I am quite sure, that in the future chatgpt will have parental controls as we have them in video streaming apps or in phone in general. Should your child be allowed to generate full blown essays only by AI or just take a guided tour? You decide!

The symptoms could be connected to emptyer wallets, because on workdays people earn, on weekends people spend. It would take time and shifting of minds to adapt countrys economics to, for example, three day weekend.

The fundamentally different aspect is also at the user end - you need fb account to run these gadgets, spend money associated with this account and when someone tries to “hack” that account (because it is public), you loose it without a chance to ever get back the account or money. There is no way how to contact any living person for support, most you can get is their faq. I cannot imagine such situation with gmail.

Why do you assume that its devs who are slacking in waterfall? Devs enjoy deving, usually there are either discoveries during execution or change of mind of client or pms figure out that their guestimation for year ahead was not exact. Surprise, surprise and who is going to have crunch time? Devs of course.

It is better to leave the job and get hired again, than be loyal to the same company.

As for someone who grew up in post-soviet 90ties with Disney comics and would like to get to know what the other kids (and adults) of the world were reading - what would you suggest me to search for?

This is a strange article. There are slow writers, there are fast writers. It seems that each writer is in a way different like… like any person! So..?

Sure, attitude should be right, but this as well could be a survivorship bias - Chen has been working for a couple of years and turned out to be a success. Was the conclusion made from one example?

I just tried to enable it for 10 minutes and I will never enable it again. This is also a reason why I can not work on non mac laptop trackpads - they are unreliable, accident taps happens all the time.

Unskilled people are more random with their self assessment that skilled. It has nothing to do with unskilled people thinking that they know everything.

Don't want to sound arrogant, but it seems that projects like this was a good lesson for you. With one lesson (among many others), that "I carefully explained all my suggestions and backed them up with UI conventions..." will not work with some people (technical ones) and there should be other styles of communication in your toolbox. I learned this the hard way when I wanted to be a freelancer and had to do everything (coding, managing project, accounting) on my own. Now I work at a company as a coder and project managers are "shielding" me from clients eccentric needs.
