GPU programming has to be one of the highest paying jobs in the game industry, and it can transition quite easily into other industries as well. Mostly because it’s not an entry-level position. On top of being a solid C++ developer, you need to understand the entire hardware stack and be able to optimize shaders at the instruction level while juggling things like occupancy, memory coalescing, and other low level performance concerns.
I really hope Google discontinues this project soon (that’s kind of their specialty). I find it frustrating when chatbots/LLMs adopt real names as their brand identities.
This still doesn't work for me. I have to actively think about the problem, find a solution, and write the code myself. Outsourcing these efforts makes my learning ineffective.
I will keep using LLMs for 1 week greenfield hobby projects that I don't plan to revisit. But no matter how good LLMs get, I will never use them in my dailyjob, otherwise, I risk losing touch with the codebase.

I've never seen this happen, but I do notice a lot of tourists asking for services or starting conversations without saying 'hello' or 'bonjour,' which is considered disrespectful in France
