but claude code also let's you run with a max subscription (not free but capped and with high usage, much cheaper than pure api costs)

yeah for me it's a capital starvation issue, 5 years ago I got millions to fund a vague idea and would hire left and right for the price you'd give, didn't matter. Now I'm building a sustainable business with the little funding available and growth and success is severly limited by the lack of capital, 150k/year would be almost half our entire company salaries. I won't mind increasing salaries for everyone including myself as we grow and become profitable, but right now that would just be suicide. Appart from big corps that are just increasing profit margins and dividends, I wouldn't be surprised if lots of small businesses are in a similar situation where they would love to hire seniors but the pool that was dumped by big businesses is just too expensive for them. Would be interesting to see the job market as a stock market I'm pretty sure atm lots of these 150k/year profiles would now be 75k/year max since the big corps dumped their stock. Smaller businesses don't have that kind of capital since VC dried up.

I think it's actually brilliant. People aren't going to leisure trip at commuting hours, so it allows to keep a schedule outside of busy hours when you are normally way under capacity.

Wages are quite good especially for the low skills/paid training

Note that it's only up to regional transparts, which means that if you can technically travel across Germany with it, it's gonna be much slower than a car. In most cases you are still going to take an Inter City Express which is not included. But now you can go from your small city next to Berlin to your grandpa's next to Hamburg and only have to worry about the ICE. The trip would last roughly as long as it would with the car end to end, and cost you less (way less if you then completely renounce owning a car)

Like that story about a Tesla driver driving off a cliff in California and everyone surviving the crash? A story that even ended up in french and German newspapers

Or they remove them from the dataset in batches every X months and retrain. You have a few months to comply to gdpr requests

What was the training? From what I read the plane was sold as being flown without the need for new training to counter the Airbus jet?

> If VS Code is slower than sublime with the same level of functionality, why does it currently totally dominate the market? Is it because devs just love Microsoft?

Because it only has the same level of functionality when you conveniently ignore how easier it is to write plugins

I worked for a year for Pengu, one of the hackers. I never dared to ask about that part of his path. He had a custom arcade game running the game in the office, that was the closest thing to the topic. He really moved on with his life.

If you wonder, at the time, the company was doing claims processing for a big insurance company in the US

A personal anecdote, I've had the the complete opposite experience with Asus and Lenovo laptops lasting forever, not even needing any sort of repair, while my 2007 MacBook pro died because of a known flaw on Nvidia GPU after less than 4 year and the fix costed as much as a new laptop

I think you give too much credit to some execs, my experience is that sometimes the short term is the only thing they pay attention to when investors' money is flowing and there's more to grab.

The only reason we see this headline is because dumb money ran out last year'

True, although I don't know which library the op is talking about, because all the libraries I use are alive and well, some get very rare updated simply because they are "done"
