Stomping your feet and telling me why it's not a fad is very fad behavior.

Looks like maybe different configurations based on customer needs?

I'm not serious, these are just the first cynical thoughts that came to mind, but I feel like this question should be one we can actually answer? We've had both pensions and time to see varying degrees of successes and failures regarding them.

The capitalist class are the fucking NY Yankees of the world - never has so little been done with so much. What a bunch of greedy idiots running shit into the ground.

I didn't get the impression from the article it was otherwise, just that this young man found what he was looking for inside a game and its community. The article felt positive, your comment feels defensive and judgemental.

" High-intelligence AGI is the last human invention" What? I could certainly see all kinds of entertaining arguments for this, but to write it so matter of fact was cringe inducing.

A lot of the rest of the world are using it for other things. And at these other things, the results are less impressive. If you've had to correct a family member who got the wrong idea from whatever chat bot they asked, if you've ever had to point out the trash writing in an email someone just trusted AI to write on their behalf before it got sent to someone that mattered, or if you've ever just spent any amount of time on twitter with grok users, you should be exceptionally and profoundly aware of how unimpressive AI is for the rest of the world.

I feel we need less people complaining about the skepticism on HN and more people who understand these skeptics that hang out here already know how wonderful a productivity boost you're getting from the thing they're rightly skeptical about. Countering with "But my code productivity is up!" is next to useless information on this site.

Somewhere in all this process stuff, I see maybe what some teams were doing but I doubt it was as rigid and I doubt they indulged in it when it made no sense. Once these teams or people are asked what they're doing right - it eventually gets defined into rules and then evangelized to people made to feel they can't deviate or improvise when the framework makes no sense. "Trust the process."

So people start wasting their time going through the process rather than using the process as a framework/tool for getting things done, they 'do' the process.

Their job is standup, their job is scrum, tickets, and points, and as a result their job is only marginally to do the things that need doing.

Company's might take more issue with this inefficiency if the workforce didn't double as something to manipulate pre and post head/tailwind to make the stock rise.

Less "Hacker" More "Greed via Computer" So the idea that they aren't bothered by Mr Beast's lack of integrity is because they too find deceit acceptable so long as they profit. Because, someone else before him did, so why shouldn't he? It's toxic greed all the way down in this view.

the bizarre social Darwinism nonsense that permeates the internet has done a nice job of taking this antisocial mindset - passersby at a glance recognize it quite rightly as the ideology of the asshole - and rebranded it as 'smart' and a mere recognition of the 'real world' (much to the confusion of people succeeding and enjoying the company of others doing so without robbing one another)

Looks like several exist.
