lift and shift into the cloud used to be the path of last resistance on Azure.

Kind of crazy considering how while teams (even dev) were forced into using it be the designers.

I haven’t even seen it mentioned at work recently.

The manager class sees worker units as fungible.

Should Legal exist?

Should Facilities exist?

Surely your average employee could own each of these functions.

I don’t think that supports your argument.

What is probably happening is the job crisis for young people.

The army is once again an attractive job.

Seems so. All the breaks from the first system in the name of “we’re doing it right this time” probably killed the momentum.

Even the best and brightest of us are still human.

Most engineers have to take at least one programming class in college.

Be happy to find out I’m wrong.

So that govt money went to the wealthy to buy up houses (Californians bought real estate in the Midwest as investments and it drove up housing prices along with small immigration to these states)

Farmers etc benefited from bailouts when they were doing very well. It was a large blunder.

I can’t stand it and every update makes it worse.

Been running popos abs everything I can and it’s petty nice.

Installed it on a new LG Gram and everything works including fingerprint reader. Is my favorite laptop and my old Mac sits gathering dust,

If this is the quality of product produced what’s the point?

Our Harvard/Stanford etc management seemed less capable than products of state schools. It kind of shocked me as I thought once I got into startups and scaleups with Ivy League talent I’d be way over my head. Very much a let down.

I don’t think he was particularly kind to any proselytizing religion.

Did you read the Cantos?

They are just firing up natural gas portable generators.

Wide spread internet access turned expensive toys (PCs) into useful assets.

Please use this with caution. There’s a reason client task libraries exist and you aren’t using the most expensive hardware, central point of contention for this type of thing.

Under the right conditions this could be useful/interesting buuutt this is ripe for abuse.

Big companies are handcuffed by Innovators Dilemna etc.

It was obviously DOA and waaaayyy outside G'scompetence.

They’re all 90% there.

The thing is the last 10% is 90% of the effort. The last 1% is 99% of the effort.

For those of us who can consistently finish projects the future is bright.

The sheer amount of vibe code is simply going to overwhelm us (see current state of open source)

What's your source?

PWAs in loonix are a thing not limited to malarchy.

This is the siren song of llm. "Look how much progress we made"

Effort increases as time to completion decreases. The last 10% of the project takes 90% of the effort as you try to finish up, deploy,integrate and find the gaps.

Llms are woefully incapable of that as that knowledge doesn't exist in a markdown file. It's in people's heads and you have to pry it out with a crowbar or as happens to so many projects, they get released and no one uses it.

See Google et Al. "We failed to find market fit on the 15th iteration of our chat app, we'll do better next time"

What stakeholder is prioritizing any of those things and paying for it out of their budget?

Code improvement projects are the White Whale of software engineering - obsessed over but rarely from a business point of view worth it.

Does driving a car improve your running speed?
