I wonder if the solution is simply to focus and effectively use resources so you can be effective and ambitious in a reasonable number of hours. Which is fine for 99.99%. Only if you are at the helm of discovering a revolution in physics or changing the world in some other way then go all in when you have kids. Which today is rare since team work makes the dream work way more. Of course there is greed. If you are greedy that is a different thing.

Seems like a boring bet. The Github way of working is from the anthropocene era. We need new primitives for agents invokved in tech solutions. Pull requests? Issues? CI? They all seem like they'll go away. Cursor should be leading the new things that replace them.

Every startup is named like these though so it is sorta biased.

Or just increase minimum wage. 3x maybe?
Same thing, and simpler to do than making new law. I always prefer keeping tax simple!

This is simply, a monopoly. Whatever mechanism they came up with to squeeze the final dollars out of the system, such a system would exist because they can.

"Takes down" would be better than "kills". Kills sort of may imply they created it in the first place.

Yes could be a pipe failure. Commonly used for coverage or security concerns, it could be also used for PR size.

I mean popular as in by actual usage rather than emotion/hype. It is usually boring that is popular from what I see.
Agree about LLM not choosing tech. Although that could mean dictating upfront or let it choose then review/steer.

Donkey is also a collective noun for the donkeys and so the army that is the donkey wins.

I find agents default to popular which heavily overlaps with boring although you could steer them more boring for sure.

Thanks for the post Geoffrey. I have been thinking about this a bit and wanted to come to these sorts of conclusions, you have saved me a lot of work (lol I have no ego that I have to figure it out I am happy you did).
Cog debt even on simple PRs is big and also cog debt when using AI to do organizational research e.g. what team do I ask?
