrieve information. If the problem to solve were simply "store and version this text", 14 billion commits in a year would not even be considered

Yes the inclusion of children does change things, in that it makes choosing red even more obvious. The problem is posed to the world. You have children, and they ask you what they should do. You tell them to pick red because you're the

Really lovely designed website. Though I get the sense that, typically the easiest way to learn how to play a game, is to walk through actually playing the game. Listing out a bunch of facts about how the game works is mostly just confusing
