<p>As the 'sarah' for an org I'm golden handcuffed to, avoid becoming the 'sarah' at all costs it will cost you so much in your career. I am a founding engineer self-taught from it/software security to full stack dev, and I pushed so we aimed to higher better engineers than myself. When they came in it was a full rewrite, a new abstraction and going down the same paths I learned the hard way not to go down. I was pushed out of enforcing hard-earned business logic, and we are still paying for it. Everywhere from not accepting the inherent complexity of the problem and over simplifying software to trying to get same features we had from 3 years ago. This then has made me the scapegoat for why the new engineers made xyz decision, and was the one in charge of fixing the shortcuts, bugs and workarounds. I have received promotions for this to be in charge of the veterans that didn't listen to me, whom still don't until it's a fire drill. Joke among colleges is I was the first 'agent' our company had, endless work, just enough authority to do current task, not enough respect/authority to solve the symptom. I understand this is also a failure of my office politics and am improving, however its hard to balance blunt productivity, slow careful positioning and letting people struggle with items I don't recommend until circle back.</p>

<p>So there has been increasing issues form the github side for the past year and I believe they also just lost alot of customer/user data on top of several critical vulnribilities and bugs in base service and in actions.<p>My POV: Github actions are inconsistent in billing, security and require alot of attention to do right. Github has worse uptime than alot of free online videogame services, when most enterprise and business world leans on it for developers. Leaving a lot of users with terrible experience the past year having to constantly examine github firefighting for issues around availability, security, and billing instead of doing work that makes the company/people money.<p>Example walk through of securing github actions for ci/cd and managing SBOM python dependancy/supply chains (giant complexity) [1], Github has remote code execution[2], Uptime by 3rd party tracker shows 86% past 90 days. (First quarter in 2 years where they didn't have atleast one month above 90% uptime) [3]<p>[1] <a href="https://astral.sh/blog/open-source-security-at-astral" rel="nofollow">https://astral.sh/blog/open-source-security-at-astral</a>

<p>Many studies show with in ~10% female ranges of ability , but, having more fast twitch muscle fiber and bone mass from male puberty if they went through it. Bone mass does eventually drop to female levels but over decades not years so athletes would likely be out of athletic prime before that happens. Studies showing more dramatic results that stand out in my memory that lean toward transwomen outperforming transwomen are studies done on military veterans comparing to general population  metrics of muscle mass for athletic activity levels also done with a very low population count I believe they only looked at under 300 trans women. Regardless we need more research, but there are  a comically small amount of trans athletes seeking professional level sports, like I think <20 for all college level for instance.<p>Anecdotally, I found as a deskjob, pilates and casual weight lifting trans woman, I lost dramatic amount of strength and muscle mass. 20 pounds now feels like 50 pounds did for myself pre-transition. I usually participate with women and the instructor/personal helps with modifications usually aimed at women just getting into fitness. Running joke amongst friends is how easily I am outperformed by my female friends at the gym/pilates/etc. However, that's since my body is low testosterone even for females, its checked twice a year because of it, normally It's once a year for most trans people. Other friends retained a lot of their strength, but are mechanics, so its really situational in my opinion, and its a super hard and interesting topic of research because of it</p>

<p>Well, trans women given current regulations that allowed competition with cis women, would have had to be on hormone replacement therapy for 3-5 years depending on the sport. So the data and context does matter, because the intuitive conclusion you came to isn't touching a dataset to find the rooted-in-reality conclusion. The question is 'is a male with a female hormone balance for over X period time with in a fair difference in biological function to females.'. Which is a complex question, since so many things are at play. How much does fast twitch muscle fiber is retained? How much does that even matter for the sport in question?(ballet vs sprinting) Did they go through male puberty? Where are they working out to retain their muscle mass through their 3-5 year transition period and not losing any of their originally gained muscle? What would it look like if they intentionally lost the muscle mass and then retrained it back?<p>I find those to be fascinating questions, the later we have little research on, currently, and it could enlighten so much more of exercise science especially for cis athletes as well.</p>

<p>I feel like the regular weight loss group was? Since it isn't necessarily rocket science for having mostly men stay in an easily determinable caloric deficit to lose weight. (Women have usually would be harder due to more conditions and hormone interactions that make finding a TDEE not as simple.)</p>

