The point of datacenters in space is about control not economics. They dont want the masses which they are trying to replace with AI and robots to have access to the datacenters running everything.

Anytime you see a lot of media claiming there is a shortage of some career it's a negative signal. The field will shortly be flooded

Cant recall ever being weighed as a passenger and in this day and age you have passengers who are 120 lbs and 300 lbs yet you get penalized if your suitcase is 1 lbs over the limit.

I think the goal is to replace workers who cost $10,000/mo with an AI agent that costs $8,000/mo

Nobody cares how much learning you did but how hard it was to get into the university you got your piece of paper from. Coding bootcamps eventually figured this out so they started to have selective admissions. Universities like Harvard have rampant grade inflation and you have to try to fail out of yet still have prestige due to selective admissions.

My cynical take why TUIs are back is because people operating in the terminal became a signal that you were competent and once people figured that out everybody started doing it. The reason people were operating in the terminal is lost of them but hey it makes you look like a 1337 hacker. It's the same thing with side projects of past decades. People who had side projects cared about the craft for more than a paycheck and tended to be more competent. Then every person just trying to land a job suddenly had "side projects". Gotta have those green squares on github.

>I genuinely challenge someone spending $5-$10k a month to demonstrate how that turns into $50-$100k in value

At a lot of businesses $5-10k/mo of AI spend doesnt even translate into $5-10k/mo value. Churning out code was rarely the business value bottleneck. It was convenient for everybody else to blame developers not writing code fast enough for their failures. Now they have no excuse but I doubt will own up.

Grade inflation and schools passing kids who should fail to game metrics and keep collecting student loans is a problem. I wouldnt consider hiring anybody from my alma mater who didnt score a sandard deviation or higher on the tests.

They dont want to build the next git they want to build the next Github. It will have one of those licenses where you can use it but not offer a managed service like the Elastic License

This article is just describing Clojure. The SUPER principals are describing the native natural way of writing Clojure, no category theory needed.
