I think he's referring to contracting companies. Cheap software used to be outsourced to India, but it's now getting outsourced to AI. Companies that produce novel things are still hiring, often to manage agents and review output.

I would argue the average code quality of LLM's today is much higher than pre-AI code quality. It's better documented, more readable, and has fewer bugs. There was a brief period where frontier models were still worse than the ave

> if you're trying to minimize labor getting more of the share while preserving existing profit, you reduce overhead elsewhere This is my point, rephrased. Unions argue for workers, thus hurt the overall product. If a union holds a

It’s cool to see rust join C++, C#, and typescript as primary engineering languages. Confusingly there are no tier 2 or 3 languages, just tier 1 at Microsoft

It is the central thesis of unions; unions represent workers, not the product. When you do more for workers (ie making it harder to let them go, striking, increasing benefits, etc) this comes at the cost of the product. But that's just

This is my immediate thought too; feels like the final nail on the coffin for Blizzard. Unions exist to benefit workers at the expense of product, and if they're already not producing leading class games then not being able to fire low

Which will pose an interesting problem; we’ll have to pay a subscription to legally be allowed to drive our car on the road. As much as I’m excited for autonomous driving I’m not excited for the legal implications that follow

It makes me happy to see they'll continue to exist in an organization that benefits from their success. I really enjoy Tailwind and I feel terrible for the people in the company who watched their revenue plummet like that with the adve

Fair enough, the apostrophe was incorrect. Everything else you said feels a bit ignorant though, if you want to live in a world where women are banned from working that's your opinion but I will disagree with you.

There's an irony those unions have supported the very politicians who brought the Hindus over who request the women be removed. People forget western culture is a unique culture, and could easily be supplanted. As others have pointed o

Ironic, I'm upset that I'm still writing code like it's 2016. I've been pushing hard for AI tools, and I've convinced management that it's a good idea but now they're playing "favorite company" a

Dow/classified projects can still be pretty old school. Our company hasn’t really done much on the AI front yet although I’m pushing hard to change that.

Fascists are, by definition, socialist. You cannot be a free market fascist, because then the party wouldn't have power and the people wouldn't have a shared direction to move. Calling any modern figure on the right a fascist is a

People fawn over AI brands now like cars and it's silly. OpenAI and Anthropic have been flipping spots for best LLM coder for the last two years and to say one is better feels silly; I've been using them both and they're very

I would not call it irresponsible. If you have a big, long running project you're going to want to develop complex pipelines and build processes to help with development and testing. This will save a lot of time and create a more consi

This is a post about beef being recalled. Broadly though, the belief that "current X politician from Y party is the worst, most corrupt politician ever" is a childish belief. I've heard it said about every president and high-

I've always felt bad for windriver; they do a lot of good work and there are clear benefits but because linux is free people keep moving away from their products. It's cool to see them doing more RISC-V stuff though

I think that's similarly in line with software; you don't really know the limitations of a library until you use it, and see that it fails for X reason at 10Hz, or 1000Hz.