<p>Big fan of this push back, because there are alot of projects that have that smell over engineering with the wrong base. (especially with vibecoding now) Thought there are use cases where some have lots of medium-sized data divided up. For compliance, I have a lot of reporting data split such that duckdb instances running in separate processes work amazing for us especially with lower complexity to other compute engines in that environment. If I wanted to move everything into somewhere a clickhouse/trino/databrick/etc would work well the compliance complexity skyrockets and makes it so we have to have <i>perfect</i> configs and tons  of extra time invested to get the same devex</p>

<p>I'm in a position where I've got to be managing people in my company. Not a strength of mine, especially the project management piece. Where I'm more of a founding engineer that knows the niche industry product _too_ well, so we can't hire around it, only train around it. While we are expanding, I'm the head of impossible amounts of projects. I'm in a constant make the best, worst choice to keep things moving situation. Everyone exec level knows all of this and is being very gracious as I learn on the fly. Still, I really want to improve but struggling as it feels like I never have time to even do project/people management the 'right way'.<p>If there are books, courses, or anything that had a big impact on your management skills, I would love to hear your story!</p>

<p>Theres alot of what about women arguments which is fair, but I think it's entirely fair to view this as a harm to men's mental health, and it should be the focus.<p>Right now, we have a societal issue of isolating, vulnerable men. Men have the highest suicide rate, are statistically more likely to commit violent offenses and have a high rate of domestic abuse. 'Incels' who are likely these companies target market have committed domestic terrorism. I think this is an issue we should 100% be looking at, imagine what happens when there is AI misalignment? They could become a risk to themselves and others, the last thing we need is a unreliable tool for someone in that situation to sooth the pains of social isolation.</p>

<p>Largely agree, given your definitions and clarifications, but I see some things are just co-related issues not directly a death of that programming approach. Where I see it is the gap between programmers and end users, scope of 'users' expanding to other programmers, and the increased complexity causes more abstract soft skill code delivery/management roles are entirely co-existing issues. Where they didn't cause the death directly, more a co-morbidity situation, didn't help, but it didn't cause the death. I'd say the primary cause is cost and complexity of operations, forcing the perspective shift from 'help at least one actual human being' to 'help at least <MINIMUM VIABLE MARKET SHARE> of users/developers'. I'd also as an aside argue frameworks and items directed at devs (that are well-designed), are still abstractly utilitarian, because, if they didn't exist a human would have to do the work of programming or doing the work manually so it would directly help at least 1 human.</p>

<p>These people aren't at a funeral, they are online, responding to false glorifications of him. These comments obviously aren't directed at the family but the news publications and media's handling of his passing. If that's not the appropriate space for that criticism when/where is it? Just after the public not ever knowing their real action's in life have moved on with a false glorified image of the person, move on and aren't paying attention anymore?</p>

<p>Sorry if you misunderstood, it is a nuanced take, I'm saying acknowledging one as a terrible person in response to flowery embellishments of their life isn't celebrating that death. My statement wasn't about political violence, rather, we shouldn't be punishing people for pointing out the false depiction of the dead. I think ideally we all should be mature enough to both mourn the loss of a human and also acknowledge who they really were.</p>

<p>AI coding is mid(okay) yes, my main point is people use it and it's a good line of business right now for them. They expected bigger break throughs like gpt-2 to 3 to 4, and that's not happening so they have to lean on the other aspects of the business more.<p>The fact it is mid is why they are really needing all the other lines of business to work. AKA selling tokens to AI apps the specialize in other mid products, and limit the snakeoil AI products that are littering the market ruining AI's image of being the new catch all solution.</p>

<p>Yea from what I understand 'Chats' and AI coding are something they already have market domination/are a leader on and are a good/okay product. It's the other use cases they haven't delievered on in terms of other companies using them as a platform to deliver AI apps, which I would imagine would have been a huge vertical in their pitches to investors and internal plans.<p>These third-party apps get huge token usage with agenentic patterns. So losing out on them and being forced to make more internal products to tune to specific use cases is not something they want to biuld out or explore</p>

<p>Looks like they want to build up and support middle men to do the apps more than them, and act more like a platform or operating system position. Which makes sense giant corporations reporting 95% failed AI projects and the core success cases are specialist companies tuning the platform to a specific problem are successful. Then there are a ton of snake oil AI apps that are over promising under delivering hurting the image of AI's usefulness<p>This is probably purely a pivot in market strategy to profitability to increase token usage, increase consumer/public's trust more than farming ideas for internal projects.</p>
