Repetitive stuff is not new. I've used Lex and Yacc to write code that writes code, and Perl, and bits of Java and Excel...
The lazy programmer always sees a lazy way!
Funny thing. I actually understood every line, and I could explain it all to anyone who asked.
btw. This used to be the book.

Not sure if this is what everyone reads today.
You'll have a code base and not 1 employee who understands it.
Remote users are on the 172.16.105.0/24 IP Range. Possible. But unlikely.
I have several employees who can't reach the company VPN from home. They have to use their phone as a hot spot, and everything works fine. Local ISP is blocking VPN traffic. Annoying as frick.

Even if the Samsung has a higher failure rate, between Raid 6 and MUCH lower prices to replace...
Damn. If that is all it costs to hire a spy, I have some ideas!
If it ain't broke. DON'T FIX IT!
How many people at Microsoft only have a job because they keep inventing new things to change? (When the current version is good, save for some performance, security and stability fixes)
If all you are good for is copying and pasting AI answers, why do I need you?
Kinda reminds me of Office Space:
"I already told you: I deal with the god damn customers so the engineers don't have to. I have people skills; I am good at dealing with people. Can't you understand that? What the hell is wrong with you people?"
Bets for price at completion:
1) 9 billion
2) 13 billion
3) Spend 8 billion before giving up on the whole thing.
4) Hire the Chinese who will do it for 2.2 billion with Chinese workers, and still have plenty left over for bribes!
But the devices are often free!
The way the phones are actually paid for is evil - Stupidly high monthly bills from AT&T.
The phone and financing of the phone should not be linked in any way to a monthly connection/carrier fee.
What happens when Apple eventually buys back all it's own shares? The only reason this stock rises is due to 100's of billions in buy backs.
2012 26,470 million shares outstanding
2024 15,408 million shares outstanding
That is a massive drop. Considering that a huge chunk of Apple's shares are locked up with buy and hold firms, the float is artificially constrained.
If they keep up the pace of buy backs, in 10-15 years they really will take themselves private.
It is delusional to think you can actually lock down these records. One insider gets a nice payment, and good security goes out the window.
How do I opt out of electronic records? On a long enough time scale, they will be hacked.
I'll pay a handling fee for paper records.
Why on earth are employers paying for Americans? Hire someone from the Philippines, India, South America...
Totally agree. Who cares what language you use?
Unless we are hiring for C++, I've never worked for an employer who hired based on language. If you code mostly C#, we ask you C# questions. If you code mostly in Java, we ask you Java questions. If you've never looked at Python and we are using Python, smart programmers will be just fine. Total non-issue.
It would be really weird to hire someone who doesn't have a firm grasp on pointers... Even if we aren't using C/C++. That would be like hiring someone who doesn't understand the very basics of how a computer works.
