Economic problems are real and worth addressing and I hope we can find ways other than “we need more babies”.

> Pixian.AI had 241 images that were rated good, or not rated and identical. That's 87.0% of your 277 images.
> The competitor had 201 images that were rated good, or not rated and identical. That's 72.6% of your 277 images.
> Pixian.AI achieved 241 / 201 = 119.9% of the competitor's performance
> The report is based on a set of user-provided images. We then reviewed the services' respective results separately and rated them as either good or bad. The comparison was done in a blind manner, without labels indicating which result was Pixian.AI's and which was the competitor's. We then tallied up the results and produced this report.

4 to 3 is a 25% cut and a 33% increase in weekends (3 to 4).
3 to 2 is a 33% cut and a 25% increase in weekends (4 to 5).
Thus we see, 3 work days a week is mathematically optimal.

I haven’t fully wrapped my head around this. It’s a moldable editor where different types of data can each have their own view.
It's not that learning is an unattractive aspect (I agree, it's a great feature!). Instead it's that it levels the playing field between those entering the profession and those that have been in it for many years. Yes, you still have "experience" as an advantage, but you can't say you've worked with LATEST_TECH for many more years than someone coming out of college.
Contrast that with other professions, like law, or medicine. Where it's not just "experience" working in your favor. But actual knowledge of the existing laws and medical practices.
I've tried to stress to managers in the past that developers feel the pain of code debt. It makes us slower! Enable us to spend time sharpening our tools and managing our codebase.
One problem of course is, not all SWE can do this well. I wouldn't necessarily trust a junior hire to recognize and execute a proper refactor.
Should be good for bespoke data visualizations and interactive simulations.
