Our team is assessing some new tools and one of our VPs produced a document just like this and none of us read it because it was obvious that it was generated slop and way too long. I don't get what value such tomes are actually providing when you're comparing three SaaS tools against each other.

I'm wondering what this could mean to the future of software work and AI use, care to weight in? I don't have a good mental model for this period of time (I do agree with your sense of things).

This is the exact phrasing I was just searching for, and I fear the same thing that this pop stoicism revival is trying to formalize some really asocial behaviors.

Definitely want to talk about this too. I've been thinking of my own daily learning through tools like Anki and trying to devise a sort of "life stack" where I'm adding stuff and refreshing myself on it and this top comment from OP just sort of crystalizes that.

I tried to teach a group of HS students about orbital mechanics as a high school physics teacher using KSP. It was... difficult. Not impossible. But I agree it's an excellent learning tool.

This so much this. We don’t even have a good model for how invertebrate minds work or a good theory of mind. We can keep imitating understanding but it’s far from any actual intelligence.

My personal version of this was realizing that the bar for being a functional, relatively successful adult is FAR lower than I realized as a kid. Many adults can't get things which I find fairly rudimentary right and it explains a lot.

Personally this is what I’m hoping for. Stories I read about services sold as AI turning out to be minimum wage workers tells me that as much as everyone thinks this is the dawn of a new age of hyperintelligent machines we haven’t gotten as far as we wanted to as fast as we wanted, or hoped.

You've sent me down a really interesting rabbit hole as someone who is trying to move away from just writing and understanding how React works. Can you explain a little more why this felt worth pursuing? I'm interested in what sorts of advantages this could have.

If I had my druthers on specific industries to focus on it would likely be in either finance or some sort of logistics field. My last role was an education CMS product and while that was fine it never felt like things would go anywhere I wanted to go. But, with the aforementioned "deadness" of things, I'm willing to take a role almost anywhere at any level just to stay writing software.

US East Coast === Also Dead. edit: I'm a frontend focused JS/TS dev with 5 years experience and I was laid off at the end of May and never before has my anxiety been this high about landing another SWE role. At this point I've been heavily considering some sort of "hold over job" just to keep the lights on and keep me from going crazy, but I'm hoping I don't have to go down that route.

I've been doing the same, my next car and hopefully my last will be an old Grand Marquis. I can fix it myself, no tracking, and just goes forever.

It does at the end of the article: "The procedure was performed under a Food and Drug Administration protocol known as a compassionate use provision, which is granted to patients with life-threatening illness who might benefit from an unapproved treatment. New drugs to suppress the immune system and prevent rejection of the organ were also used under the protocol."

Glad to see that the Silverball Museum in Asbury Park, NJ has more machines than anywhere else to the state. Love that place.

NB/EB resident, has construction ever stopped in this area since 2000? I'm glad that 18 is finally (mostly) done as you say

Your 3rd bullet really hits hard, I had many colleagues at an old job who would do insane things for our company because they were on a visa and had purchased a home and they explained to me that they can't afford to not do every single thing asked. It was so heartbreaking.

I'm so jealous of this. I live in a major metro area of NYC and there's still no fiber out to my town. This is so cool.
