your only good backup is the one you last tested ... successfully. I worked for a company and a critical database was deleted. We had backups, but management thought it was a waste of time so we never tested them. Well, the incremental backup was bad. Daily backups were bad. Monthly backup was bad. And finally an off site backup from several months ago was finally found good. We tested backups once a quarter after that. It took all of an hour to do it.

There is a reason COBOL programmers go for so much these days. As the mess gets worse there will be a price point that people will change their mind. If you could work for 3 years at $1 million or some other even higher salary I bet most would for period of time.

Maybe the news is Linux is getting soft. Back in my day I would have learned new colorful insults from his code review.

I think you glossed over an important bit. I am assuming you reviewed the code and understood in detail what it did. Made sure the edge cases were considered, the code could be extended, was maintainable, and test coverage was good. You can't just get that knowledge by using AI alone and I have already seen some spectacular failures from AI code put into production without the development team really understanding what it does. As a productivity improvement I think AI makes sense along with the long line of other less splashy things like IDE improvements. But I think there will start to be some really public failures as some companies cut corners and hire people who just barely know what is happening and use AI. And this is not really new in general as for years I have been brought in behind development teams that were not smart or did not have enough experience to fix things in production on fire as a result.

Anyone else remember that picture? zuck wants his hawaii property to be completely private. However, meta wants to spy on everyone.

Jassy fosters this kind of behavior and then freaks out, because he is getting what he wants. Sometimes when you get when you want and you make your own company a battleground you find out that it is not the best for your company. By his own admission, the current way to get ahead at amazon is to create a fiefdom.

I lived through the offshoring programmer push in the 90s and I expect this is already starting to go like that. Hire bottom dollar to crank out some code you have no idea what it does. Put it in production and it explodes in their face and do the clown car scramble to get people who actually know what they are doing to fix it and pay through the nose. It would have been much much cheaper to just hire the good Developers to build the system, but at this point it is sunk cost. And the MBAs who made the original stupid decisions have all moved on so probably most of them won't suffer the consequences.

I wonder what his "vibe" was when he started getting attacked?

you must like paying more for eggs than just admitting you backed the wrong horse.

cuba is not socialist, it is communist. And more or less castro was more of a fascist than a communist and look at how they are still benefiting from it. trump is a fascist and is just getting started doing damage like castro did to Cuba so buckle up

that is not what is going to happen. You are about to just be priced out of a lot of things because you have to spend more on necessities and you just have less money and everything is more expensive. It is already happening. Seen the price of eggs lately?

what youtube are you using? I never click on right wing content and constantly get right wing political crap pushed including guns and incels like andrew tate. Clicking "never recommend this channel" only works for a couple of days and they are right back at it. Does that happen with left wing content? No. You are deluded if you think they worked against trump. All I see if them pushing right wing agenda.

The funniest part of this post is that it is some MBA inspired advertisement. The link they provide conveniently leaves out a percentage of those without offers. Such an MBA thing to do.

Have you ever integrated anything into saleforce? I have and as bad as that software is it looks like it is getting ready to be a bigger turd.

AI is mostly a problem looking for a solution. Still.
