All companies are trimming fat by reducing headcount and the cover for that is "AI"

Regular ppl i.e non-techies love the copilot integration into all office products. Since techies know better, they think microsoft messed up with the AI integration everywhere.

If you have worked in a sufficiently big org this would have been normal to you. Executive assistants send mail which purports to come from the executive himself. That is the kinda thing which happened here.

Time Travel sadly is fictional

Plot of the movie upgrade (2018)

The point is this Exoatmospheric Kill Vehicle tech is form 1989, how the tech would have evolved 40 years later who knows.

Memento was his peak and he hit new highs with inception ... its been all downhill after that ...

you know this is why china and russia were stealing data, so that they can provide you backups if you lost yours /s

they should provide and option for multi-AZ with drone defenders now

1. There is no single "the right way", different app have different "right ways" 2. As for the flat fee, it only works initially when things are simple, as time goes on and your business and usecases you support grows, a flat fee won't work anymore.

I collect stamps and DDR is what I know of. The warsaw pact countries used to produce amazing stamps.

probably South Africa?

Windows defender has the uncanny ability of spiking up its resource usage at just the wrong time. Add in MS teams into the mix and the system just starts screaming.

Bro, you have "grass is greener on the other side" syndrome. China is a totalitarian state not comparable to the US. Take this from a non-US citizen. There maybe some backsliding or ppl may think things are worsening in the US, but US citizens always have the power to make things right, coz they are free and they can bear arms.

One meal ... many snacks?

If you know your access patterns really well and they are non-relational, then you can design the best possible tables for dyanmoDB. In such a case DynamoDB works and scales amazingly. Ofc, you cannot do multi table relationships etc shoehorning a relational scheme onto DynamoDB does not work.

"AI" is just a cover for laying ppl off and saving cost. But the pendulum will swing the the other way and the companies will realise that knowledgeable ppl are still required to generate and utilize the generated code. No serious company can run with vibe-coded apps generated by laymen.

Exactly goalposts need to keep moving

NOSQL works out really well when you know the access patterns you are working with, if not it will be like pegging a round hole with a square peg

"Pull requests" are part of git though since it was originally a DCVS it meant you would pull from an individuals git repo ... services like github etc centralized the concept

What does it take to characterize legit users also as bots

They probably surveyed their own Agents

Mega-streisand effect ... they stacked together so many of em

Nah, IBM watson jeopardy version was a one-off. It was an app specifically tuned for that usecase. IBM Watson is not a single product or app. It is more of a marketing term

Exactly ... Used to play buggy games and used to absolutely love them, nowadays it seems like everything has to be beyond perfect.

Management would get us all dogs and they would get cats for themselves ... like blofeld from James bond ...
