They went through a heavy period of layoffs for a few years and now are killing it and it meets your criteria of about 10 years ago

My guess because we just read of the seizure stories online but 95% of dogs are ok with it. Mine is. There's a limit to dealing with edge cases that most people have.

Not saying this is how I feel or act though.

I'm not big into vegetarian substitutes but oatmilk is legitimately delicious. It's good for lattes, cereal, whatever. I guess maybe not good for baking?

For windows 11, it seesms to be antivirus scanning. That's what's always blowing up my RAM

I haven't heard of that but I know creatine causes loads of water absorption. I wonder if you're borderline dehydrated and creatine pushes you over the limit.

Believe me, I know. I am completely an entirely responsible for a service that receives around 500 requests a second. AI assisted coding has really helped me get through a backlog of things I've wanted to do but never had the time because I was one man.

Going off this thought tangent a bit, I think many engineers could be gatekeepers because it's a pretty hard industry to get into and it's just not everybody's cup of tea. Now that AI is assisting people who wouldn't necessarily make it in the old world, it turns out business just cares about results and the gatekeepers don't matter as much anymore. It's creating quite a big split between the old guard and people who just get stuff done even if it creates 10 times the bloat.

I've always been on the get it done side to the chagrin of my peers but I've also never impressed anyone with what I've came up with so who knows.

My personal opinion is that if you don't get with the program, you're probably going to get left in the dust or going to have to split off and do your own thing where you can control what's going on but I think in general in a capitalistic society, the business just wants to get to the next thing to make more money and subpar or middling quality is good enough.

I should caveat my comment that this doesn't apply to pacemaker software and higher end software engineering

I think if anyone can get away with it, it's bambu though. They are the apple of the 3d printing market and most people don't care. They just hit print and hope it works

No, we did a actual test using our existing testing framework. We have shitloads of metrics to know when a user gets stuck, when they give up, which login path they took, etc.

This wasn't a half assed test but a legitimate effort to improve something that we never prioritized

We had a legitimate 25% reduction in users giving up logging in in a system that has millions of users.

We ran a 50-50 AB test for several weeks to confirm the data and then turned it on completely

edit: If you haven't already read my post, I'd also like to say that the benefit AI gives us is that I worked on something I never get to work on, the analyst got to try a hunch he always had, and we got to see it go live in a day. If it didn't' work out, we were out a day of work which beats the few weeks of an effort prior to AI that we would spend on something just to find out it didn't work.

I can give an anecdote. I'm a backend engineer for a service that I would consider pretty high horsepower. We get about 30k sign ups and trillions of events a day. I haven't touched the front end with a 10 foot pole since college.

I got the opportunity to rewrite our aging login page just as a fun experiment. I sat down with one of our analysts and we just went to town in a zoom trying out stuff with claude until we made something pretty sweet. Ran it through all our systems for accessibility, performance, etc and it came out clean. Made a PR and fired up a test that day in production. I haven't written a lick of our front end framework ever in my entire life and we were able to build something that has had a marked improvement in our user engagement in a day.

You're probably right but that sounds like it's still a win to me.

One of our BAs created a site that tests the effectiveness of copy / layout adjustments. I don't even know exactly what that's called but he's able to do statistical analysis much faster on what works and what doesn't. It's really cool to watch him thrive and I feel like some of the thinkers that were not devs are going to find themselves to be one but in their specific domain in a few years
