Thanks, number of incidents and rollbacks is interesting, whats the field, how many customers?

PRs merged and reviewed is a bit of a joke :)

Technology, including LLMs is a tool, without agency of its own, as such it's netheir intrinsically good or bad. What defines that is the entity with agency, despite what labs would have you think this is still employees, corpos and governments.

Imagine for a moment star trek like society where one needs not toil for corpos to have their basic needs met. In such a scenario is better LLM good or bad? Would you fight to go back to cubicle then?

I posit we should not scrutinize technological progress itself or try to resist it's adoption, but rather look at people who shape the policies around it and how our society is structured, which is politicians and to larger extent us who live in democracies around election time.

In fact, I believe we should accelerate AI adoption in order to emphasise the impacts of the disruption and shortcomings of current societal structures and norms thus shortening the Unstable Era ushering a new AI driven heaven on earth...

... or we all just get marched into the recycling vats, it's a coin toss at this point I guess...

> All metrics are up.

Kindly enumerate the metrics.

"All metrics is up" is a message The Communist Party approves wholeheartedly. 5 year plan delivered in 1 year, give this comrade a medal! anyone?

> Unless AI automates SWE completely. Which I don't think will happen. If AI is that powerful, it would be a completely different world.

This is stated main goal many are persueing at this point.

It's a choice, if you want social status you need to participate in the dance. I haven't made the rules .

You'll be put in a box with the rest of the worker bees, useful for the time being, but not sophisticated enough and able of displaying higher behaviours and definitely not worthy elevating into the inner circle.

good observation, it also cant produce flux capacitors of acceptable cochrane factor, quite puzzling

Is it ok to send DMs to your side piece when your partner is away?

Employer relationships are not much different, if you choose to do it, do it on the sly or suffer the consequence ;)

If you are a contractor (bachelor) situation may be different...

right, but what I mean more specifically is AI assisted or conducted interviews and specifically in the EU, which is notoriously behind US on tech adoption.

I would say hiring is picking up now at least in europe. partially driven by re-arming and deep tech efforts.

think we gonna see a lot of AI interviews very soon, which I think is a bit meh, but probably better than what we had before with grinding leetcode, which is a complete waste of time.

Anything in physical world, digital is lost forever..

Robots will eventually encroach on physical too, then the subset will shrink to "physical world with required human interaction".

For me the question now is whether we will ever get a place where humans will prefer to interact with embodied AI robots over other humans.

My read is that If your codebase needs a lot of unsafe - on intersection of hw, need a lot of memory allocations with custom memory allocators, can take advantage of comptime, using a lot of c dependencies anyway. Maybe zig makes sense? It's a very niche space.

Arch for last 5 years, never had issues, but I also buy laptops specifically with Linux support.

Pompous and full of air really sums it up well. As such I usually have to completely ignore and rework generated README / code comments.

Is this just an elaborate scheme to increase in/out token churn or are we hitting some kind of LLM limitations I wonder?

Code was garbage before AI, now it's still garbage, but I don't have to take it out anymore. Amazing.

Juniors are doomed, nobody is writing anything ever again by hand.

Still requires a human in the loop to make coffee...

Looking forward to being sent to a foggy planet in foreign start system to collect alien eggs for a daily nutripaste and bunk bed with corporate issuesd blanket.

depends on the industry .. for 80% of jobs 0 coding knowledge will be needed in 10 years.

for ai research, safety, aerospace, military, trading, gamedev .. those will probably still need coding for a bit longer.

I suppose one would have to work in a very specific novel and niche area to go against the grain and chose stacks that are not chosen by majority.

I suppose work organisation, leadership, soft skills, working in areas with inherent uncertainty will be key for defending employment in near future

They can be easily replaced. I suspect we are just engaging in a form of self deception by thinking these choices we make are more than arbitrary decisions driven by nothing but our taste...

> There is a clear multi-step skills roadmap everyone is following with expectations per role/department

interesting... I suppose this requires someone at the company actually knowing what the roadmap and desired end goal should be, I feel like exactly this is lacking in a lot of places right now

interesting insights, thanks

hustle never ends...

market is genuinely tough right now, dont beat yourself over it. persistence is key right now.

Morrowind is something really special and unlike oblivion It. Just. Works.

In my humble human opinion everything digital has been or shortly will be conquered by AI.

You can either embrace it, learn to how to use and deploy AI or try to find a way out into the real world, until robotics will inevitably catch you in several years, for some professions with manual aspect you could have maybe decades of time.

did you consider tier 2, semiconductor suppliers qualcomm, nxp or go tier 3 - arm? I would say these will allow more technical depth than tier 1s, but will remove you from the end customer product, and some people find that unsatisfying.

customer facing companies with engineering culture also come to mind, apple, google etc. I assume you are in Europe? you have Bosch Research, Fraunhofer or Dolby in US, this might overlap with your stated experience.

I dont have experience in quants or trading but I heard they can go pretty deep and hard.

I focus more on specs, product and outside behavior these days. Colleague showed me a fancy plugin he made for emacs today at work. I congratulated his efforts and mentioned I dont open text editors anymore :shrug: ...
