This is outright false. I have used ChatGPT many times over the last couple months and I have caught it give me un-working code, unfinished code, and terribly buggy code. When you point this out it will say Oh sorry about that here is an updated version, and I've caught it give another bug, and another after that. If you are telling me the quality of code that ChatGPT gives you is high then it pains me to say but you must not provide high quality code yourself.

Simply because you don't have an answer doesn't mean you can't point out that something is wrong.

Not necessarily, it just means the right way should be made easier.

If you take the stance that in-person work is more effective (an "uncomfortable truth" as you call it), then it would seem to reason that engineers who transferred to remote work would see a decrease in performance, but that is not the case as you also mention.

It seems like the real issue may be the hiring process between remote and in-person engineers, or biases in evaluating in-person vs. remote engineers.

I don't think you are in touch with the reality of the housing market right now. That "posh" neighbourhood that you're referring to is most likely where people were born and raised and the first place you want to buy a home. I live in Etobicoke, Canada. My neighbour across the street growing up recalled a time they built the houses in the neighbourhood and it was previously farm fields. My parents bought their house, a cottage, and paid both off quickly. Property is now selling for almost $2 million. In 2 generations it went from field to affordable to completely unaffordable, and Etobicoke is far from any kind of "rich people lifestyle".

The people that currently live there are not being ousted by outsiders imposing laws on them so they can no longer afford to live there. That is false. The people that currently live there are making laws so that no one else can move into the neighbourhood.

It's not "their" city/neighbourhood. It existed before them and it will exist after. What gives someone a right to move in and create laws to make it harder for other people to do the same thing they did? I understand they actually have that right, it's just shitty to have that kind of mindset.

Indeed I felt that way too when reading passages such as:

"As I was looking around, I was struck for an instant by the eeriness of the scene: here I was, attached, like an unwanted child, by an umbilicus to a gargantuan mother who was fleeing across the sky at 200 knots as though from some unnamed danger. Far below us was a broken layer of clouds that filtered the sun glare over the Pacific."

Wonderfully poetic and I enjoyed it, but yes, wordy.

I look at it like this. When I signed up for the job you promised me this thing, we're in a bit of a downturn, am I still able to get that thing you promised me?

I'm interested to know why you feel the question is insensitive. One of the biggest perks I look for in any position is the time off and how it's handled. If a company wants me working hard and giving them my best I want my time off to reflect that.

They are most likely going to clamp down on vacation time or deny it altogether when the times comes so I see the question as completely fair.

PayPal is garbage. Every interaction I have had with them has been miserable. At a previous ecommerce company we basically had to accept that 95% of our fraud claims would be denied without reason, just denied and closed and money lost, disregarding our proof.

I see a lot of your replies are to basically leave the country. Got a chip on your shoulder bud?

> The major sense I get from Canadians whenever I arrive back is an enormous sense of financial illiteracy.

Completely false. Ask any Canadian how they feel about their internet or mobile phone bill and they will tell you they're being ripped off. We have been battling Rogers and Bell for decades, they have too much money and influence at this point.

So I can't have bees for me? Why do you decide what brings me joy?

If you construct a chicken coop would you keep it open to predation?

A friendly reminder that these insect hotels need annual maintenance, or else you will eventually have a parasite haven.

"Gender" is just a word. Words have meanings, and meanings can change over time. As with gender and sex, you seem to be confusing your stubbornness with common sense.

I suggest you re-read the list of definitions at the link you posted. You might learn something invaluable.

You seem to be confusing sex and gender. There's a difference. https://cihr-irsc.gc.ca/e/48642.html
