Indeed! It gets existential real quick.

Thank you for your perspective.

And mine a polite way to say “you are equally uninformed”. We’re not getting anywhere. All the best.

Genuine question, what is it about Ed Zitron that makes him credible in your opinion?

> I’m not sure that follows

To be fair, none of us are sure of anything and I think that’s the part that’s most irritating

I too am sceptical but I’ll take my chances. At least it’s helping the open weights.

The way I look at it, their coding plan doesn’t retain data or use it for training making it one of the cheaper plans for me.

Ok. Replace “customer” with “end user”

> The endless meetings, scrum rituals, code reviews etc were the annoying parts of the job.

Those are all self inflicted and not a necessary part of the job.

I agree. Possibly more fun than ever. Bugs are being caught earlier through AI review, higher quality and quantity of tests, features are going out faster, bad decisions can be easily course corrected and bike shedding is dropping dramatically.

I miss the romanticism of trad coding but shipping better solutions to my customers was the goal. Hard to argue things aren’t better when AI is used intelligently by experienced people.

The origin teams are comprised of the all the best players in the league across clubs so they’re like dream teams.

I go running for hours in remote locations by myself and carry a phone, watch and a satellite communicator amongst other things. It all depends.

Not necessarily. Didn’t Microsoft port the TS compiler to Go and they did it by translating the TS? It wasn’t idiomatic Go.

I picked up Elixir this year. I’m gobsmacked on what the language and BEAM offer. Such a slept on ecosystem. I’m full convert.

New site looks great.

I landed on this too.

An advantage of this is when you got to hotfix an old customer, the skills align with how the code was authored at that point in time.
