It’s a good student writing the piece, which is somehow fundamentally pretentious

You seem to be projecting some issues onto this student from your own childhood experience. Maybe look into that

Selfishness isn’t the solution try again

I don’t think the time in school will miraculously become more efficient bc of no homework.

Your second point… so what

You sound old. No one I know under the age of 30 uses Google. It’s all ChatGPT
I mean they can try. They’re not gonna be very good at it

The way to do this is to chew people out when they let their own sources get in the way of doing a good job

They should use different tools then.

Malleable software enables infinite variations of tools when the correct number is in the single digits.

Re:An Engineer's Perspective on Hiring on Sunday August 10, 2025 @12:06AM (#44852675)
The best interview process I’ve ever done is sitting down with the team for 3 days, crashing on the founders couch for the weekend and shipping code

The worst ones were the leetcode interviews I couldn’t pass

The best way to do this has always been to accept a ton of students and weed out a big percent of them in intro courses.

Have the basic grades and test scores? Ok welcome to CS1 where 2/3 of you will not make it thanks for playing

That’s not gaming that’s cheating.

Re:A.I. Researchers Are Negotiating $250M Pay Packages on Saturday August 02, 2025 @10:05AM (#44767747)
Yeah, you could definitely look at it that way. They are IC roles in the sense that their job is to tell computer computers what to do but maybe that’s old-fashioned thinking at this point.
Re:A.I. Researchers Are Negotiating $250M Pay Packages on Saturday August 02, 2025 @10:04AM (#44767739)
Even amongst the packages, there is a range. One example package was 100 guaranteed up to 250 based on milestones and incentives over five years
Re:A.I. Researchers Are Negotiating $250M Pay Packages on Saturday August 02, 2025 @08:20AM (#44767002)
Source: I know people who have both accepted and declined 100M+ packages

They are IC roles for the most part

1% layoff why does this even matter. They have more than that in natural attrition in a quarter
Re:Atlassian terminates 150 staff with pre-recorded video on Friday August 01, 2025 @03:45PM (#44761513)
If I got laid off I would want it in an email. I’m losing my job no matter what might as well have it in writing and no bullshit
