It’s been 6 years and the trolling is still paying dividends it’s wild

the press still exists. they just dont let them sit in the special little room that they livestream from.

Heck yeah, I appreciate you!

Oh my parents and their partners go to all the no kings rallies. I can see the size of the movement dwindling over time. I'm very happy someone is attempting to temper though, because, as I've said for a decade now, the hyperbolics drive way more support for your opponents than they do for your cause.

The executive (1/3rd of the government) being capricious with the press is _undoubtedly_ embarrassing and unamerican, but is so far away from the behavior of a true monarch that the name "no kings" is still farcical at best.

agents are very very far from being able to send rockets to the moon just because you prompt them to.

because writing the code was _never_ the hard part of solving problems.

At some point in your life you may wonder why you're angry and miserable. Creating burner accounts to call people names should be high on your list of choices to introspect.

There are infinite problems and agents help us solve problems faster. Sure they're not coding puzzles, they're actual problems actual human beings have, but they're still problems. Id way rather help a school district track its roster properly than argue with eslint. I'd rather get a rocket to the moon than triage garbage collection quirks too.

You're certainly welcome to miss what coding was, but being rude to engineers who are trying to build businesses is just as ridiculous and entitled as this article is.

You can love technology and still have thought that coding was a required path to get to technology and not the ends unto itself.

If someone loves building technology products that doesn't mean they were "only in it for the money". Beyond just being disparaging for no reason, you're missing the path out of the depression-pit here.

'Oracle is the good guy' is a sort of canary in the coal mine that perhaps you've got your worldview a bit upside down

You're conflating Holmes, Theranos and Balwani. Holmes was found not guilt of that which you accuse her of. That you also accuse others at the same time who where found guilty doesn't change that fact.

Important to note that in the original conception of western civilization, no one is 'innocent'. This idea that you have some secret special power to sniff out a persons true heart from a distance, which is separate from a jury of a persons peers studying and debating the evidence, is at best misguided and arrogant, and at worst a pernicious threat.
