What purpose does AI serve here apart from lowering costs by generating a plan?

Especially if I need to ‘consult an expert’ isn’t this just a customer company using AI?

Yes you have full control over when you use ai and when you don’t

Not sure if it’s biased, it’s a serious limitation of the technology. Some countries are already struggling with their energy grid and water demands as is.

I think it’s fair to ensure that you create something that isn’t subject to possible quotas in the future

Probably because basecamp is a product by 37Signals
Re:Figma and Adobe are abandoning our proposed merger on Tuesday December 19, 2023 @07:42AM (#38694838)
It’s not about the quality of the tool but the fact that regulators will most likely think that this merger will violate anti-trust laws and lawyers from both companies can’t argue for why this isn’t the case

Good on them, if you want a spot at a top uni/college you need to deserve it

Re:The collapsing quality of dev.to (2021) on Saturday June 25, 2022 @02:21AM (#31873012)
I'm very glad that others are observing this as well. My last DEV post was literally the question of where I should hang out with possible future content to discuss on a more intermediate level.

It's great that beginners can start by diving into DEV but at some point you're just not a beginner anymore but because of all the noise your only option is to move on. Even if you put your 'experience level' to expert the relevant content shown in the DEV feed is for beginners. I think 'fostering a community for experienced developers' is really the only way for DEV if it wants to move beyond beginners.

Definitely, just not right now. As far as I know most western countries have stopped taking in Russian citizens.
Honest question from someone from the Netherlands: when are kids in the states old enough for these topics?

Me and all of my friends were thaught the fundamentals of algebra & trigonomatry (admittedly not calculus) at 13 years old. I had no idea the wasn't the case in the US and it honestly kind of blows my mind.

If you want to write software using principles from linear algebra you should definitely google some computer graphics courses
Re:Hacker News sentiment towards Big Tech companies on Sunday January 17, 2021 @01:54PM (#25813664)
Right? Effectively these graphs do not communicate anything other than the numbers of comments on big tech companies over time.
Online lectures in a lot of uni's will still happen in real time. Meaning that some students have to take classes at 3 AM. Being in the same time zone will still make a difference for a lot of them.
Re:Teach Yourself Computer Science on Sunday June 21, 2020 @06:33AM (#23591189)
A lot of people link CS with a career as software engineer for the web but leave out a lot of other software engineering and research opportunities. I get that a deep knowledge of CS doesn't always directly help while doing web development but it can really help in other area's of software development (embedded systems, OS, graphics, etc.)

Re:Falsehoods CS Students (Still) Believe Upon Graduating on Monday November 11, 2019 @12:01AM (#21502272)
Unfortunately I really know people in my class who believe that if people are in fear of getting fired and missing deadlines they will be more productive :/
Re:Consume less, create more on Saturday August 24, 2019 @08:41AM (#20786804)
To be fair creating something that has to resemble someone else's vision feels very different from creating something that you envision yourself.

Finding balance is important and apart from that I guess not everyone likes creating stuff equally.

(Edit: grammar lol)

I feel you. Unfortunately if a feature or product doesn't hit the high numbers Google kills it.

Scary, I just got mine for vacation purposes but stories like this definitely remind me to not put too much money on that card
