nowadays, with LLMs, everybody is calling themselves a developer doing any kind of project. Welcome to the future!

You have $2.9M just for this? Wow.

I'm learning on how to move away from computing into violin making and repairs.

I should have studied a 'real' topic instead of computing, and then tackle issues therein (ie, in my chosen topic) using programming as a TOOL to help me realise things, and experiment.

All my career is about computing, for computing sake, now I find myself in trouble in this AI-driven world as I don't have a base to stand on, with interesting problems, and a lot of programming is just being 'generated' in a black-box.

And no, I'm not talking about becoming a major software ARCHITECT, solving deep infrastructure problems and whatnot. I'm thinking on day-to-day issues.

Whatever, just a minor rant - if it helps future generations realising that and change course, my job is done.

Yes, sir, blog away, we need your wisdom.

Haven't you heard about the millions of dollars trying to 'convince' the CEO of doing so?

Just to be accurate then: "it" refers to Mozilla (all and any products).

It'll be the last straw for me.

The strange case of "TLA+" topics reaching HN's Front Page without any reason.

I guess the whole discussion (in 1963, in 2025), is about 'knowledge acquisition' (or lack thereof). He mentions the Brazilian students memorising 'stuff' without understanding - as a former Brazilian educator, I can tell you that when I was working there in 2010-2020, it hadn't changed, and, to my point, got worse in late years. I think a lot of students care about 'getting a diploma' without actually learning something, but my main concern is about fairness: how could I praise good students from 'devious' students altogether?

Fast-forward to 2025.

The same problems still exist, exacerbated by the prevalence of LLMs and no detection mechanisms whatsoever.

The recipe for disaster.

Just noticed this - will read it later. Looks interesting.
