Of course these decisions make sense for the business making them. That does not make it less unethical nor does it change the fact that what these decisions are doing is in fact making products/services worse and in turn making the world a worse place.
> Speeding things up is one of the ways to deal with it.
Making it a well-paid, high status job is another way to deal with it.
Not easy. Not cheap. Involves fixing quite a few incentive structures as well and weeding out corruption... Yeah, I guess you're right, speeding things up a bit at the cost of everyone's privacy and liberties is going to be what they go for.
Things like provisioning, deploying, and eventually destroying cloud instances (VMs) on-demand when a user buys a specific service.
> Do you need to be able to recover from a reboot or crash with your queues intact?
Yes, I expect the queue to be durable.
> Is it a distributed system as opposed to a single machine?
Currently, everything runs on a single machine. But I expect it will eventually have to be split up. Although I do not expect it to be massively distributed or very complex.
> Do you have complex multi-step workflows?
Depends on what you mean by complex but
Multi-step, yes.
I do a bit of amateur photography and I have my photo collection in subversion today.
Would Lore be a better fit for a photo collection with hundreds of thousands of binary files and almost a TB in size?
I have considered git many times but i have effectively one user and what I have now works. And I did not see any benefits in git for this use case.
Just came back to work today to find that OneDrive lost me almost all of Friday’s work. My changes are nowhere to be found in “previous version”. OneDrive is such a mess.
Well, often you don't get to "dump" your pension fund. In Denmark, it is your employer deciding what pension fund to use, and you will then have to use it. It is kinda ridiculous.
> What's really happening is that a few employees realized they can game the system by turning on a firehose of AI slop and pushing 10x the LOC than any other engineer (with or without AI)
Did they figure out how to game the system? Or was the system set up exactly with incitaments to produce exactly this outcome?
