Surely there is a ycombinator startup around the corner that will fix this problem.

There is something to be said about being surrounded by people also devoting their full energy to learning something.
It’s more inspiring and fulfilling than being alone with a YouTube video. Also you might make life long friends or meet the love of your life.

The forklift should just be paid for by the employee. After all they should be strong enough to do work without one.

Can’t they just get away with this by claiming they were doing AI research and their agent broke out of their sandbox?

I find remote work makes it harder to draw boundaries. I don’t really have work hours anymore. Co workers are all over the world. Sub 7am meetings. Post 6pm meetings. I wonder if in the old days pre remote if you could just close that laptop and go home?

I just use garmin watches to track health stuff. I would literally jump for joy if there were a free alternative software and hardware stack to replace this watch or at the very least a cycling computer.

I’d do whatever is not working at Amazon. At Cambridge you will build yourself as a person and probably make life long friends. By the time you’re done the industry may well be over the AI hype and the job market might make more sense.
In this case you will be well reared to take advantage of it.

The shareholders must be furious about this. Why not lay off 30% of the team and outsource game development and use ai for the art? That seems smarter.

Doesn’t ycombinator and hacker news have links with this company? Makes it hard to maintain the hacker ethos when this entire site seems so closely linked with such forces.

Porting a giant monolithic JSF app from JSF/Wildfly to two separate apps, a react frontend and a REST Quarkus backend.
First time doing this sort of thing with agents. So far it seems ok?
If it works out it will really help us scale and improve a legacy application that so many depend on at the moment. Wish me luck!

I thought so too about the steam frame. Then I saw the pass through was not good. Pass through for me has made these products so more livable. It was downright shocking how much less isolating it felt to have full color pass through.

Most times your land lord won't let you make anything nicer. They basically want the place to degrade around you so that they can low key force you to leave causing you to abandon your rent control.
I think it’s cultural to do this or something.
