Re:AI promised less work. I've never worked more on Tuesday October 27, 2026 @11:36AM (#50260917)
Tech never begets less work. Tech only generates more work because the mindset is always to optimize and maximize. Now that something can work 24/7, you must be available 24/7 to keep it working.

Ask HN: What has been the fate of code review?

Given the increased use of AI, my experience is that teammates are moving so fast churning out so many changes that it is nigh impossible to review it all. I can't even keep up with the code being generated by my own use of LLMs at times. Granted, I can slow it all down. And I do at times when one of the following is true: 1. It is a new space I want to understand 2. I don't trust the agent for...

the observation goes beyond garbage in garbage out. Mainly that we're always operating from some prior and limited understanding. That what may look like a hallucination could be closer to the truth than our current frameworks of understanding allow us to admit. The hermeneutic circle.

Increased taxation would be defensible if it was paired with spending reform. Increasing the tax to just inflate a bureaucracy helps nobody. Increasing the tax and then directly paying people, with no PMC in the middle, seems win-win-win.

How are people handling this... mentally? and preparedness wise? I can't imagine what the next generation may have to live through.
This has been proven out again and again in my experience. Going as far back as being a student advisor in college. Any time I would run into someone using these words (in advising sessions, interviews, casual conversation), the speaker had no further depth when pressed on the topic they were trying to wave at.

There's a time and a place for all of these things. Like everything in life, many people pick the wrong time and wrong place.

Attention to every detail, even the awkward nerd high-five.

It's been around 2000 years with many divisions and sects so I don't think you can give a single definition. Early Christians didn't agree on the divinity of Jesus. Hell wasn't christian doctrine until 400CE. Some Christians believe heaven is on earth itself and you'll be resurrected on earth, in your original body, when that times comes.
The person that thinks they're above propaganda is the one most swayed by it.
Queries span frontend and backend. If a query cannot be resolved entirely on the frontend (due to missing data) it falls back to the backend to get the rest of the results.

The DB is smart enough to understand if a query can be fully or partially resolved client side based on what other queries have already been synced.

Meta compensates 10x types very well. 3x bonus multipliers, additional equity that can range from 100k-1m+, and level increases are a huge bump to comp (https://www.levels.fyi/)

SQLite had 2 bugs[1] where batch atomic writes would corrupt your DB if you used IndexedDB to back your VFS. It has been patched in SQLite so rolling a new electric release that pulls in the latest SQLite build should fix that.
