The middle ground is to mandate that there must be an option to toggle infinite scroll in the settings, preferably with it set off by default.

I don't doubt it, but it is also only the past 15-20 years or so when tech became a prestigious career with higher salaries than law and investment banking and not just a "job for nerds". To some extent, the latter is still t

You're missing nepotism from the equation. The salaries available at American Big Tech have made it so that graduates see a dev career as more desirable than traditional prestige industries like investment banking and law. The same nep

Does adding an old book risk making the model worse? Off the top of my head: - Reinforcing outdated, disproved or otherwise incorrect information. - Reinforcing outdated forms of communication e.g purple prose. You could counter both by giv

The thing is what is the alternative option? If you don't build it, then your rivals do. All of your electronic and military systems then become compromised because your rivals can exploit or negate them one way or another via AI. So y

Sometimes I wonder if what will actually happen, is that we will have very small startups, essentially a C-Suite but with actual coding skills and domain knowledge, who build new companies using AI that end up gaining an advantage over the

In my opinion, Cloudflare are coming at this from the wrong angle. WordPress is so popular because back in the day it was the easiest way to get a website built. So it got a network effect of engineers behind it which is why it persists at

The author's conclusion is fucking astonishing. Don't respond with bitterness - focus on your hobbies, friendships and love. Exactly how are people meant to do any of that exactly when, as you've just laid out, they are not g

I agree that AI today over-engineers. However with the rate that everything is improving, do people really think that it's also not going to be able to refactor and optimise the code in a year or two from now? It can already do a decen

Everyone seems so focussed on the price and the RAM that noone is talking about the fact that macOS is now running on the A system chips which makes me wonder how far away from an iPad that can swap between iOS and macOS when you dock it in

This does remind me somewhat of military command structures with L1-L5 being enlisted ranks and L6-L10 either being NCO or Commissioned depending on your view of how much gatekeeping is involved.

Something I noticed recently is that Claude Code interprets "or" as inclusive or (or at least it does when writing function names). I suspect that this must be due to it's code specific nature considering I would expect the m

In my opinion, governments are going to have to tax the big tech companies hard and distribute the money to funding bodies like Arts Council. I can see a future "Tech Council" for open source software organisations to apply for fu
