<p>I feel like an outlier in all of this. But isn't this just more AI slop? How is this different from text generation or image generation?<p>Like many people I have used AI to generate crap I really don't care about. I need an image. Generate something like, whatever. Great hey a good looking image! No that's done I can do something I find more interesting to do.<p>But it's slop. The image does not fit the context. Its just off. And you can tell that no one really cared.<p>This isn't good.</p>

<p>I'm a skeptic, because Self Driving is sold as a digital chauffeur.<p>Not 99% of a chauffeur, 100%. (or 99.99999%)<p>The roll out of this is clearly limited by the number of remote employees that are filling in the 1%.</p>

<p>For me AI has given that back to me. I'm back to just getting stuff built, not getting stuck for long when working in a new area. And best of all using AI for cleanup! Generate some tests, refactor common code. The boring corporate stuff.</p>

<p>I'm using Claude code to help me learn Godot game programming.<p>One interesting thing is that Claude will not tell me if I'm following the wrong path. It will just make the requested change to the best of its ability.<p>For example a Tower Defence game I'm making I wanted to keep turret position state in an AStarGrid2D.  It produced code to do this, but became harder and harder to follow as I went on. It's only after watching more tutorials I figured out I was asking for the wrong thing. (TileMapLayer is a much better choice)<p>LLMs still suffer from Garbage in Garbage out.</p>

<p>> big software projects I've seen succeed were down to a few inspired leaders and/or engineers who set the tone. People with emotional intelligence, tact, clear vision, ability to really gather requirements and work with the end users. Leaders who treated their staff with dignity and respect.<p>I completely agree. I would just like to add that this only works where the inspired leaders are properly incentivized!</p>

<p>After learning that the Amazon Go store was power by hundreds of people watching video because the AI could not handle it was a real eye opener for me.<p>Is this why Waymo is slow to expand, not enough remote drivers?<p>Maybe that is where we need to be focused, better remote driving?</p>

<p>Haven't we found that there is a limit? Math itself is an abstraction. There is always a conversion process (Turning the real world into a 1 or a 0) that has an error rate. IE 0.000000000000001 is rounded to 0.<p>Every automation I have seen needs human tuning in order to keep working. The more complicated, the more tuning. This is why self driving cars and voice to text still rely on a human to monitor, and tune.<p>Meat is magic. And can never be completely recreated artificially.</p>

<p>GIT seams to be optimized for network of trust. With one person at the top approving what gets merged into the release.<p>This person of course does not do all of the verification, other then broad strokes of what the change does, and who wrote it, reviewed it and tested it.<p>I feel like companies do not want a large tree like structure for their development teams.<p>Without a network of trust it can become mob rule, which is what this article appears to be describing.</p>

<p>I have found that what developers consider easy to read varies. So unless you have a lead developer with the political clout to enforce a standard you will end up with a code base with a very inconsistent style.<p>Unfortunately in the corporate world the people with the required clout rarely want to spend the time necessary to enforce a style.</p>

<p>The quote: `I wish upon you ample doses of pain and suffering’ really hits on the nose for me.<p>My Dad had a successful business after a rough childhood, failing high school. He worked hard and built a successful business. He also really did wish ample doses of pain and suffering on me. And he got his wish.<p>He always thought it was good that I was bullied, that I also failed school, and that everything in life was generally hard for me. He told me this so much that I also believed it, well into my 20s. That is was good I was a failure and suffering.<p>It took a decade to build my life to a point similar to my classmates that did not suffer the way I did. And I'm not ahead of them even now.<p>I really wish my Dad would have gotten therapy instead of internalizing his anger, and believing that is what made him successful. It would have saved me a lot of time.</p>

<p>With all the massive life improvements we have with technology we could be investing so much more into our kids. Jobs could be flexible with short work weeks, and we could use that time to invest in kids. Parent, volunteer, mentor. Remote work done on a school site giving even more time to help kids learn.</p>

<p>I feel that's why many people, especially families prefer detached homes. Sound proofing is guaranteed by the air gap. And if there is a problem with soundproofing you can solve it yourself by making changes.<p>Perhaps row houses are best? Good density, and with a solid concrete wall seperating units to stop sound and fire from spreading?</p>

<p>We are past the golden age of retirement. Growing up I saw my entire Grandmothers family retire early and live a long time. They would retire in their late 50s. (Mostly government related jobs) I also meet plenty of my friends parents that would retire around the same time from one of the big three auto plants.<p>You can actually see it here, the age keeps going up.
