Your question kind of answers itself with the filter of "tech companies". If you asked broadly about successful companies, the answer would be more apparent. But an answer to your question would be Capital One.

We have monthly presentations at my job and the business folk are really leaning into AI. The biggest win so far are them being able to generate new user experiences and get them into figma by themselves. They're able to test a design,

That sounds pretty fishy, but in my head, that's what an economy is. There aren't a lot of new inputs into the system. It's just a circulatory system of value moving around. The only new inputs would be things like mines, oil

It's "ironic?" considering Tesla launching in China is what created the necessary supply chain to turn BYD into the powerhouse it is today. Tesla's greed will become their own demise.

Yup, the only way to combat this as a smalltime dev would be to turn off auto updates and make people build from source.

I know a lot of teachers are reverting back to handwritten papers. People can generate it but at least you're doing something.

My company behaves similarly to Amazon and we drop the bottom % performers every year via PIP. IDK if this is what Amazon did with this layoff but it's probably intentional churn.

For a Linux user, you can already build such a system yourself quite trivially by getting an FTP account, mounting it locally with curlftpfs, and then using SVN or CVS on the mounted filesystem. From Windows or Mac, this FTP account could b

Not sure what's gonna happen to them of course, but C1 doesn't really layoff the entire team like that. They have a few acquisitions that merge in but often stay as their own business unit and have a fair amount of autonomy.

Selling as is helps a bit but it only covers regret returns. If the item is not as listed such as claiming to be new but the packing is opened, you're still obligated to accept a return

I feel like a mobile abode is the way to go. You'll eventually be found and there's no way to outlast a group forever. They'll find a way to cut your air or water. Get a land cruiser with a good tent and go fuck off in the mi

Funny the person you replied to mentioned an antique rifle and then you ranted about assault weapons while censoring yourself? Rifles are great for many things aside from roving bandits. First thing is that hunting is an excellent capabilit

I'm a luddite so forgive me when I ask this. How does the grid "waste" electricity to avoid overfilling?

Can you adjust the angle for different knives? I have one of these in my cart.

I think they are positing that LLMs do not produce new thought. If a new framework (super magic new framework) is released, current LLMs will not be able to help.

Most poor humans managed to store food for the winter prior to the industrial revolution avoid overeating and draining their stores. I'm sure the poor 2-3 job worker can meal prep with cheap easy meals.

It's just a sarcastic take. I wouldn't read into it too much. If it didn't make you grin like a goofball, it failed and you should just move on to the next comment.

I appreciate this viewpoint. Thanks for sharing.

I'm insulting myself. I'm describing what is my family dynamic.

Makes me wonder if that's some of the influence that different siblings get? The first born gets more ambition, the middle child chills, and the baby acts like a boomer. jk. Honestly, sounds like a great read!

Yeah, I went to school for computer science but I am in no way a scientist. I'm not doing research and I'm not innovating anything that I already hasn't been built. I'm just building it for who needs it. The space for in

My point lol. I think most devs, especially ones that call it a "craft, take themselves too seriously. We're glorified construction workers that get paid a lot

The one engineer in my life who cared about the craft of software development also refused to have a color profile pic and also did his zooms in black and white and thought Ruby was the only good programming language.

The Aztek was a joke pretty early on similarly to the the SSR ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevrolet_SSR ). Too quirky for it's own good. I thought it was cool especially with the cool camping tent but it was mos

I never really had a plan for a career but I never settled. I borderline almost did at my last job as it paid enough and I loved the people like family but the move from that job landed me in the most interesting and well paying job I'
