My favorite response to this was a fellow dev who immediately replied “you let your printer near a GUN?!”

Now I’m wondering if “still” is meant to be short for “distill”…

Two of those YouTube links are to Patrick Boyle who is a very respectable and knowledgeable ex hedge fund manager who dives DEEP into the topic while remaining entertaining. It’s a hilariously outdated take to say that YouTube content guarantees a lack of value or authority.

FYI it took me 3 clicks of “next” to hit a page with a cookie dickover. Might need to tweak the filter.

> Tonnes of frameworks around this concept, so I won't repeat what others have done decently already. Jobs To Be Done, Outcome Driven Innovation, and in the UX camp, empathy mapping.

Totally understand, but I would love if the author included links to these other things for articles/etc they thought did a good enough job not to repeat them!

You should take a look at CODEOWNERS file specs

My 5 year old Subaru has been able to lane keep and auto follow to the point that a 2h drive on the freeway is me tapping the wheel every ten seconds to keep it enabled while I watch for idiots. It has been able to do this since I bought it, and I haven’t paid a dime extra. Car cost 30k.

Your boss sounds hilarious naive to how the world works.

Don’t compare LLMs to calculators. Only one of those is deterministic.

My dude adding ads to a free product after locking people into using it for free is LITERALLY the example used by Doctorow in his original article[1] that COINED the term “enshittification”. It couldn’t be more accurate if you tried.

Literally happened at work. Breathless thread of people saying how insane it was and then we got to link this and it immediately 180-ed and everyone was like “holy shit that’s messed up”

A) no they can’t

B) if they can, how’s that working out for you?

C) you’re saying if I make myself suffer for several months I can have the privilege to work at one of the single worst companies on the face of this earth? _sign me the fuck up_

Good lord based on these comments I am so glad to not live in the same bubble y’all seem to be in.

13 years as a dev, many jobs, countless interviews, and I have never once solved, been asked to solve, or even attempted to solve a leetcode problem.

Reading people talking about what they do here it sounds like voluntary torture. I would quit being a dev if that’s what it took.

OP: I’m saying maybe you don’t have to join them. Get out of the mindset. Find jobs that value your time.

I work at a company doing full-stack Elixir with most of our devs all heavily using AI as they please to augment their workflow, and our CTO was genuinely concerned that our main competitor, a Python shop, had a leg-up on us for this exact reason.

He spent time running benchmarks for 0-1 apps and all kinds of other metrics and found basically no appreciable difference in the speed or accuracy of AI at generating Elixir vs. Python. Maybe some difference, but honestly it just doesn't exist enough to matter.
