Quite the opposite: you’re going to be in even higher demand and will make more money.

Yes, it will be possible for one person to do the work of many, but that just means each person becomes more valuable.

It’s also a law in economics that supply often drives demand, and that’s definitely the case in your field. Companies and individuals will want even more of what you want. It’s not like laundry detergent (one can only consume so much of that). There’s almost no limit to how much of what you supply that people could consume.

The way I see it, your output could multiply 100 fold. You could build out large, complex projects that used to take massive teams all by yourself, and in a fraction of the time. Companies can than monetize that for consumers.

AI is just a tool. Software engineers got rich when their tools got better. More engineers entered the field, and they just kept getting richer. That’s because the value of each engineer increased as they became more productive, and that value helped drive demand.

A bit confused by this. Will Elixir potentially embed types in BEAM files like Erlang increasingly does to inform the JIT, or not?
That depends on how the native app is packaged, as it is possible to bundle the Visual C++ runtime. It's not recommended for obvious security reasons, but licensing allows it.

Yep. Permanent remote work is not good for me. I miss going to lunch with coworkers, finding a new restaurant, going out to coffee in the afternoons, etc. This just isn't possible with "fully remote" and people are a half hour (minimum) to 8+ hours away.

I'd recommend trying SQLite for logging. We've been doing this for a half decade and it's fantastic.

There's an index on our trace/correlation column, so we can instantly pull all log entries for a specific user interaction with a query like:

SELECT *
FROM LogEntries
WHERE TraceId = @TraceId

We also use a single connection and WAL, so we can write many thousands of entries per second if necessary.

Not OP but planting a man-made forest is bound to require a lot of carbon up front; you’d need to transport people, plants, etc, to the forest-site, and would possibly need prepare the land for planting using machines (which again need to be transported, need logistics to transport fuel, etc)

Byte Order Marks have stolen hours and days of my life. Anyone suffering the pain of developing on a windows box can relate. Windows puts BOMs by default in the front of every file. Thus windows programs silently ignore it, but then linux machines run the program and choke on the BOM. You have to specifically ask the editor if the BOM is even there, it doesn't show up in the editor by default. I have specific lines in my .vimrc[1] that prevent BOMs from ruining my day/week, but they still pop up often. I often joke there will be a byte order mark on my tombstone, along with avahi daemon.

Anyone that works full-time has a high probability of owning a home, just not necessarily in their current city.

Not saying that's a good thing, but supply constraints and build costs are here to stay for the major metros. Interest rates and remote work being indefinite should help with prices and create buying opportunities for some in larger cities.

But it's better to play the real estate game by being pragmatic about what you can afford where (buy elsewhere and move, invest elsewhere before buying a primary, etc) and how to get to the next level instead of feeling entitled.

I accepted the reality years ago and did 2 investment properties in other cities before buying my primary in the city I wanted to live in.

It sucks to have to do that and take so long to buy a primary, but the game is about capital. And real estate is one of the few beautiful assets in a sea of bullshit you either 1) don't need or 2) doesn't provide any joy.

I know a lot of people on here have contempt for real estate investing but if you aren't in it, IMO, you are depriving yourself and your family of the absolute easiest way to make money and build wealth. And there are plenty of places where you don't need a ton of cash to get started.
In fact as an introvert remote work affects me more negatively because I’m less likely than other people to get social interaction outside of work.
Logs are for humans, metrics are for machines.

Metrics tell you there's a problem. They're an application's way of reporting metadata or state. They are designed to be small and frequent and machine readable/writeable, with small bits of useful information that are of themselves quite useless, but are very useful in aggregate.

Logs describe the problem in detail to a human. They're a developer's way of diagnosing problems in an application. They can have machine-readable components to them, but being machine-readable is not the point. The point is for a human to quickly diagnose and fix an arbitrary problem, however you decide to do that. It's extremely annoying if you can't read a log because it was machine-formatted.

From the article:

Invest time in designing your log structure

Don't. Eventually you will have to deal with logs with a random structure. Invest in telemetry management and distributed tracing.

Log as much as possible.

Don't. It's about quality, not quantity. Too many logs with too little information leaves you buried and unable to diagnose quickly. And too much information is bad for security; always mask sensitive information. I can't tell you how many giant companies have been hacked because of this. And cost is a factor: I have seen people stop logging because it was costing them too much money, when they should have been logging smarter (fewer messages with more useful info) and utilizing metrics.

