On a recent episode of the All In podcast, one of the hosts made a remark along the lines of "in the future [when AI has replaced the knowledge worker], insatiable demand will exist for people who are experts in querying NLPs." I think we're seeing that here.

Relationship goals

Totally. I opened the site and thought "Ok this is cool," but didn't get much further.

This product gives me the same sketchy vibes as Mighty[1]. There's absolutely no way I'm going to give up one of my most sacred tools to a funded company whose going to expose my every click.

I wondered the same. Then I realized it sends out requests to googleapis, segment, and sentry. Imagine having data on every dev's terminal workflow? Ca$h.

Has anyone pivoted out of tech completely? What was your experience like?

Very cool

Recently joined a FAANG and did this same thing last week. 0 chance I'd install company software on my personal device.

tl;dr:

Silver: "Shit... I was so close to Gold." Bronze: "Damn, I medaled!"

In large-ish meetings (3+ attendees), I usually turn off my camera (and mute my mic) when I'm not the one talking. For less formal meetings I might relax this. But, in general, I've found that keeping cameras and mics on at all times usually derail meetings.

If, like me, you're interested in the subject matter of this book, I recommend reading The Undoing Project by Michael Lewis instead.

This is my thought as well. I get the "make productive engineers even more productive" angle, but productive engineers' bottleneck isn't coding. Sure, coding up a boilerplate Go web server is tedious, but I have done it so many times that it takes me two seconds now.

On the flip side, coding can be the bottleneck for the worst kind of coder. When I first started coding, coding was hard simply because I had very little reps and was just learning to understand how to code common solutions, data structures, libraries, etc. Fast forward a few years and, if I were still struggling to understand these concepts, Copilot is a lifeline.

Remote coding interviews just got 100x easier.
