About 17 years too late to be AI-first.

One of the issues in TM law is that if you don't defend it, folks can claim you're not using it.

Leads to perverse outcomes at times, especially in orgs big enough to have folks full time employed looking at such matters.

[Edit: I'm not saying this is good. Yes, cooler heads should prevail. I'm explaining what can lead it to occurring when it seems nonsensical.]

Ultimate test of a good place though if you ask when young.

I asked for my first grad role. I asked a lot of probing questions. 3 years in I was running teams and setting up operations for the business in another country for them. I even told them I’d be leaving to start my own business after this job (and did). This resonated because I was speaking to their founder at the time and knew we’d be cut from the same clothe.

Holding yourself back at a young age can just stunt your career development. Asking such questions will appeal to the right employer.

Unsurprisingly this one went from 35 to 150 staff, profitably in the 3 years I worked there. I was 22 when setting up other parts of their business. I’d started at 19.

I wouldn’t advise folks to avoid such questions just because they’re young or “need the job”. Stand out! You’re even more likely to get the job.

As noted by others here: if they react poorly to this in the interview, you already won by dodging a bullet.

Who to?

Armchair interest only, so please tell me if I'm wrong or at least we theorize how I could be wrong.

My understanding is that even in the full vacuum of space, we do not get to absolute zero. Quantum fluctuations keep it ever so slightly above it.

So perhaps information does actually not exist at absolute zero?

I’m sure it’s no coincidence that Apple is big in music and they don’t like Apple. Wonder what Tim is cooking up for Tim on this one.

Indeed the comment I’ve had surgeons point out: often the most skilled/trained person in the operating theatre is the anesthesiologist.

I should have said, I'm in New Zealand.

If you haven't watched it, Dopesick on Disney+ is an amazing telling of the background here. Highly recommend.

The irony of a developer website where everyone is pissed at somebody else's inability to do good estimates.

Yes that’s why I thought it odd to say the AWS devs have it hardest in the whole company. It’s not a competition though it always feels a bit silly to pretend back breaking physical labor is easier than sitting in an air conditioned office in a chair.

Yes, those poor AWS employees sure have it tough vs that warehouse division.
