lot of people here are criticising the set of features stuck together or "janky crap"...I don't know where you work, but I have seen a lot of that in all my career, and still do... and it was done by humans. The difference is that ai is doing it faster and can also quickly change it in the future, so not really sure it's the same level of problems. This is a big change in how we think about software development, bugs, and features tbh in terms of speed of reaction, identifying problems and caring about janky code or performance, because solving those problems, if they present themselves, is cheaper than before.

that's an authentic photo, not the subject/image, the photo is authentic.

I thought exactly the same things about the illumination, i feel like it's too much "look how cool rtx is" and not enough "this should be scary and dark". In this, and other demos, i also felt like refractions are exaggerated, like floors that seem like mirrors is not really realistic to the end user. Sometimes it reminds me of when hdr pics came out and everyone was overdoing it. (But it should be a settings problem more than anything else!)

If one was a coder once, they don't need to keep coding to understand what a coder does. Plus it's a bit hard to be a manager of different profiles and different stacks and understand what everyone does from a coding point of view (different stack, different frameworks and abstractions etc) especially while time passes and tech changes so much, so quickly.

I do agree that it's important for a coder to keep coding but mostly for the manager itself as it's removes some of the old biases and it's a continuous learning process on something that, technically speaking, they should be passionate about. Plus it does help to have conversations with other developers and don't sound like a person who only listens to vivaldi at a dnb concert.

I have wrote an article a year ago about this. https://medium.com/fever-engineering/on-hiring-great-talent-...

tbh it's very hard, in general, to assess someone skills in ~1 hour, with the diverse set of problems we face everyday and people/companies often focus too much on "previous relevant experience" (do you know this?) instead of thought process and depth of understanding (how much have you understood what you have done) which, to me, gives more insights on someone personality and attitude and ability to learn new things and becomes harder to cheat on (you can memorize "cracking the code interview" and be a hero on leetcode and still have no idea about how to write good software, take decisions or work in a team :)

in the same society there are people that don't follow the bad habit advertised by society and with the amount of information and alternatives present today, I am sorry, but it's too easy to blame "society" and wait for someone else to do something. It's up to them. The solution won't come from anywhere else and yes, we can simply be better.

priority matters though, if you want to go full Apple with UI/UX then you need to lock the UI/UX for years, like Apple does, and refine every little thing to bring a fully ecstatic UX to the user. Or accept that most users won't notice that or wouldn't mind it behaving like that and build new features that will bring useful behaviours to the app (and revenue to the company). If you have to spend 50 hours to explain why it's a bug, most likely only you care about it. In some cases it may matter to be THAT precise with UI/UX and it's cool, not saying i don't appreciate quality but you can't have everything. One thing I'd like to point out is that most of the time it isn't even a matter of priority, lots of dev energy gets wasted in useless refactors and picking "the right library/framework" and building the "next outdated design library", instead of being used to improve things ;)

it's not magic, processed food is something recent, sugary food/drinks is something recent, bad habits and lazy sedentary life is something recent. if you don't see this then I don't know how to explain it to you. It's habit related and habit can be fixed, pills are not the best solution in my opinion.

there's studied that say between 1 and 2 years, that sounds like short time to me.

1% of people have that root cause. The stuff I have seen in the united states is not root cause it's just bad habits. happy for them to get any pills, injection or whatever they think they need to feel good and better. Lazy people, lazy solution. We'll see long term how that works out, as much as anything diet related the usa has implemented in the past 50 years.
