Yeah it's understandable. About a year ago there was a "Show HN" post (can't find it now) and the SteamDB guy won the internet that day. He went into details on how running SteamDB wasn't much of a trouble and it wa

Not really sure if this was your intention, but you're making a very compelling argument to keep teaching a "moral code" in schools, churches and homes.

> The lead-off argument here seems more like "interacting with society can be bad". The argument is that there's no need for that much social interaction to produce quality code, quite the contrary, the more social interac

It's good you can isolate yourself from it. But there's plenty of cases. Open source maintainers being harassed or being demanded work through Github's issues. Or being feed AI slop to review endlessly. Or recruiters filteri

I understand that but I think it's in direct proportion of the money being raised, spent and thrown around, including the price tag, to replace such engineers. The more money you ask for, the wilder the claim needs to be.

I'm quite a bit older than that, so no. But I 100% get your point.

Leaving AI completely aside, it still amazes me that people finds "novel" the idea of removing highly-paid white collar intellectual workers (software developers or otherwise) completely out of the loop. No-code platforms date bac

I guess it depends on your definition of "too much", but also on your definition of "thinking". What I've found is that LLMs are excellent tools for: - Spitting out white collar corporate speak that sounds plausible

Those metrics are hugely misleading because they account for current fiscal year revenue and margins . For Xbox being what it is today, which is mostly about the subscription and not the hardware console or the exclusives, you have to comp

Painfully accurate. I've been "the engineer", "the new engineer", Mario and/or Luigi at some point in my career. I can attest, this kind of behavior is pervasive across the industry.

The reason why this won't work is right there, in the original link itself. They're allowing comments and obviously the first thing there is a scam. No way any goodwill on the Internet is going to prosper. Not anymore.

Matches my experience. Hard science may not have that many maximalists. Applied science and technology (electrical, electronics, computer science, even mechanical), I've found plenty. What got me out of academia (yup, I was a professor

Well, as would be expected of the 1% of brilliant-mind CS professors. As for the remaining 99%, maybe they should stop pretending they know (and giving advice) about navigating a typical production code base.

And I welcome the change. In my long experience in academia, I've only found two types of practitioners: 1% are the absolutely brilliant minds that academia was originally created for. People that, without a doubt, leave their mark in

Most of the general, watered down tone of Corporate America that we love to hate comes from the legal department, usually at the late-stage point when they make all the decisions in a company: product, business, launches, strategy, directio

Agree. I think that the complaint is about the dominating narrative in every radio channel you could possible pick from. It's similar to the "old Internet" argument: it's still there, but buried in layers and layers of

Your guess is not wild at all, and the article implies that (at least until the payment popup shows up) My grandmother used to grow her own vegetables and fruits and had a minimal chicken farm for eggs until the early 2000s, all in her regu

I agree it's not "entitlement" specifically but there's something there. I guess by now everyone has experienced that type of person that "tries to help" by copy/pasting a bunch of AI slop and expecting

I'm from the times when you had to purchase a separate chip to perform floating point math. It was called a math co-processor. [1] After a few generations (and over a decade) that was indistinguishable from the CPU chip itself. It&#x

I agree, as I was one of them. Rightfully so, because PHP 20 years ago was the prime example of a complete disaster. Not just occasionally, there were long years of incompatibility, missing implementations, incoherent errors, security issue

Same as with the "good internet". It's still out there, only under layers and layers of mediocre and/or terrible stuff nobody has the time to go through.

Agreed. Also Lars Von Trier is objectively not involved in this (only in Dogma 95, which this is "based on").

Invariably, this "simpler life" type of reasoning is unmistakably the product of an urbanite. There's nothing romantic in progress-adverse, ostracized, uncivilized lifestyles. There's only a small subset of people that w
