I tag my travel email as trips.

What I got out of this... Plan better next time, to not run out of gas.

Their stats are weird. Where is Android in the mix? Why break out OS X and MacOS?

First you complain about AI writing unmaintainable junk and then admit you know where the demons in your code live. You are defensive. One thing I have found coding very complex financial models and trading systems is that they’re difficult and many times brittle, getting others to write code is time consuming and frustrating. Getting AI to write the same thing is fast and not at all tedious, it just gets the job done, no complaining, no rightous arguments. AI can pick up a new protocol and build a complex system in mere minutes where a normal intermediate coder would take a week to get up to speed. When set up properly it makes me from 5 to 10 times as productive and costs far less. Offshoring is definitely dead, constulants gone and at least half the coders at most organizations should start looking for other work asap.

A college economics professor explained nyc rentals to our class and how people found them ending that they were following ambulances to see where people might have died. Shortage of space was his explanation.

Great idea. I am sure MORE government intervention will make this so much better. If I lived in San Francisco still I’d be getting a generator.

There’s a lot in a name.

Yuck!

Clippy was too stupid to qualify as an AI.

I used to own a house in California which I swore was peach, my coworker told me face it the house is pink.

“ and from an influx of Chinese competitors that have been able to undercut traditional brands.”

All you need to know.

It has been obvious for at least 10 years that the Yuan is undervalued allowing China to undercut and undermine all your local companies.

Admit to having drank the koolaide, it is the first step. I wrote an entire system with tech I barely understand (duckdb), next.js etc, made 7 to 10 iterations per day, and multiple new functions and integrations in hours all while doing my main job. What does the code look like ???. It works, I do not care. Can the AI modify it in under 5 minutes, yes. New features that would take minimal a week, got done in 2 to 3 minutes. Did the AI ever complain, no it did not. Anyone who thinks they will be hand coding going forward is completely fooling themselves. The AI tests better than most engineers. When asked it builds flawless test harnesses and even suggests better solutions. Never going back.

Is ok, the AI was going to replace them in a few weeks anyway.

I remember a junior dev who thought he was done when his code conpiled without syntax errors.
