You might want to get that checked out.

RTOs are most often a “one free layoff”-card that businesses play, so firing someone for criticizing it is very much in line with the underlying intent of the policy.

Complete hands-off no-review no-technical experience vibe coding is obviously snake oil, yeah.

This is a pretty large problem when it comes to learning about LLM-based tooling: lots of noise, very little signal.

So far, there is serious cognitive step needed that LLM just can’t do to get productive. They can output code but they don’t understand what’s going on. They don’t grasp architecture. Large projects don’t fit on their token window.

There’s a remarkably effective solution for this, that helps both humans and models alike - write documentation.

It’s actually kind of funny how the LLM wave has sparked a renaissance of high-quality documentation. Who would have thought?

Must be ragebait, right?

The right-wing that is currently in power doesn’t really see it that way, unfortunately.

good benefits and perks.

Didn’t they literally just introduce free coffee at the office post-pandemic?

Not to say that I would willingly choose to work at Amazon, but I do know the reason. It’s documented here: https://www.levels.fyi/companies/amazon/salaries/software-engineer

I’m not sure it’s even possible for me to cringe harder at this point

Wind and solar just aren’t enough.

Wind + solar + storage is both enough and beating nuclear at this point, and by the time the next nuclear power plant actually manages to get online, the calculation will be even further in favour of that mix, on account of the absolutely plummeting cost of storage, which is following the same trend as solar used to, with costs reductions >98%. Not to mention the built-in resilience you get from having a more widely distributed instead of having a few nodes producing the lion’s share of your power.

I don’t have any ideological opposition to nuclear. If you manage to build it without massive subsidies and taking care of your waste, feel free to build them. That’s happening in exactly 0 places worldwide though.
