More accurately: Cost cutting is having a comeback. Rails was built for the last cost-cutting era, so it seems relevant again.

Again, offshoring normally implies that there are workers still in an "onshore" office. This has traditionally failed because the workers in the "onshore" office didn't know how to bridge the gap with the workers in

Of course it is reasonable. But it is equally reasonable for workers, as a condition of employment, to be able to work remotely. Everyone gets to choose what they want for themselves. If an agreement can't be made... Oh well.

A wage is debt, so not beneficial in and of itself. It can be beneficial when you call the debt and turn it into something tangible (e.g. food), of course, but that is also of benefit to the business who derives joy in giving you that food.

It seems they failed either because: 1. The businesses didn't know how to handle the workers not being in the office. While a problem in the past, this is now a solved problem thanks to COVID forcing them to figure it out. 2. The busin

Not quite. Extortion is defined by introducing force. A strike is defined by withdrawing force.

by randomdata 2y ago
Extortion is defined by action (e.g. threat of violence). A strike is defined by inaction (the workers quit working).

Like how subroutines are implemented as Functions. And by Functions you don't mean functions, but rather the letters fn? That is certainly an interesting way to communicate.

Yes, technically it is closer to (T | null) & {__tag: K}, but the context where "equivalent" is used is clearly about practical usage. Option<T> is most similar to T | null in code people actually write on a normal basis

At the end of the day an LLM is just a compiler anyway. The developer isn't going away even if 100% of the code is generated by LLMs, just as the developer didn't go away when we stopped spending our days flipping toggle switches.
