Staples. I have a broken Canon now and before had a broken HP. Both were dirty cheap. I imagine how much the environment suffers from broken printers alone.

I am not buying a new one. Only going to stores to print.

lol I know, I applied for them around 4-5 years ago and thought it was a joke... I did the first part which was some gimmic IQ tests and then I had to write an essay (which I didn't) !

You basically described Canonical's hiring process !

question bank ?! lol, no wonder people complain about being performative.

If you have nothing to talk about, cancel it

Really depends on the team etc. I don't think every team needs to have 1-1, certainly not weekly as a mandate.

The best cultures I worked at didn't have 1-1 series by default

No. Because the investment to get into the game is too big and takes too long. The ones who can create the silicon are already oversubscribed.

great question, probably around 1998 ! How is it relevant to 2026 ?

Right, so I have to do manual work going over 10000000 of results ? Or trusting SEO / google algorthm instead ?

That hasn't been my experience. It has been working really well for what I need.

SEO optimization totally ruined google search for me for the past few years

How do you make it without AI ? Are you parsing through millions of pages yourself ?

I don't disagree with you, but google search has gone so downhill that I had stopped using it before they moved to the AI approach, which is actually pretty decent.

"Next 5y" doesn't apply to AI factories

They are until they aren't. My grandmother had a puncture and almost died

lol. AI just started in the kind of usage being discussed in this thread, how would it make any difference on something that is quarterly reviewed

That seems like a you problem

No one cares about this kind of stuff. 99% of the devs are not English native speakers, what do you expect ? It works and we all can understand it

Python existed for years before uv with a huge ecosystem, and will continue to do so after/if it dies

Do you feel sad for people who use a computer or a cellphone or file taxes online instead of paper ? How is this any different ?

I use those tools to make my life easier/faster

That's true. Except that you can have Agents doing it 24/7 with no human input. The amount of repos/PRs is only limited by GPUs

Isn't that the premise of Fallout ?

How much are you spending ? See initial post of the thread. My team has no problems with it, they are spending each 5-10k per month.

I think the output of companies that can invest on tokens vs those who cannot will lead to crazy different outcomes in the next few years.

Why read code when you are getting results fast ? See https://steve-yegge.medium.com/welcome-to-gas-town-4f25ee16d...

I am not kidding. People don't seem to understand what's actually happening in our industry. See https://www.linkedin.com/posts/johubbard_github-eleutherailm...

If you are not spending 5-10k dollars a month for interesting projects, you likely won't see interesting results

Yes I absolutely love it.

Right that's fair. But you can browse websites made with the technology of that time -- maybe ?

Or work with it disconnected on other bits... but yeah. The world you're connecting to has changed..

These are just agents with a different name ? People have been working like that today.

You can buy the same hardware today and do whatever you want with it.

Why do you think the world is going to shit ? Maybe disconnect from the internet a little bit ?

Life has never been safer and better for majority of the population in the world, what good does it do to you to keep engaging with content that makes you feel bad ?

"Live frugally" , "FIRE" , "work in tech"

All incompatible with 99% of the upper class, neither do they want to eat ramen to retire early.

You're also one medical disaster away from being "very very wrong"
