So, we all have to just skip for a while ?

There's a Sci-Fi Plot in there somewhere:

A hero tries to and succeeds in persuading govts to organize a planet scale skipping effort to get earth closer to a passing by rock and escape an impending disaster on earth.

I think there's a Firefox extension for this usecase.

Combining that with Multi-account container should make it easier to manage ?

> then you open LinkedIn years later and turns out somehow they've failed up to manager, architect or executive while you're still struggling along as a code peasant

That's because they come across as result oriented, go getter kind of persons while the others will be seen as uptight individuals. Unfortunately, management for better or worse self selects the first kind.

LLMs are only going to make it worse. If you can write clean code in half a day and an LLM can generate a "working" sphagetti mess in few mins, management will prefer the mess. This will be the case for many organizations where software is just an additional supporting expense and not critical part of the main business.

The main problem is not the source of solution but not making an effort to understand the code they have put in.

The "I don't know" might as well be "I don't care".

That's where you'd like your solution engine to be able to tell you how to get the solution it is giving you. Something good answers on Stack Overflow will do: links to the relevant documentation, steps you can go through to get a better diagnostic of your problem etc.

Get the fire lit with the explanation of where to get wood and how to light it in your condition so next time you don't need to consult you solution engine.

I guess the future is

1. Friend sends an apology email drafted by LLM.

2. Email gets summarized at the receiver end in the daily AI email "summary" which might be something like

You have a scheduled cake tasting this weekend. Did you know there's a bakery near your office that makes wedding cakes too. By the way your friend Joe can't make it to the wedding, do you want me to send a reply?

3. Reply email gets summarized by AI.

"Your friend acknowledges that you cannot rsvp. Do you want to schedule a wedding gift delivery on their wedding day ? XYZ neighborhood/online store has a sale next week".

4. Awkward situation ensues when you both meet at a location AI recommended to you both just after telling it to lie about your schedule.

You can skip the piles and piles of linguistic bullshit and wasted energy with a json API.

I.e. another scenario that could (and should?) be handled entirely through a calendar app?

why would anyone email, you can just send a letter in the mail?

The problem with posting to YT is kids might seek validation of their content from peers or strangers and that always comes with risks.

I seriously disagree that that is likely, and I think as a parent you could monitor the channel to make sure there’s no signs of that.

> NPT violations (same with India)

Just a small correction.

India is not a signatory to NPT. There's no violation.

That's the violation. Same reason Israel isn't included despite being a major NATO+ member.

Just because you aren't a party to an agreement doesn't mean you aren't in violation of it.

They are not in compliance with the provisions. They aren't violating anything. They can't violate a promise they haven't made.

While you are technically correct, they still are getting denied because they wouldn't make the promise. So the outcome is the same.

If your search engine doesn't have ads that only means the adblocker has nothing to do except use some cpu cycles.

Those cycles are mostly earned back when you visit a link with ads (unless the search results are limited to ad free sites). So, it's still a net positive to have an ad-blocker.

> fix it themselves without anyone asking - bring it up to higher management

No matter what your intentions are, doing this frequent enough will give you reputation of being a lonely wolf and trouble maker.

I’m sorry that’s your experience.

But it can’t function any other way. You are a filter of small problems for everyone in the org higher than you. If you bring up everything up the chain your level may as well not exist.

There are many places out there where individual contributors are agency-less executors.

I don't think it ever worked. (Remember when Japan destroyed the world's car industry just by changing that single thing? And that's industry work, highly repetitive and formalized.) But that never stopped managers from doing something.

My spacebar(s) are very smooth and shiny on the right compared to left.

By the same measure, looks like I use my left thumb by far the most. I'm left-handed.
