Walmart is able to offer lower prices because it does not pay its employees enough. The people being hurt is the society at large that has to allocate taxes towards SNAP and other social benefits so that Walmart can continue to underpay people. Those resources could go to other programs. That is why Walmart is bad.

Out of curiosity why not look at Flutter? I know you don't get native look-and-feel, but most apps are branded who cares?

Won't someone think of the share holders?! How are Tata or Cap Gemini going to provide America with substandard contractors without first having substandard contractors physically in the US?

I think the term vibe coded is unclear. I use agents to do most of my coding work now. Some might call it vibe coded. I use spec driven development of my own design. While the applications are relatively simple, they are reasonably well architected and maintainable.

Some would say I a, vibe coding since I don’t really write the code. I say I’m not because I’m thinking through the features more than vibe coders.

Is aberration for the ground you claim? My understanding is that in the west up until recently prisons were uncommon due to cost. The courts either fined you or they killed you. You might’ve been part of a Work gang, but the goal was to kill you.

The average Georgian plumber has higher purchasing power than the average German doctor. In order for the United States to balance its medical books, doctors will have to be paid dramatically less than they are at present. Perhaps there’s a deal to be made where doctors take the hit, but all of their debt is paid off by the state. Going forward medical school is free, but like in Germany you have to qualify, I mean really qualify to even get your foot in the college door. That’s an expectation change for the United States population on all fronts. We don’t do well with expectation changes.

I think it’s because Americans been taught that were democracy, not a federal system, but that’s exactly where we expect to do these kinds of reforms. The federal government could reasonably set certain regulatory requirements. The states would need to make sure that any provider within it conforms to the federal levels, you know like auto manufacturing and exhaust emissions. Seems doable. Unfortunately we’re gonna have to wait for the boomers to die because they’re the ones that have gotten theirs and they’ve screw everyone else. Also, unfortunately, the millennials are gonna have to take it on the chin like we have for so much else and realize there is going to be some lost jobs.

Try using Digital Ocean. Minutes spent on inference.

I think you and the author are arguing the same point. The middle class offer developer that’s unskilled is going to be on the chopping block. Let’s say that there’s a robot that can now be a sous chef. If you have a good sous chef, you might keep that person. If the sous chef poorly executed her role, the new robot sous chef is probably looking pretty good. Fundamentally this is an hollowing out of the middle class. Arguably these people should not have had a job, but they provided just enough benefit that they weren’t fired.

There are approximately 250,000 to 300,000 H-1B workers in software development in the United States at any given year. No the general idea behind the program is that these hundreds of thousands of individuals are so highly skilled that there are no Americans able to fulfill the role. While I fully agree with you on all the topics about financing and interest rates, here’s my question: would there be as slow of a market for software development if those hundreds of thousands of individuals were not here? There was a court case that showed the H1B visas reduced salaries by about 30%. The court ruled that 30% is not a large enough number to say that it has a negative impact on the market. Others disagreed.

I don't fall in the ring category, but I will be voting Democrat for the first time. That's how bad this is getting for me. I have real reasons to hate the Democrats as a party, but I'm scared of them less than the modern Republicans .

What does winning them over look like? Are the Taiwanese supposed to come to the CCP with open arms?

Go was never simple in action. The fact that you'd panic a nil map but not a nil slice is a foot gun. It's a pretty big foot gun. It's just one of the many foot guns.

You might be surprised. I've had an AI start spitting out none functioning python code. I've rewritten it with Go. The requirements are that every change has to pass compilation, linting and tests. Same requirements as Python. Go keeps the AI on the rails better. The compilation failing provides quick and probably better feedback than a whole dictionary of tests.
