Not necessarily. Personally, I'm both in love with AI (likely to upvote a convo) and scared about the short/medium term societal changes its job displacement will bring.

To reduce the insider trading's attack surface, we should first reduce the things a govt can control or legislate on.

Excellent article. Based on personal experience, if you build cutting edge stuff then you need great engineers and reviewers.

But for anything else, you just need an individual (not a team) who's okay (not great) at multiple things (architecting, coding, communicating, keeping costs down, testing their stuff). Let them build and operate something from start to finish without reviewing. Judge it by how well their produce works.

That's okay I guess? The negative part is the smell, which these glasses can't convey.

Every single thing one does in life is a gamble that carries a probability of success.

Getting a degree. Investing in a business. Investing in a relationship. Having kids. Smoking. Booking a flight cheaper but with no possibility of cancellation. Moving town. Not moving town.

I could go on forever.

Everything is a gamble. Some forms of gambling are more socially acceptable than others.

The difference, in everyhthing, is emotional control and knowing how much you stand to lose if it goes wrong.

Excellent article. It's even worse for people who can build and run small/medium products end-to-end (coding, infra, handling prospects and customers directly, being mindful of costs) and are made to report to engineering managers, who clearly understand only the coding part.

Simple solution: do infra work every few months instead of every few weeks.
