Maybe we should start requiring companies to pay a percent of wages in equity. That would at least allow workers to share in a company’s success.

Yeah this seems right to me. Politics is so polarizing it's a guarantee that half the country is going to be pissed no matter who is in charge. Most of my family leans left, it's hard to stay positive when the leader of your country actively and proudly hates you while also making terrible policy decisions.

I think it's the dissonance between what the data say and just looking around. I see far more homeless, friends and family are more stressed, life in general just feels harder with less opportunity. Then you have the data people saying "no your life is actually great." So why the dissonance? I don't think it's just social media brainwashing.

> In January, someone told me that an expert told him that software engineering would be dead in 3 months, and I scoffed at the time, but now I think it's pretty accurate

I mean, maybe your 3 month prediction is correct. But by definition that expert's 3 month prediction wasn't accurate because software engineering is still around and it's after April. We are 3.5 years in '6months until programming is solved'.

AI or not, most people never cared about documentation. I have always had to fight tooth and nail to get people to write shit down, and that hasn't changed with AI.

In 2021 I wrote a ton of docs for outlining our deployment and various how-tos, basically just got a "cool thanks bro" for my time. People never cared, I think AI is just a convenient modern excuse.

My take is that people feel powerless to really do anything against these massive tech companies. This is the only tangible way they can fight back.

I propose we build one under Sam Altman's house.

This is what bothers me the most about this whole situation. Reckless, greedy, sociopaths have been put in charge of our society and there doesn't seem to be any way out. It's like I'm on a train barreling toward a brick wall and everyone is shocked I don't clap when the engineer shovels more coal into the engine.

If this is how the 'good guys' act I think I'd rather take my chances with the bad actors...

Yeah, I think this needs to be update for the modern age. "Never attribute to malice that which can be explained by greed." Seems to fit vastly more situations.

Ah, ok I see. Your correcting the fact that I think it's wild when it actually shouldn't be surprising. I understand now.

Not sure why you said 'Not at all'. Your comment seems to corroborate exactly what I said. People who don't care are specifically rewarded more than people who do and it's by design.

Kind of weird you guys are being down-voted. This is absolutely true. I volunteered at the local Boys and Girls club for years and there was always a vibe when any new person or parent came in. Over 30 male working with kids always raises eyebrows. It sucks but it's also reality.

It's kind of wild that our system seems to be specifically set up to exploit people who care.

Sociopath who views people as just a barrier to their goals? Promotion to CEO, billion dollar bonus. Millions of tax dollars spent to bail you out of trouble.

Empathetic person willing to literally put your body on the line for other? Shit pay, shit hours, one unlucky break away from destitution.

What's even crazier is the majority of Americans seem to like it this way.

I’m actually taking prerequisites at a local cc to start an accelerated BS in nursing. Feels like one of the few jobs that’s still going to be in demand.

It is kind of mind boggling. They could have chosen anything and decided to implement it in the slowest jankiest way possible.

Proves LLMs don’t help with taste.

Content is interesting and seems accurate to me.

That narrator drives me nuts though. There too many “like” “you know” “so” “down here”. Comes off grating, I don’t think I could listen to multiple hours of this.
