I loved those solaris machines in our department lab!

Nice perspective on languages in the AI era. I think AI should be used to build best performing and highly scalable software systems.

Imagine a situation where AI creates thousands of lines of code in a few repos and there is a Production issue and does get resolved by AI. How can humans jump in and resolve the bug without knowing anything about the code ?

He inflated the market on purpose for longer than needed. Every economist was screaming to stop and he also played games during elections by lowering interest rate when it was not needed. This only resulted in rates being higher for longer.

All H1B salaries are posted online. First of thats the law. Google , Facebook etc all post salaries of every H1B application. The salaries are always in top 5% of Software engineering salaries. You are making stuff up or ignorant of H1B process.

Trump’s EO - 100K H1B applies only to applicants from India, which is what Indian IT companies mainly focus on. Those who are in US or students on F1 visa are exempted and American companies like Amazon or FB or Google hire students or existing H1Bs.

Trump's EO is crafted to hurt only Indian IT companies like Infosys, Wipro etc. American companies are more or less excluded from the EO.

H1B is used to hire the best talent that gets paid big bucks as well as cheap talent that is paid less. Both are true. It depends on the company.

I haven't seen Google or FB or Amazon or other top tech companies pay H1B any less. They get paid pretty well.

But firing people (some might be on H1B too) and hiring H1B at the same time is meaningless.

Btw, if you want to stop people from getting fired, J Powell needs to be fired. He is keeping interest rates high for any sort of hiring. These same companies hired like crazy during 0% interest rate environment.

Kids make friends pretty easily when they go to school and later college. Only after graduating college it becomes very hard to make friends.

So one solution is have folks attend classes in schools and universities or even local libraries during weekends. Classes specifically designed for different age groups - 30s, 40s, 50s etc. Classes related music, personal finance, investing, art, sports, cooking etc

Govt should offer tax breaks for attending these classes. That would attract a lot of people.

I didnt know this existed. Would be pretty cool if they restart the service.

I totally agree. Trusting the LLM means, you are not thinking anymore and are happy with the high level ideas you had before you started coding, which may be incomplete. Missing pieces will be missed until you see issues in Production and I have seen this happen.

LLMs are doing more than that. They are doing so much that I have seen bad ideas creeping into the code base. I used to trust some engineers code, but with introduction of LLMs, I am working more on code reviews and unable to trust significant portions of code checked in.

A company's fiduciary duty is towards shareholders, which forces a mindset where Employees fiduciary duty should be towards themselves.

People will Unionize or create laws where companies's fiduciary duty should be towards both employees and shareholders.

Well, this is all until Elon's Robots will change everything :)

They all want GPUs and they are all trading off engineers for GPUs. That seems to be the culture right now :)

beep beep beep. They have alarms for that ! :) But nice fun project !
