Having "accidentally" purchased one, I can tell you that doing anything 8GB or RAM on a mac laptop is impossible. I have no idea what people are doing with this laptop. Macs are absolute dogs at 8GB.

It's also a useful signal for AI value. Looks like it's a max value add of $18,000 per engineer per year.

all those words and not one concrete claim made. in other words, FUD. the whole point of the article.

The engineer who only does high level system design and never codes has existed for decades and is often the most useless and derided engineer in the org.

Thank you, but, now I have 10 further “explain it to me” questions. (I never did analysis so this stuff is entirely over my head. I had one semester of algebraic structures. It was the hardest class I ever had in my life.)

New comment by newobj in "After outages, Amazon to make senior engineers sign off on AI-assisted changes"

newobj — Tue, 10 Mar 2026 20:24:51 +0000

Speed of code-writing was never the issue at Amazon or AWS. It was always wrong-headed strategic directions, out to lunch PMs, dogshit testing environment, stakeholder soup, high turnover, bureaucracy, a pantheon of legacy systems, insane operational burdens, garbage tooling, and last but not last -- designing for inter-system failure modes, which let's be real, AI has no chance of having context for -- and so on...

Imagine if the #1 problem of your woodworking shop is staff injuries, and the solution that management foists on you is higher RPM lathes.
