Big commercial airplanes basically already fly themselves. But people feel safer with pilots on board just in case, I don’t think that’s going to change.

(10+ years of experience here) I will be starting training for commercial pilot license next year. The pay is much less than one of a software engineer but I think this job is already done for most of us, only the top 5% will survive. I don’t think I’m part of that top and don’t want to go to management or PO roles so I am done with tech

Dotnet is also very good for building web apps, it also includes static typing and a huge ecosystem.

I agree that web dev is basically a solved problem, I don’t know why stuff like next.js exists

Rider is great for front end development too!

I have used it for angular and react and have had 0 complaints, it works great and the best is that I do not need to switch IDEs anymore

I haven’t tried cursor because I don’t want to “downgrade” to VS Code anymore.

You are right, except on the part about tweaking the prompt to get your desired code styling.

The easier way to integrate into an existing code base is just to refactor the code yourself. AI gives a working version, you refactor and move on. For me this has been a huge productivity boost from writing everything from scratch

what would you say are the chances for tesla to actually deliver optimus and start a commercial humanoid robots operation in the next 5 years?

overemployment in multiple 100k-150k year full remote jobs as a sr engineer

2 is easy to do, 3 is manageable. I've heard of people doing more than 3, but most I've personally seen someone do is 3.

Does anyone know a similar article for the opposite case? Technical guy looking for a salesperson co-founder.

I think many of the points of the article still apply, especially regarding opportunity cost. A great salesman can make way, way more than a great engineer, so why would he want to join me?

And let's say I want to hire my first salesperson. How do I know who is good and who is not? For me as an engineer, everyone looks like a good salesman, because everyone is better than me (I suck at sales)

wouldn't this be the perfect use case for the hybrid watches? I am looking forward to buy a Kronaby for next year.

True. I remember I used this back in the day when I was a pro online poker player. I would like to try again in Software, maybe to kickstart an indie project ... food for thought.

How often do you use it and have you found any side effects? (or long term effects for that matter)

Is Aspire/Dapr comparable to something like ABP Framework?

Or are they completely different things?

10+ years experience here. I used to be like you until earlier this year when I was looking for a new job and thought it would be easy as it had always been.

Oh boy was I wrong. I tracked over 120 applications, had 20+ open processes with multiple interviews and in the end only got 1 offer (which I took).

Being able to use generic hotswappable code monkeys would be the wet dream of corporate executives. Imagine being able to scale or shrink your dev work force on demand, as if we were AWS instances. Actually this is the selling point of companies like Accenture or Globant, no wonder they have been so successful.

From a dev pov, making sure you are easily replaceable means that you could also find a new job easily. So it’s not all bad.

You are objectively correct, and it should be high status. But it isn’t. For the normies we are just a bunch of nerds.

Real high status is law, medicine, etc.

But we _are_ fungible. At least 99% of developers in 99% of projects.

Management is right in trying to remove “personality” imo.

I completely agree with you, in the context of C# code. But also take into account not everybody in HN is a C# developer, and OP syntax works better as an example of his point. All non C# devs will understand his "sql like" example easier.

I'd love to work on a "boring" stack and just ship features and build stuff but... companies are like a herd, and they all ask for the same microservices' technologies when interviewing, no matter what they are building.

So if I stay with a boring stack, I'd lose competitive advantage and face the potential of being "un-hirable" in the not-so-distant future.

The iPhone already accomplishes this pretty well in my experience. You can go to Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > Content Restrictions > Web Content > Limit Adult Websites. It blocks everything, including porn subreddits.

I assume they use some kind of regex to do this, and it works.

I suppose it was part of the "joke", but YOUR answer is the one written in ChatGPT style, not OP.

I was thinking that maybe in the near future it will be "better" to write with a couple of mistakes here and there just to prove your humanity. Like the common "loose" instead of "lose" mistake, it will be like a stamp proving that you are a human writing.

Completely agree here. Memorization is actually quite important.

Try learning Spanish from scratch with a "bad memory" and let me know how it goes.

Germany too here.

I interviewed at a company in Dortmund with international customers that paid really well and passed the technical interview, salary was very good for europe, but I am on hold for maybe weeks or months because the customer has not approved new requirements and even current devs are in danger of being let go.

In Munich it seems I am crazy to have a salary expectation of over €100k/year. Only have been offered positions to lead teams for €80-€90k. Individual contributor positions seem very hard to get at least at those salaries, plenty of IC positions for €45k-€60k.

Google here ghosted all my applications since last year.

I asked ChatGPT to rewrite the slatesarcodex article as if it were PG:

"I Can Tolerate Anything Except the Outgroup:

Tolerance is important, but it should not extend to the "outgroup". An outgroup is defined as those who are perceived as fundamentally different or opposed. Tolerance towards the outgroup can lead to harm to one's own group and undermine social cohesion. It's better to tolerate ideas and individuals within your own group and be intolerant towards the outgroup. This creates a sense of loyalty and strengthens bonds within the group."

You must be tall, white or project a lot of status/coolness in your own instagram, because honestly this approach doesn't work for 99.9% of men that try (and it's not because of lack of trying!)

maybe this is the reason why they become "advanced economies" in the first place?

Not sure why this is being downvoted as it is a spot-on comment. Aren't we starting to live in the idiocrasy already? Young people don't want to study or work hard anymore, it's all about being an influencer, a crypto investor, an only fans model, etc.

Only very young women (teens and early twenties) care about the attractiveness of your face. After 23-25 I can confidently say it is the last thing they look at.

Women of all ages look at height, though. So, if you are over 6', you can consider yourself extremely lucky, people are literally breaking their bone legs with a surgery to grow a few inches.

About being lanky. I was also very skinny my whole life, I could eat anything including unhealthy fast food, sodas, etc and never gain weight. I thought that my "metabolism was too fast", that it was genetic, and that I could not change it.

Until this year where I actually wanted a change and went from 130 to 160 lbs (58kg to 72kg). I'm 5'10 (177 cm). And for the first time of my life, I can wear something that actually fits and looks good on me.

Move to Guatemala where the average female height is 4'11. This is the average, so there are shorter women than that.

This sounds a bit to Keynes in 1930 predicting we will work 15 hours a week in the future.

I don't know what is going to happen, but less young people and an ever-increasing age in the general population requiring services doesn't sound so good of a combination. Even if your metric "how many hours does a person need to trade to get a particular product or service" goes down.

People that are actually successful using Tinder are definitely NOT looking for marriage/kids. It's a hook-up app.

You are right in your observation that women reject droves of men who aren't in the top 20%, not only in Tinder but in real life too. But OP is also right in his observation. The few males that are at the top have so many choices of women that staying with just one doesn't make too much rational sense.

In the end, we have 80% of males not being able to catch the interest of women, and the remainder 20% that do get female attention are not interested in long term relationships.

My conclusion: Low birth rates are being driven by the 20% of men as a result of the sexual preferences of 95% of women.

Having regular friends, including male ones, greatly increases your odds of meeting a romantic partner.

Also not all single guys in their early 30s are eager to find a romantic partner. I am also in that age bracket and I am avoiding having another monogamous relationship for at least some years
