Typical Google product. Reminds me of a person who put a bunch of phones in a car and drove which caused Google maps to wrongly show traffic in that area. It was deliberately done though as an experiment
Programming on/for Apple has never been free. So it's not a surprise to some engineers. You're right that programming might become the way of Apple in the future. However, I think engineers should rejoice because AI is the best thing that happened to them.
I also wanted one, then Samsung released the foldable phones. The Z Flip was exactly what I wanted. Now that the Fold is so thin, I want it as a small iPad. I feel that Samsung has solved the small Android phone problem in a different way with foldables
It's a joke about the design of safety systems involving actual human lives (movies being more safe). I get an audible warning on my laptop if i hit a key for too long for God's sake. These companies are a joke.
Based on the current state of AI that's strange. They must be 100% sure that vibe coding will eventually replace engineers for them to go in that direction. Which is also strange because i don't see it still. Isn't it too early to replace engineers with vibe coders
Wow that escalated quickly. I'm just saying why would an engineer who's been rewarded a seat at a company based on his leetcode abilities think that the company cares about anything else.
I know someone who's been doing this for 10+ years. Everytime he joined a startup he thought it'd be long term, then it all ends. He told me if he knew his life would be volatile like this he would've saved his money instead of splurge it all. I hope you find a more stable remote startup job, but don't be surprised if this unpredictability continues for years. Save your money.
AI helped me find a bug that was going undetected and also helped me fix it. I was debugging a completely different bug, and decided to get a bit creative with what context i should share. AI pointed out the other bug. What I'm trying to say is people should stop talking about AI making them faster, that is not a good goal, unless your manager sucks. People should talk about concrete cases of how AI helped them instead. Another example I can give is AI helped me understand a part of a complicated protocol without reading the spec. It explained just the part I needed at the moment. AI made me dread my work less. I hope founders start getting creative with AI tools instead of copying each other.
They probably want to move users away from the iphone and onto a new platform? probably AR glasses? There is a similar (kind of) conversation on how car design got worse so people will fall less in love with their cars and switch to electric.
