There is definitely hype around AI but there is also value in it.
The realistic scenario for a well functioning organization is not to replace their entire DevOps team with AI agents and then realize the hard reality that their entire tech infra is on fire but to actually use these as a tool that makes their best DevOps person more efficient and make their DevOps resources much more leaner. This increases the productivity for the same cost. Even though this sounds grim for the future of work, this is what I feel is going to happen.
This holds true for ML models too when the data is large. I've seen people(myself included) when the data is small, the iteration is faster when selecting the features but when the data is large then you have to think about the features that you want to select a bit more deeply, test it out on a sample and then submit it to the larger data set.
Kickfurther | Full Stack Engineer - Laravel | Remote - North and South America | Full-Time | https://www.kickfurther.com/
Kickfurther is creating a marketplace that serves users who want to earn money by participating in the retail economy, and consumer product businesses who need financing for inventory to meet their own growing demand and production cycles. We use 3rd-party data integrations from a variety of sources to vet co-op applications and automate business processes. We regularly close crowd-sourced funding campaigns in just a few minutes as our user base rushes to fund co-ops, meaning that we simultaneously process many transactions in a seamless way. Kickfurther itself just closed our largest investment round; there is a lot to accomplish and we have the means to accomplish it.
To that end, Kickfurther is looking to add a new member to our dev team. The team is still fairly small, so all of your contributions will be noticed. All of your work will be deployed once it is reviewed, so you will be an essential part of building our platform. We are an honest and hard-working group of people who take our work seriously, but don’t take ourselves too seriously. We lean towards simple solutions to complex problems, and complicate things only when absolutely necessary. We have strong opinions weakly held and are always open to new ideas. We need someone who shares our values and is excited to solve the challenges ahead.
For the 1st, a critical mass has to be reached in order for it to become a problem. Even if it does and slows it down, then the places where the speeds are fast will become attractive for the same people. This is just a hypothesis, it will be interesting to see the dynamics created by such service.
I appreciate apple's attempt in the privacy space as well as loathe their 30% mandatory in app purchase integration which EPIC is fighting against. You need someone who is big like Epic to stand against apple as they the resource to battle it out legally.
One of my clients is a small player and they have stripe integration for their service. The android platform uses the stripe integration where as the apple platform has forced in app purchases down their throat. In app purchases should be an option and it should be upto the customer if they want to use it or not.
