Yes, and a lot of cope. No young person will read this, and "yeaah I should go to college to study for a CS degree." Job security is going to shit in most university specialties.

Unis are eating themselves alive; you have to be brain-dead to go there (maybe only to pursue a military officer career, as the world war ramps up) when the trades are so hot right now.

The target audience of this post is boomers and, I guess, some millenials not-yet-disu illusioned with, who look fondly back on their education.

Maybe they wanted to play a bit with eBPF... The only reasonable conclusion. Wait till they go beyond localhost and discover XDP!

They don't have to worry about people blocking DC construction in the US either. All new AI datacenters are designated "dual-use" so the federal government is already letting local councils know to fuck off.

Why are they still having this debate in 2026 when CodeAct have existed for years, and the LLM's are getting much better at coding in the first place?

The boy finally gets government regulation he's been begging for, in the form of total government control, becomes subservient to the corrupt, evil interests at the helm of that government, and ends up loving exactly none of it?

Hard disagree. I use 3.8 flash in Antigravity a lot, and thoroughly prefer it to most Pro-class models. It's really fast, and I've had it make crazy progress on compiler-like problems that previous models including Opus simply failed at. On ultra plan you can have it going for hours, and make incremental progress with good prompting for review interrupts. It solved a problem I couldn't solve for weeks in under 6 hours. 10k LOC total. The harness and test suite is key.

Having to put food on the table is one hell of a motivator.

I'm the opposite. Ignored it for so long, and had only signed up post-acquistion.

I'm sorry, but Elo is not an acronym for Electronic Light Orchestra. You don't write ELO, but simply Elo.
