Given you are happy to work say 60 hours a week, what is the optimal use of the extra 20. For some it might be free work for their employer in return for something. Example might be in financial trading etc. to get a bonus or raise or promo

Wordpress (or whatever) The make sure internet archive archives you! Honestly it has been a godsend for repairing broken Stackoverflow links! Now I reread about state actors… I am not sure about that. There is a balance between can it be r

Possible but maybe 2060-2100. The big rub with LLMs is training time and methodology. RAG exists because despite the name, these AI systems cannot really learn, at least human level stuff.

What is the parallel advice for a 40 year old? I guess the programming and tinkering stuff still applies. But university cannot be redone. Sure I can study but I wont have any connection to most young people. I’ll be the old guy. And this a

It depends a lot on company culture but ideally talk to a decent sample size of the employees across teams and find their perceived pain points. Then measure things: time to build locally, time for CI, time for tests to run, release frequen
