A software engineer who built Maestro. See the case study at https://maestro-framework.github.io/.

After Maestro, worked with a fast-growing startup (Re:amaze) and that later got acquired by a large company (GoDaddy).

Then worked to build the future of financial infrastructure at Prime Trust.

Finally, working to break down language barriers with DeepL, the best online translator powered by AI (better than google translate, widely recognized as the industry leader).

They don't know what they are saying. They just wanted to sprinkle in some anti-Europe sentiment.

> Am I the only one who find it disturbing that a privacy focused service publishes a detailed report of which institutions is accessing their service

I don't find it disturbing at all, and it's perfectly in line with what you would expect a privacy focused service to do: name and shame those that are attacking privacy.

Uniquely software "engineering" way to do things. And it works, because our code is dispensable, zero-cost stuff.

This is exactly what he's talking about. It's not one-click

It fails the "How many r's in <word>?" test.

I ask:

It answers:

> Diminished has 1 r.

Dear @stackoverflow team,

The links to the previous years' data (2024 and earlier) are all broken, and lead to a 404 not found.

Sincerely, a user that wants to use your site

People famously have different stated and revealed preferences. They claim one thing, and yes they fully believe it, even if the evidence is extremely strong to the contrary.

50% staying in the career means 50% reduction. That's not very optimistic at all!

It has less to do with skill than it does with luck now. AI has greatly evened the playing field between the less-skilled and the more-skilled.

If your views changed that quickly, then I don't know what to say. Your priors definitely need adjusting, and perhaps consider the way you evaluate the future.

It was pretty clear even 2 years ago. Now it's happening right on schedule.

I reached acceptance Spring 2025. That's when I accepted I will eventually be outsourced, and I need to pivot. 1.5 years later, I'm a commercial pilot, and as I continue training, will hopefully be able to pivot here soon.

This is what really made me think to my self, "holy shit". I can't believe not more people are noticing and talking about this. Unless perhaps they didn't actually read the README, and are just talking about what they heard from someone who also didn't read it?

Don't worry, next month's internal model will be able to posit all the next big questions that matter.
