So it started by bunch of losers seeking fame in insulting others.

I understand the stupidity in today's internet is out of proportions, but Muslims themselves burn Quoran to dispose of it. The sole intention of the losers here is to insult a large group of people. The retaliation is coming in several forms including the call to bankrupt such miningless countries and that's a good thing. The exact reason why Denmark and Sweden are banning acts of hate speech against Muslims.

Now you are writing that (selective) hate speech should be free and protected and all retaliations should be banned.. which is funny because it's not how the world works and you don't get to dictate the rules.

> government should not intervene

when the government shouldn't intervene? when there's hate speech against Muslims or when the Muslims retaliate?

can an AI build an entire functioning backend with tests, DBs, queues, ..?

can an AI debug/profile/.. entire distributed backend, find what's wrong and add at least one integration test so it won't happen again?

can an AI setup all the devops pipelines, setup monitoring and alerting?

can management trust what an AI spits and put it in prod?

if the answer is no to one or more to the above, then my job is secure.

the better question..

am I using the latest GPTs to do my work and save a lot of time and get more things done? hell yes

Probably a pill hard to swallow for HR, I would never be more productive than from my home. I put weeks tweaking my environment for maximum productivity, I will never shy off from wearing comfy clothes and using the washroom, adjusting temperature as needed (as somebody with a higher metabolism than average). Working remotely I am being askded about the progress of work rather than why I left 5min earlier..

I understand it works better for companies too, larger talent pool, reduced costs. The negatively affected entities are neither the employees nor the the employers.

came for this.. nah I am fine sending pdf invoices. It takes 2min and they take 0% from my payment.

I wonder when are they going to punish the US for occupying Syria and stealing its oil.

it's the cycle of civilizations and English got a turn, I agree that's the way. But the issue for most places is the fear to loose their language and identity slowly.. Pushing their own language in schools and universities is a way to keep it alive but does sacrifice people and leave them behind.. I come from a place where English is the third language and I can see the pain of brilliant people left behind because of that.

Such a stange response to a valid issue. This is leaving brilliant minds behind for loosing the lottery of not being born in a native English speaking land. I have no idea why this comment is showing up in top..

The struggle is real, while I was in academia, I got to know brilliant people who didn't make it far enough because they had it in their own native language for too long and it became too late to invest a year or so working on their English..

we use the number of closed tasks/user stories but also came across people gaming those too. Lower the scope and cut corners (shitty design, superficial meaningless unit tests, ...). The point I understood, is stay away from people gaming things and have a management tech savy too.. I wroked in a company where the CTO is tech illeterate and everyone is gaming everything, I worked somewhere else where the CTO is the smartest and most tech savy person I have ever met and gaming anything there becomes obvious and people are shown the door out of nowhere (yet for a good reason).

can't agree more!

One of the main criteria for picking up a product in my workplace is the product taking the free software path and companies self hosting their own free software product.. We did it with the Graphana labs, Elasticsearch, ... We are paying anyways for such services so now we are Using a service + contributing indirectly to its free software business path and we love it.
