Hahaha, You better add a source to that. Without being am established household name like Duolingo or Rosetta Stone, that sounds like a scam.

Shouldnt the product speak for itself? Why do you need to buy a press team.

I mean litteraly, with all the AI podcasts out there just get it to do it. It was going to take all our jobs anyways or something.

Based on what? Do you have data for that or is that just a feeling, or what you want.

Im sorry, this just sounds like hypespeak. CAn you provide samples?

> once they unlock one capability,

What does it mean to unlock? Its an llm nothing is locked. The output is a as good as the context, model and environment. Nothing is hidden or locked.

Those were electrical engineers, digital switches came out later... regardless we are talking about labor of a much larger industry.

> Purchasing power grows everywhere in the world

Sure consumer goods are cheaper, but I don't need more "stuff". The essentials I need for my family: food, energy, housing, and most importantly time are much less accessible. Sure, we could buy bulk, move to a LCOL area and work remote, but not everyone can do that.

This is the trend that a lot of people in my generation complain about.

> You are specifically interested in the job for reasons other than the money. It is unlikely that other applicants want the job as badly as you do.

This is really rat race to the bottom. Obviously it goes without saying that people passionate about a project get preference, but if you are trying to wind yourself up to be "passionate" your winding yourself up to accept less for more work.

> Do not ask employees for a referral!

This amount of times I get asked for blind referrals is insane. Maybe it is a non-western thing, but I nor anyone else I know does this or accepts these requests. It only kills an application, since it looks deceitful, an applicant should stand on their own.

> If the company is <30 people, reach out to the CEO directly.

There is already a lot of spam filtering through their inbox, this is white noise. This maaaay only work if you know them on other channels and they are "cool".

> Again, send more than one email.

lol

CS is oversaturated right now for many reasons. Regardless, mass applications do not work unless you are cheating, targeted applications do not work unless everyone else does the same. The best bet is internal networks, or searching for work in unexpected locations, e.g. webmaster at the local pulp mill.

If there is a hell on this planet it is Reddit. I don't blame them

I blame infiltration by bots slowly shifting the Overton window. Did this site not get "weird" in the last few years?

Not to think to highly of ourselves, I for one am a genuine idiot, but the crowed here likely has more influence than a lot of other online forums. Making it a worthwhile target, especially on the AI front. Plus the site is an easy to integrate into a bots with the minimal website and all.

What a tittle, almost makes you feel good for vibe coding out slop without knowing half of what is going on. What are even the examples marginal css changes on already perfectly good designs?

If you want to look at the bright side, this design guide will be easier to spot SAAS, slop as a service.

Sounds like hot air, Wolfram style. Making an intellectual smart sounding argument out of something that is well simple. Version control is version control , a hammer is a hammer. What style you choose depends on the situation, right now git is king because it works and we all understand it.. enough.

The lossy aspect mentioned in the article just sounds like you forgot to write comments or a README. simple fix

I disagree. I limit the screen time of my kids to 20 min per day. I only allow them also to view certain content that is not too stimulating, just educational stuff. The kids do want to talk about the stuff they see and play out what they see afterwards. I see it as positive. Unlimited youtube kids, with weird slop content, absolutely harmful.

So we are just irrational and sour?

> People are willing to pay $200 per month

Some people are of course, but how many?

> ... People are willing to pay $200 per month

This is just low-key hype. Careful with your portfolio...
