Robots / physical AI displacing workforce

Are you sure is not just your bubble ? That's not all the impression that I get

Sure ! I have been doing this for 2 decades now and started my career in VHDL / Hardware before going to embedded systems and then cloud. I am pretty sure I can understand hand code pretty well. I just don't need to write it. Why would it.

Why is your identity tied to writing code ? That reads a bit weird to me at least.

You're being paid to solve business problems, not to write code. Now you can do it without writing code.

Maybe try to form a different identity ? I wouldn't ever define my identity (not before AI) as someone who writes code.

Configuring postgres to automatically failover instead of doing it manually. The automated system caused more downtime in a few months than manually doing it did for years before. All in the name of more automations and less downtime

Why not ? Can google be trusted ? Or facebook ? How do people have been accessing the internet for the last decade you reckon and how's this any different ?

Why do you feel that ?

How would you count them or even know if they were made with AI or not ? Such nonsense

Of course yes, and it's even easier in some cases. Since there's a language that defines the functionality (e.g: formal methods) that the agent can use/veriy against

You can have another agent write the tests and verify the former agent ? This is pretty basic stuff. Makes me question if people are actually trying to use AI

Lol. That's not true at all. And not how projects are done on startups or big companies.

Execute fast or get nowhere, a series of small wins get you to live long term.

If you're using Windows you're likely not the audience. Which is fine.

Staples. I have a broken Canon now and before had a broken HP. Both were dirty cheap. I imagine how much the environment suffers from broken printers alone.

I am not buying a new one. Only going to stores to print.

lol I know, I applied for them around 4-5 years ago and thought it was a joke... I did the first part which was some gimmic IQ tests and then I had to write an essay (which I didn't) !

You basically described Canonical's hiring process !

question bank ?! lol, no wonder people complain about being performative.

If you have nothing to talk about, cancel it

Really depends on the team etc. I don't think every team needs to have 1-1, certainly not weekly as a mandate.

The best cultures I worked at didn't have 1-1 series by default

No. Because the investment to get into the game is too big and takes too long. The ones who can create the silicon are already oversubscribed.

great question, probably around 1998 ! How is it relevant to 2026 ?

Right, so I have to do manual work going over 10000000 of results ? Or trusting SEO / google algorthm instead ?

That hasn't been my experience. It has been working really well for what I need.

SEO optimization totally ruined google search for me for the past few years

How do you make it without AI ? Are you parsing through millions of pages yourself ?

I don't disagree with you, but google search has gone so downhill that I had stopped using it before they moved to the AI approach, which is actually pretty decent.

"Next 5y" doesn't apply to AI factories

They are until they aren't. My grandmother had a puncture and almost died

lol. AI just started in the kind of usage being discussed in this thread, how would it make any difference on something that is quarterly reviewed

That seems like a you problem

No one cares about this kind of stuff. 99% of the devs are not English native speakers, what do you expect ? It works and we all can understand it

Python existed for years before uv with a huge ecosystem, and will continue to do so after/if it dies

Do you feel sad for people who use a computer or a cellphone or file taxes online instead of paper ? How is this any different ?

I use those tools to make my life easier/faster
