Way better than the random India dev output. I seriously don't know what everyone around here is doing. All I see are complaints while I produce the output of ten devs. Clean code, solid design.

Spend a few hours writing context files. Spend the rest of the week sipping bourbon.

Holding it wrong.

I have enterprise plans for all AI services except Google. GitHub Copilot in VS Code is the best I have used so far. I hear a lot of complaints from people who are holding it wrong. In a single day I can have a beautiful greenfield app deployed. One dev. One day. Something that would have taken weeks with two teams bumping into each other. It's fully documented. Beautiful code. I read the reasoning prompts as it flows by to get an idea of what is going on. I work in phases and review the code and working product quickly after that. Minimal issues.

I'm an executive, the devs complaining are getting retrained or put on the chopping block.

My rockstars are now random contractor devs from Vietnam. The aloof FTE grey beards saying "I don't know, it doesn't work very good on X." Are getting a talking to or being sidelined/canned. So far most of my grey beards are adapting pretty well.

I'm not waiting on people to write code any more. No way in hell.

I haven't run a Google search in two years. Your comment just made me realize that. Doing a Google search is like trying to watch cable after being on YouTube for years.

I'm starting to transition how we build software at our company due to the power of AI. No more: five code monkey contractors under a lead. Two top-notch devs are all that is needed now, unrestrained by sprints and mindless ceremonies. There is going to be a giant sucking sound in India.

I can't continue the current model. The dev that gets AI is done in five hours, the ones that don't are thrashing for the next two weeks. I have to unleash the good AI dev. I have the Product team handing us markdown files now with an overview of the project and all the details and stories built into them. I'm literally transforming how a billion dollar company works right now because of this. I have Codex, Claude and GitHub Copilot enterprise accounts on top of Office 365. Everyone is being trained right now as most devs are behind, even.

Same here in Cincinnati. Lowe's is far better than Home Depot. Everyone at HD clearly hates their job. Probably not their fault.

Exactly, their site and apps are trash.

Yep, my father, with no business training or college was funded by my grandfather and was in business for years, decades. He ultimately failed without any savings and died in poverty. Being a small business owner was the only job he ever had.

Don't forget about the poor local businesses. Someone needs to pay to keep the executives' lunch spots open.

Really? Logic wouldn't dictate that if I'm up 300% or more over two years and everyone is starting to get jittery about an AI bubble that perhaps I should pull out now and await the pullback? If it happens in a year, and I can buy back in at a 15-20% discount, that is also a return!! Do you hold for possibly another 5%? That doesn't make any sense. Your cash gets 4% a year just waiting--paid monthly.

Most investors can time this aspect of the market accurately enough. It's tough for these people to stand by and watch profit being left on the table for a year or two, though. So they get back in, seeing how long they can leave their hand on the got plate.

Myself, I made the decision to go to cash a while ago, right before the recent AI pullback. Things were going great for a week until I started seeing all that money go unclaimed. I get back in, and the pullback I predicted happens. It was my own conscious decision to look past the gorilla in the room to get more free treats. I'll be fine but this is a good anecdote for how these things unfold.

Right now an elderly person is jamming cash into a Bitcoin ATM for a scammer. Fact.

This is the default. I have a few teams like this under my charge, currently.

I ask them to protect themselves by logging what data they will need to troubleshoot a new feature.

Next release comes around and there is an issue and guess what...devs asking for access to prod to troubleshoot because they don't have logs.

It is really difficult to contain oneself when getting on a call to quiet three endless chat threads because someone failed to log basic shit.

Days long anxiety-filled shit storms for absolutely no reason.

I have had other teams that would do this and they had to have the fear of God put into them to wake up and start logging. We have real problems to solve without confounding ourselves...

I only use it when I want to be tracked.

Hmmm...YouTube has been getting confused about the language and displaying random languages for the closed captions on videos. This was happening to me across smart TVs but I access YouTube randomly from various devices and browsers...but mostly Chrome when using a browser.

Yes, the polygraph has one purpose, instill fear. It's an over the top interrogation. Level 1 torture.

No, because I would never talk to them.

This.

Well said

They are only selling puts...that's a half-hearted short. They have the resources to borrow shares and bag the whole amount without a time constraint...why not do that?

They can shop anywhere they like.

Yep, soft drink companies and processed food merchants laugh all the way to the bank.

It was done in bad faith. The Trump administration is well known for this hateful, spiteful behavior. They just have to control everything. No exceptions.

This whole thing with SNAP is an experiment by them. They are trying to introduce "temporary" measures and situations to condition people. The Nixon zombies running the Republican party have dreamt of this opportunity for decades.

In Ohio we call that "driving to Kentucky."

In essence, this is what the investments are meant to accomplish ...alignment of interests.

Yeah, total looney. I had a collection of questions and retorts until I got bored with it.

The codes are data. The restrictions are empty threats.

Yes, people used to see fairies a lot.

Sounds good, but then you have the lights over Arizona in 1995 and other incidents that are on video.

Are Aliens here goofing off? Probably not but humans are either conjuring these manifestations of mass hallucinations or they are actually happening. I guess the first case is a really a version of the second case.

We used to have issues with fairies, now it's humanoids visiting in crafts.

Microsoft already has a new business out of the deal. OpenAI can now be extinguished at the earliest convenience.