Keeping consistency is everone’s priority

It is guaranteed that you will have to deal with some metrics and logs in arbitrary formats. Do not worry about making them perfect. Invest in telemetry management and distributed tracing.

It's not like Apple can compel anyone to work for them - they must offer competitive pay to attract workers. By definition, the people in India taking jobs at Apple are doing so because it's the best option available to them. The reality is that foreign industry factory jobs are generally considered quite desirable and high-paying in these countries. This "slave labor" is, in fact, one of the primary mechanisms by which living standards in developing countries are elevated over time.

You may (understandably) feel bad about enjoying a product made by someone getting nominally paid orders of magnitude less than you. But naively arguing that Apple should be mandated to pay more (or even be forced to produce in the US) does the opposite of help the people you claim to be worried about.

The point is that if you have the copyright to a project and you release it as AGPL, it has absolutely no affect on what you can do with it. You can also relicense it to others and tell them they don't have to follow AGPL either.

So if Chromium were AGPL, Google could do anything they felt like doing with it, just like now. Google just wouldn't be able to keep anybody else from doing stuff with it for versions that they released under AGPL, as long as those people didn't violate it.
Could the problems with these GPUs when playing older games with older DirectX versions be solved by using DXVK as a shim around Direct to try and make use of the better performance in Vulkan?

But as Steven P. Jobs of Apple spoke, President Obama interrupted with an inquiry of his own: what would it take to make iPhones in the United States?

Not long ago, Apple boasted that its products were made in America. Today, few are. Almost all of the 70 million iPhones, 30 million iPads and 59 million other products Apple sold last year were manufactured overseas.

Why can’t that work come home? Mr. Obama asked.

Mr. Jobs’s reply was unambiguous. “Those jobs aren’t coming back,” he said, according to another dinner guest.

The worst are the modern async UIs that become responsive early and then reset their state when they fully load - so if you e.g. already typed part of your search string, you can actually briefly see it in the textbox, and then it gets cleared away. Very common on websites, somewhat common on the desktop, in my experience.

Ironically, the old apps that just "hang" for a while during initialization handle this better, because they don't process input at all, so it all just gets queued.
I heard it more often circa 2010 when I was active in my local python user group. Usage has definitely waned along with some more of the cute aspects of pythonic culture, like referring to pypi as the cheese shop. I think it's because more and more companies started hiring specifically for python, and it became something developers were forced to use, as opposed to something that people chose to use because they loved it.
There are millions of people working unstimulating jobs they're not passionate about. Why is the OP special?
For any large company (with a brand team) these tools will only ever be a starting point to get a general direction. It might remove some initial back and forth working through some basic things that a junior might do. The output might then be used as a prompt for the creative agencies they work with. The brand is the sacred and I doubt anyone would take the risk with anything that isn't 100% controlled (photoshoot, CGI etc)

For the smaller companies, the mom and pop ones mentioned elsewhere in the thread, this will probably kill any creative work from them.

Also, consider going in-house into a large corporate. They usually have marketing and comms teams, if not external facing then internal. Then when these tools mature you could leverage them to knock out internal work at tighter deadlines.

From my understanding, this logic is incorrect.

Debt is not serviced from GDP. Debt is serviced by printing free cash (which raises inflation rates). And debt buyers buy it exactly because of inflation, with the majority of the debt actually being held by US funds (pension, endowments, etc) as a way to escape inflation with very little risk.

So this is a sort of perpetual self-balancing feedback loop. Even if the economy will go down, all of this capital still needs to be stored in some non-depreciating form. And government can always just increase inflation by simply printing more cash to service debt.

In a way, funds are also very much dependent on the government and are happy to give money in exchange for escaping inflation. And it’s government that controls the model properties.

I guess that is until there’s another super-stable government and holders can start buying their debt instead (not sure if this is regulated or not).

And I guess this is a major reason for the US to have a global monopoly on stability and try to actively destabilize emerging global powers once in a while to worsen their debt risk profiles.

I’m not an expert, so please correct me if there’s a flaw in this logic.
It's possible for both things to be true. Perhaps for a rare few a more elaborate system is required, but for most it is a hindrance. A piece of advice doesn't need to be totally universal to be useful.
