I just finished “There is no antimemetics devision”, qntm has my respect it was an incredible book.

Ted Chiang is such an amazing scifi author. I find his work incredibly refreshing and thought-provoking. Personal favorite is the short story Exhalation, I think about it all the time and I highly recommend it.

no, because nobody is thinking...

I'm glad to have read this just to bring visibility to "the senior engineer death spiral". That was really helpful to me, it's something I am more or less experiencing myself due to this agentic era.

Now about this article, idk, maybe i'm just jaded on what engineering has become. My gut reaction is agentic engineering feels wrong.

Getting that on-call incident for a piece of code I own, when i've lost the mental map of what the black box does, it keeps me up at night.

Is the solution really going to be, "use ai for that!". Ugh.

> coasted to a complete stop

I’m not sure how you say that on a release that is literally about new surface hardware

So how is the blooming while editing code with a dark background?

Im also considering purchasing one of these for codework.

Until Linux has an alternative to anticheat, gaming on Windows is still king.

And until Linux implements similar abstractions in the Kernel akin to Filter Drivers in Windows, Linux will never have a proper anticheat.

I’ve found the opposite, it makes tedious tasks like looking up how a specific powershell function works, easy.

Hmm I can’t remember how to read a file into xml in powershell… ask gpt and save yourself 15 minutes

I the get the point of your comment, but the article does state that one of the proposed changes are that you can uninstall news and bing from the start menu / search.

I really hope they announce new desktop displays soon

Strongly depends on the company as well. In a big org it can take years of work at a senior level to get that title. And only if there is a “business need”.

I use Azure. Also going to be looking into Cloud PC or Dev box soon (also azure)

I’ve been using Remote Desktop to a windows environment in the cloud for a while. It’s been pretty great actually. As long as you have a Bluetooth mouse an IPad makes a great thin client in a pinch.

I know people want MacOs, but it’s a workaround that works.

Host the TOS on git and allow us to view it, easy

They are all getting more expensive and all losing quality content. It is becoming increasingly hard to find a specific show I want to watch. Sometimes it’s on Netflix, other times Hulu. Sometimes something I want to watch isn’t even being streamed. It’s just massively confusing.
