Well (human) written article, and I do sense all of this around me. Rather than go into denial, I think it would help everyone to discuss the core points: SWE is no longer a differentiated role that could gatekeep the way it did.

This means the newer SWEs have to now get some real-world connection / get their hands literally dirty to be valuable.

I think the shape of clouds and services is going to change given current clouds are uxed for humans. Cloudflare is making the right bet. Specially the free agent report account. That's like a wonderful idea for building agent share.

"idea" is dystopian. Look at the world around you. Like the OP news article.

I'm just telling you how the world behaves like.

Everyone's not walking around worrying about the gig-worker or the driver or the janitor, beyond the fact that that they get food on time, reach where they want to be, and walk on clean ground.

I even presented the solutions to these. Don't fake pity me - that's easy internet keyboard warrior thing. Do the work of changing the system you're part of.

Yeah, hard to compete with 20 dollars a month, was my point.

> value to society is definitely not measured in what stockholder value you can produce

This is exactly the value of a person in all capitalistic systems. If we want to change this we need widespread socialism / UBI. Maybe Georgism.

The fact that you're a good friend or partner to someone definitely has value, but not something anyone cares about.

Hi Thomas, I think you're being too defensive. It's ok, I look forward to your technical posts, on what you imaging this OS powered by AI to be. Will be a fun ride.

If you're looking for a UX idea, when the phone boots, it asks "What are the top 5 things you do?". And that's how the phone experience starts.

All the best. (Ignore the silly haters, they're lost in their AI pessimism to just look forward to a new intersting thing).

It's in the article - looks like they ran it on a book.

I agree.

I don't like the unnecessary defensiveness by the author to pangram proof.

Pangram 100% is notoriously difficult for humans to do, even with intent.

The lands and seas have been around before us, and will continue to flourish after us and everything we hold dear, like God.

There's no alignment except the arrow of entropy.

If you were unemployeed, what's the minimum rate per day that you'd be willing to work for?

For how much money? Subscribing people is 200 dollars a day. Codexr is 20 dollars a month

This isn't precedent setting.. it's a pure specific usecase that was blocked. Overall scraping is still legal and fine, per the earlier judgement.

It isn't.

I rcently joined a hiring process for a role. I think a majority of the jobs will NOT be filled in 30 days, given how the process and coordination works.

I'm curious - Do you have a reaction to the specfic point of suggestions that were brought to you, per the article? Do you recall specific ones, and if they were considered/deliberated?

I'm afraid this is "cope".

There's hardly any work you can think of which can't be done faster / beter with ai assistance, when your role is of reviewing and directing. If you have an anti-example, would like to hear.

Imo we should speedrun to how we can use ai to write well. We'll get past this weird opus5 talk phase.

Its written like it's making a praiseworthy point, but mostly comes across as luddites.

My follow up would be - how many are unemployed vs employed. From what I do know, most linux devs also work someplace, so either directly or indirectly have the means for a 20-100 dollar subscription a month.

More than that, I've not seen people do agentic coding in one part of their work, and manual coding in another. Is there any first hand account of someone doing this? It kind of rewires your brain, and makes it hard to do both at the same time.

Seems low. 80% people are manually typing in things? In my circle it's close to 0% code written manually.

Do linux devs live in a completely different microcosm?

News piece with unnecessary annoying editorializing.

I think the idea of plasma widgets and rails fully being customized per user giving them material control on ones desktop is a good idea.

We need good ideas to counter and take on the omarchy nonsense.

I apologize to GPerson for needlessly trying to convince him to my point of view. He seems to be an smart person deeply affected by how LLM are affecting his vocation and work. It was wrong of me to do this and I will take a break from this website for one week.

It will. you lack imagination, and have a unnecessary high opinion of yourself.

I cheer for a path that opens up the future wider for knowledge.

This job based pursuite of knowledge is impure. Drop it.

It will. you just lack imagination.

The direction of continue shotting will develop a new culture that lead to a much more wider understanding for humans in the field of math. Find a way to accept this new culture and you'll thrive.

Jobs will come and go. I'ts their nature. What makes you treat job over pursuit of knowledge. It is lowly and unbecoming.
