Chegg was a $15B company before AI came out. I promise that wasn't because it was the best platform to learn the material.
I agree that humans are generally honorable for things with low stakes. Consider our cultural view of politicians for a non-SV example of where we fully expect high stakes to lead to selfish and dishonorable actions.
If anyone else is also barely aware and confused by the similar names, PyPI is the Python Package Index, which is up and maintained. PyPy is "A fast, compliant alternative implementation of Python." which doesn't have enough devs to release a version for 3.12[0].
Thanks to this I looked where my nearest ER is and found that it's 7 minutes away, so I can't imagine calling an ambulance for my wife unless I was worried about her spine. (I don't think she can lift me so the reverse isn't true.)

I disagree.
I'm making a board game of 6 colors of hexes, and I wanted to be able to easily edit the board. The first time around, I used a screenshot of a bunch of hexagons and used paint to color them (tedious, ugly, not transparent, poor quality). This time, I asked ChatGPT to make an SVG of the board and then make a JS script so that clicking on a hex could cycle through the colors. Easier, way higher quality, adjustable size, clean, transparent.
It would've taken me hours to learn and set that up for myself, but ChatGPT did it in 10min with some back and forth. I've made one SVG in my life before this, and never written any DOM-based JS scripts.
Yes, it's a toy example, but you don't have to knwo what you're doing to get useful things from AI.
It specifically calls out not requiring regular password rotation. Short-lived credentials is for tokens with expiration, not the password you use to login to the service that gives you the token.
My first response to any recruiter is always asking for the compensation range. Recruiters have reached out with insanely varying ranges. The best was one day where I was offered one opportunity for $80k-$90k and another for $350k-$600k (different recruiters).
Everyone who is interested in earning the most money (without the startup gamble) is already driven toward the top tech companies. Everyone in tech already knows (at least roughly) which companies are in a market apart from the rest.
You can list benefits alongside salary to try and make up for anything you want, but mandatory salary postings won't change anything except waste fewer people's time on interviews for offers they won't accept and make people working for too little money aware of the fact.
There's at least one company trying to do this - Misfit Markets sells boxes of ugly produce delivered to your door, and they claim to be cheaper than supermarket prices as an ugliness discount. (Disclaimer: I've never used them, a relative works for them)
There's also a huge difference between setting up a properly configured server and actually getting things delivered. The big ones (MS, Google) mark your mail as spam even with SPF, DMARC, DKIM and the like. Even on the service I use (purelymail.com) the low volume of mail and the fact that it's less than a year old means that even when I email them first, the replies are sometimes marked as spam.
