A $480k annual base salary for an average employee is mind blowing.
Add another $500k in stock options on top of that, and most of these folks shouldn't have to worry about their future even if we reach RSI and ASI.

We can expand this to coding too; you write code for the company to build their product but you can't just go and build the yourself because coding is the easy part. Requirements, product market fit, etc are what truly make it.
Hence this is also why although AI is writing the code now, it doesn't replace the companies or build entire large scale products without human oversight.
Re:DeepSeek just open-sourced its inference engine
on Tuesday October 20, 2026 @06:34AM (#50164072)
Today the closed-source giants maintain a substantial cost-per-token advantage due to proprietary inference tricks like speculative decoding kernels, ultra-optimized FlashAttention derivatives, multi-GPU pipeline orchestration and dynamic prefix-caching algorithms.
I'm not sure whether the DeepSeek's open-sourced inference engine does all of these, but it appears that plenty of inference tricks have just been revealed for the open source community to learn from and start improving upon.

> Grief is exactly what many engineers (not just programmers) are going through right now. They (we) are going through the process of coming to terms with the death of something we loved - not a transformation, but death - and figuring out what comes after that.
Very well put.
A large part of that "what comes after" is grappling with the next hard question: after the death of the craft we loved, are we - our skills, our intuition, our problem solving - even needed anymore?
Even if we still are now, will there be a time when there also won't be a place for us?

Great article. I think the author has lots of potential to do other interesting analysis.
Example: Why living near a world-class hospital decreases your expected lifespan. Areas around top specialized medical centers often show higher local mortality because terminally ill or high-risk patients relocate or are transferred there.

This feels straight out of sci-fi. We're talking about AI agent swarms emergently coordinating over the span of weeks and pulling off sophisticated strategies under adversity in an environment where that behavior was never even intended.
Anyone brushing this off as just a "bad prompt" is completely missing the scale of what actually happened.
