If you implemented a tool and it worked one time for your presentation to management that's all that mattered.

The actual company employees using it downstream in prod basically had to constantly QA the alpha software they were forced to use and the authors of the tool were hard to track down if they even still worked there. And if you did find the author or the team they would be very resistant to admitting there was an issue because it LOOKED bad.

So many tools I used were fragile and buggy, it was clear the authors just presented the happy path to management to get the note added to their promotion packet and the rest of the company just had to deal with the fallout.

My team implemented this product that the entire company used that was broken and buggy as hell but they kept presenting the product to management as this amazing product and nothing was ever done about how broken it was. One of my team members came from Apple and said Apple's tool to do the same thing was much better. The tool my team worked on was a well known pain point amongst the rank and file but management was very detached from the rank and file, which I guess ultimately was the primary problem.

If Github is having the same issues I feel for them.

should oil prices naturally be higher?

To SOLVE it would easily win the Nobel, possibly the Turing and more.

Designer proteins would change the world and medicine also in unimaginable ways.

They should add the cost of future open heart surgery to the cheap meal.

How's the accuracy on the Coros watches?

it has an insane number of features

It's mathematically the best choice.

The places I worked were essentially white collar welfare.

One could do nothing and collect a paycheck.

Not saying all federally finded places are like this but this system is ripe for abuse and I dont know how you elimiate the abuse while still giving the deserving scientists the funding they need.

By power tool we simply mean speeds up work.

And by that definition LLMs are absolutely a power tool of epic proprtions!

If you ever coded before LLMs existed its like night and day.

Look at Seattle in the 90's, NYC, early San Fran, etc., the before real estate prices skyrocketed or 17th and 18th century enlightenment post-plague, when massive amounts of the rich died and the wealth became more evenly distributed.

I feel like real estate prices, inequality, and inflation truly squander the intellectual wealth of the poor and middle classes and it hurts the human race as a whole.
