Sure there is. Nobody cares about quality, mvp and get to market first is what counts. AI means there is more reason for software to be slow, because it creates code more quickly and with poorer quality.

They really need to start marketing a new series of models specifically for coding. Even if it's the same model underneath, just call it something else and make it sound like some turbo coder that can run circles around claude and make

What are you doing exactly? Building railroads? Tech is meetings and coding.

I didn't say I have 0 interest in the job. I like the job. I said I don't care about the product, you seem to be conflating the two.

You can schlep to the office every day and contort yourself into a freedom mindset and I'll work remote with my natural mindset. We can both be happy.

I'm sure there are great friendships among slaves and prisoners too, that doesn't mean you should be thankful to be one.

It's like being taken hostage with people who are pretending to like it. Meanwhile some of them have personal lives so bad or they're so afraid of being alone that they genuinely do like it.

I've never been the first to be let go. It turns out if you do valuable work, people notice that and want to keep you around. On the other hand, when I had jobs based on a personal connection, it was almost the opposite. I was treated

Being able to work remotely is like being sentenced to prison and then finding a get-out-of-jail-free card. I always strive to do my best at work and make a good impression. But I have absolutely 0 interest in the product, the mission, the

It's neither. If you accept and approve of people wearing their pants around their knees, its a fashion evolution. If you think pants should cover your ass, it's just poor behavior. Analogous to the use of language.

No, some usage is just wrong, even if many people are doing it.

LLMs are to intelligence as Brazilian butt implants are to butts. Worrying that the first is going to replace the second is a misunderstanding of what these things are.

It means the stakes are higher for individuals. The coding task is easier because of ai, but because fewer people are going to review it you have more responsibility for it. You can't push out slop that "should work" or &quot

The whole point of using AI is to generate more code more quickly. If you cant keep up, then step out of the way. Some people think being a reviewer is a privileged position. Well now you've got your work cut out for you. Ultimately th

Bad idea, the AI hype train still has some gas, when it settles in that it's just another tool it's all going to fizzle out.

His innovation has been to show that you don't need to make a product that works or makes sense. You just need to make products that get oceans of fools excited and get 30% of the way there. By that point you've locked in their ch

There no feasible escalation path for the US. Trump has alienated allies and much of his anti war supporters. A forever war quagmire in a country 3x larger than Iraq is unlikely, as is carpet bombing. So what's left? A JCPOA style agre

Your strongest example should be good enough. So far you've got 1) flights between Venezuela and Iran 2) whitehouse.gov. Even if Trump's Whitehouse was a good source and you took it at face value, most of the items in that list ar
