I'm curious how many ICs are truly excited about these advancements in coding agents. It seems to me the general trend is we become more like PMs managing agents and reviewing PRs, all for the sake of productivity gains.
I imagine many engineers are like myself in that they got into programming because they liked tinkering and hacking and implementation details, all of which are likely to be abstracted over in this new era of prompting.

Congress hasn't actually agreed on a FY2025 budget though right? We're just running on Continuing Resolutions currently. So the budget is actually subject to change when this CR runs out March 14th.

If you haven't already, look into the avionics and flight software of the Ingenuity helicopter. First time Linux ran on Mars!

Interesting note about this: the speed of sound on Mars is only ~70% of that on Earth, due to less atmospheric density. Might change your Mach numbers!

FWIW, Java does have the "final" keyword.

My philosophy has been to let the distro package manager handle system packages (kernel, OpenSSL, etc) but then use flatpak [1] to install user progs like Chromium and VSCode so I get bleeding edge releases and sandboxing.

FWIW, musl has implemented DNS-over-TCP recently [1], so future Alpine releases shouldn't have DNS issues in k8s anymore.

Essentially, energy is carried throughout a circuit by the electric field created by a voltage differential, not by electrons pushing other electrons like how sound is transmitted through a medium. So signals propagate on the same order of magnitude as the speed of light. I think this is a relatively intuitive explanation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C7tQJ42nGno
