Yes 10k? Insane we have companies larger than counties. This all depends on how many they needed to hire in the first place. Also, I don't this reflects the AI transition at all.

Can someone explain how much of value the iOS app is to users? I'm a noob at Patreon, aren't creators receiving their support through the website's payment gateway already? I'm not really against a company setting the rules if it's their platform, if the market cannot accept it then alternatives (competitors) will eventually find new ways.

The most important question is who will get paid the most? I don't think the future of software engineering will be attractive if all you do is more work for same or even less pay. A second danger is too much reliance on AI tools will centralise knowledge and THAT is the scariest thing. Software systems will need to perform for a long time, having juniors on board and people who understand software architecture will be massively important. Or will all software crash when this generation retires?

I appreciated the post, this is just not correct thought if you've heard about Open source.

"The entire economy of software assumes that code should serve millions to justify its existence."

Maybe she points to /tech industry/ and not /software/

I think it would make more sense in a pure AI-topic, but the fact that you can scrape copyrighted content and create services (AI companies) is the original idea behind my comment. I'm not sure to what extent CoPilot was trained on private repositories or other possibly copyrighted code. But if it was e.g, I'm supporting their (Zig's) cause.

I believe this less as of now. Sure you can put in the hours, but you can see the difference between ppl that are fast learners and not.

™Do what you are" is a much better ordination. Some people are better wired for sports, maths or arts etc. Far too many are shoehorned into careers not suitable for them intrinsically - but that's also how the economy works. Hey, maybe you're talking about hobbies though?

I think also that what you're getting inner motivation from is also the most hidden from you, therefore it becomes necessary to explore and try to align with as many things as you can. If you're lucky then you do it at an early age.

Would be interesting to read something about engineering degrees too. Are some degrees less worth pursuing? Is it sensible to spend 5 years if you're gonna become a PPT wizard ( sure good pay probably).

Dude there are crimes everywhere. Here we're fighting chat control and other surveillance mechanisms being implemented. I don't think there's a "neutral ground" to be found - just allies and enemies.

Yes, it still follow the same PEP standard no? So why would I invest in something like that and I’m never impressed by “speed improvements”. uv high speed infrastructure is not really what is my bottleneck in projects.

Thanks for pointing that out. You could also say it’s a condensed high entropy comment. Anyway I’ll outline a more thorough dismissal.

Edit: and turns out a smart guy is top rated comment atm

"All python packaging challenges are solved. Lesson learned is that there is not a single solution for all problems. getting more strings attached with VC funded companies and leaning on their infrastructure is a high risk for any FOSS community."
