Street parking in the core makes what would be a manageable amount of snow into a disaster like 2 weeks a year minimum because plows can't get down older streets.

I genuinely use AI all day every day so it isn't just based on nothing. The PMs I work with have no interest in speccing the technical side of solutions out at all, and vibed specs aren't even close to being one shottable yet.

I disagree, I think being able to specify and validate a product is a massive skill that will be in high demand for a while yet.

Natural language is too lossy for most usecases and people are bad at being specific enough to get what they want. For example, I am not creative enough to think of movie ideas compared to good directors so I will probably just pay to see what they cook up rather than try to make it myself.

I am genuinely doing it for free in my free time on top of my work (in fact I pay for the models) so I am doing it for less than peanuts. I completely disagree w/r/t the model take, their is skill in steering work to get a product done that is what management has always been about, I do think in the long run this will be automated but I have seen 0 progress on it so far.

Coding has already gone this way and plenty of people do find motivation and glory in the final product vs. the building of the product (myself included). I absolutely see value in a person being able to humanize llm math output and see the field moving in that direction.

Silicon Valley was freaking out last democrat admin because anti trust laws were actually being enforced finally by Lina Khan, I actually completely disagree and I think this admin has been very obviously worse.

I actually heard the opposite, the folks at Anthropic felt pretty confident they were ahead after the Astra release because it wasn't as good as they were expecting.

Yes but at some point there is diminishing returns in model quality. Most people don't need a model that can solve Navier-Stokes to write emails for them.

Constantly ripping up trade/other deals that were signed in the last decade is unreliable and hard to plan around.

The login issue is extremely annoying, at least mandating an xcancel link would fix that.
