I do think there's something to be said for the big difference in the current abstraction layer jump - the loss of determinism. It is meaningfully different.
My TV was cheap so I didn't expect much. Steam link really struggles on it - thankfully I still have the old Steam Link hardware and it works alright. Locked to 1080p though.
Refused to spend more on a TV because I feel you don't get much more processing power for an increase in price. All smart TVs I've interacted with in the last 5 years have been much slower than I would consider acceptable.
People shouldn't really be walking around in public with ANC on. It's not safe. Not a simple problem to solve except maybe to inform people better upon buying/setting up ANC-enabled devices.
They aren't going away but for some they may become prohibitively expensive after all the subsidies end.
I do think coding with local agents will keep improving to a good level but if deep thinking cloud tokens become too expensive you'll reach the limits of what your local, limited agent can do much more quickly (i.e. be even less able to do more complex work as other replies mention).
I'm a people pleaser and am involved in too many things at work. Friday afternoon mid-sentence I realised I was putting like 5 monkeys on my back for something I'd get done before we start the sprint Monday morning...
Good article to reflect on. Tone is a bit crass maybe but a good read. Need to get better at helping (if I can) and then delegating, instead of defaulting to "let me look into it".
Ouch, maybe hopefully there is someone else not directly above you but somewhere off to the side that can understand the value you bring, it may be worth fishing around for other managers/directors/?? to adopt the project if it isn't being managed and resourced properly.
That sucks. The following is unsolicited stuff you probably already know - feel free to ignore.
I would heavily suggest speaking frankly about this with your manager or even going above their head if needed to ensure someone hears and acknowledges this. With your review in hand and any other additional info that can help back you up.
Ask what you need to focus on to secure a substantial Y raise/promotion and bonus etc. over the next X months and work towards that, keeping management updated as things progress. Probably have specific numbers for X and Y to mention as targets.

95% of the time I click the tick box and wiggle my mouse and it lets me through without doing a captcha.
I believe they check your mouse for human-like movement as an additional factor. Could be wrong but I haven't been bothered by many captchas in the last couple years.
