Yeah courage will get you fired. Whether it be about idiot product decisions, or about how your bosses treat your coworkers. That’s the consequence of letting sociopaths get in charge.

Not being buried under a backlog of work is one aspect, and the other is that the sheer _urgency_ of these efforts makes it look like companies like Uber could be displaced in a year or two by someone who gets lucky with AI use. Which absol

The fact that a company with such a ledger has trouble advocating for AI-maxxxing will make watching the "ur holding ur AI wrong bro"-reactions all the more hilarious.

These things are like a sidewalk having a ramp that was originally made for wheelchairs but then suddenly everyone uses it because it’s just a nicer experience with less chance of tripping and falling flat on your face.

You say this as if Android has tens of thousands of useful/good apps. There’s probably 100-250 that you might _really_ want. Amazon can easily afford to pay each developer $1 million to port theirs, if they get serious about their own

If they create their own SoC with their own IP having their own system will make it easier to move forward, as they won’t need to share development concerns with a larger group (e.g. they want feature X to go into one direction, and Android

I mean, $800 is kinda cheap for self-worth, if we’re honest. Cheaper than a sports car or house with a view or own apartment or even one vacation someplace fancy. But yeah, ideally one shouldn’t tie self worth to perishables.

Something like: If I have a call with you once, theoretically I might have a call with you again in the future. If they use my content to train "your" AI that would improve our theoretical future call, too, and is a "for me&q

I’ve seen that done just as a gesture of good will, in a "if it helps, we can spend more money"-kind of way, even though everyone involved knows it would just complicate things.

Right. The poblem is when you focus on and optimize for hiring excellent developers only. Then all the non-excellent people that contribute to the average are in middle-to-higher-level management.

You do know that hardware and software teams are not the same thing, yeah?

by smoofles 7y ago
Yeah, like iOS 13, Catalyst, and Catalina. It’s all rather amazing. Ship on time, ship all features that were announced, heck, their hardware teams can barely keep up!

It’s an enterprise full of hipsters that tell themselves they’re changing the world in order to be able to take the punishment (or to be ok with unethical work). :P

First time I had that happen I quickly shut the door in the young lady’s face. Didn’t hit her, but it fell in place and she had to open it again herself. She was pretty unhappy about that as well, incidentally.

I don’t know a lot of people running Ruby services on FreeBSD, either. I’m pretty sure I know one or two who, at least, develop on Windows. But, yeah, noone’s stopping you to make your FreeBSD version of the cheatsheet, what with the open s
