This is great advice, thank you so much. I do occasionally find myself on the verge of burning out. I always have to take a step away and reframe how I think about work when that happens. Maybe I’ll take this setback as a sign to allow myself to be satisfied with where I am and continue growing in my current role.
You know, there is probably some salt to this. There was one part of my doc where his comment felt somewhat defensive. Thanks for your perspective!
I hope something comes of this. They have truly gotten away with way too many human rights violations.
I’m curious if anyone has found a story indicating that they actually want a photo of your face? The original Engadget article seems to indicate that they’re talking about Apple FaceID/TouchID, not an actual image upload.
Apple stores all biometrics data locally on the device. Reddit wouldn’t ever see your face if this is the case; they would just get the passkey token generated by the secure enclave. Am I misunderstanding why this is causing outrage?
Honestly it was even before the Nazi salute. Dude went down the ketamine and red pill rabbit hole years before that and lost a lot of his left-leaning fanboys. It became super obvious at that point that he was just another sociopathic nepo baby grifter.
I 100% agree. To me it sort of feels like that old “Let me Google that for you” website. Like I wouldn’t have asked you something if I wanted you to just prompt ChatGPT. I want your informed opinion. But I guess informed opinions are hard to come by these days.
The tech debt problem will keep getting worse as product teams keep promising more in less time. Keep making developers move faster. I’m sure nothing bad will come of it.
Capitalism truly ruins everything good and pure. I used to love writing clean code and now it’s just “prompt this AI to spit out sloppy code that mostly works so you can focus on what really matters… meetings!”
Yep, take a look into GitHub actions. Basically you can make it so that a specific set of tests are run every time a PR is opened against your code repo. In the background it just spins up a container and runs any commands you define in a YAML config file.
Oh, a bunch of Republicans are leaving? That’s interesting, I wonder why. It sure would be a shame if their seats were replaced by people that actually want to make a difference.
It’s good to see the sentiment growing. Anecdotally, there are non-technical people in my circle that use LLMs frequently as search engine replacements or to do stupid shit like generate pictures and emojis. I hope that begins to decline with the general sentiment called out in this article.
The sheer number of useless LLM integrations in every website, every mobile app, and hell, even smart TVs is insane. I feel like it’s causing people very real feature fatigue. And all of the Internet content and advertising slop is making the takeover seem so much worse.
Edit: Grammar, formatting
Thank you, I wholeheartedly agree. AI for the sake of AI is just pleasing shareholders, and it just feels wrong to call that out as the solution when there are actual engineering avenues that can be explored. At the same time, I feel like it would be burning a bridge if I tried to hold my ground and disagree with the PE. The PE is not my manager (and is not the only PE), but there are also not very many engineers held to that standard in my company. I don’t want to be remembered as the guy that called the PE out on poorly conceived feedback.
