> develop proprietary software

This is a weird strategy to stake future IP value on in the age of AI. With competent and fully qualified team, anyone should be able to reverse engineer this idea and build a roadmap for their own implementation. Especially in the world of open source.

Aquihiring also requires the personnel hired to... actually stay with the company....

Unless you dangle HEFTY stock options with incremental maturity dates, nothing is else is keeping them from leaving.

Pretty sure the second rectified the first.

PREACH. I have no idea why THIS has become the standard for illustrating model capabilities. It's endlessly frustrating when that was the initial objective for all these models, but, became increasingly clear over time that none of these models were ever capable of getting the desired output for complex software on the initial prompt.

The reality is: - business rules change - ideas for improvement may arise from the initial prompt - updates to submodules/functions/configs/secrets are BLOCKERS ... etc.

One shot prompting for the expecations of complete software is seemingly more and more a show of incompetence of the use of this technology. It's like trying to make my toddler eat a ham sandwich from the peanut butter & jelly I put in front of him.

This sounds like a process + human problem, not a technology problem. To me, it sounds like your team lacks discipline and competence. Sorry bud, going to categorically disagree with your sentiment that git is terrible.

I FEEL this. It's empowered lazy devs to defer thought and accountability. To some degree, I understand. It softens the imposter syndrome feeling one can get. But, I see it as a character barrier; not a moral one.

Ah, yes. California. Where large swathes of costal areas hover between 60ºF and 80ºF. We are talking about Nevada the weather of locality matters and where it can be supremely hot.

Dude, the funding of USAID yielded so much soft power for 0.3% of the federal budget. You indolent, unempathetic monster.

You want to cut the federal debt, where should we look to where the wealth has been hoarded?

Great idea. But, I'm will to wait for the AI sloppified OSS version of this.

You could literally eliminate homelessness, world hunger, and fully pay health care costs in that same timeframe with much less cash.
