<p>Project planning is not more abstraction - a lot of companies use junior staff as project managers. And sure, they will also find a hard time finding jobs, unless they can move up the hierachy.</p>

<p>Yes, so when a tool is walking any monkey through a process, it does bit have a value anymore.<p>This is why people stopped adding word, excel and googling skills into their resumes - it is assumed that you know how to use the office suite and a browser.</p>

<p>Sure they do - there are a lot of people who thrive working with concrete technologies and solve relatively straight forward issues (implement this component - style work).<p>These people will see a brutal job market that is forcing them to take more responsibility and work at a higher level of abstraction.<p>This is nothing new - A bunch of people simply don't thrive well as knowledge workers. The bar for being a knowledge worker is going to go up - by a lot.</p>

<p>You are on point: The developers of the future need to hold much more of the domain that is being developed for. It is not a job to write JSX and tailwind classes anymore, so you need to move up in abstraction - and complexity.<p>Not all can do that.</p>

<p>Quite a few developers will likely loose their jobs. In particular the ones who don't have mental capacity to work with models - the ones who are forever junior.<p>The engineers who can manage large scale projects using agents will, on the other hand, probably get a hefty salary bump.</p>

<p>Given how I can manage and develop a huge production code base with an incredibly small team - and the rest of the industry apparently is not able to do it - I deem that we are still in the very early days.</p>

<p>There is this over indexing in training data that I find quite problematic.<p>I have really good results getting LLMs to read documentation and work of these. This is in domains probably sparsely represented in the training data.</p>

<p>I can recommend reading section 2 of the paper.<p>The goal was not to define unsolved problems.<p>But as such, the problems are also not previously published problems.<p>This seems quite reasonable IMHO.</p>

<p>Obviously these are application decisions.<p>You, obviously, don't commit important data only to a session that you can loose, if the application does not allow it.<p>We use redis as infrastructure. To route events and as a cache.<p>For us redis could go down and we would merely see a degradation of our service with no data loss.<p>I recommend using redis like that. And then use a database that supports transactions for real data problems.<p>But we are different. And that's OK.</p>

<p>I don't think you understand what HA means.<p>The app would look up in both databases. If it exists in any, there would be a session.<p>Thisnis strictly different from partitioning which I think you are mixing it up with.<p>Paritioning is for performance not HA</p>

<p>If they need a general purpose distro for a server, absolutely.<p>That would likely be a better recommendation than android.</p>

<p>This case is exactly what he talks about. To get HA just setup more than one redis cache - or rebuild the session if it was lost in the redis cache.</p>

<p>Source?<p>When I run the calculations and take vacation, health, education for the median person they are close to similar.<p>But these calculations does not take into consideration: less noisy cities, walkable neighborhoods, longer life expectancy, higher quality food, better workers protections, education, etc.<p>An honest study would need to include the value of the commons.<p>> roughly 20-40% richer<p>This is likely wrong. Americans have better purchasing power, but are not necessarily richer.</p>
