From what I've seen of "ai" so far I doubt this product adds value to a team. But it doesn't matter! Using them means the CEO gets to say he is embracing ai in his products, and the engineering manager gets to say he's improving his teams velocity by using ai, and resumes and stock go up in value and around we go! I don't want to get off!

When I saw the backpack and the gun I thought "so he's a guy that likes luxury gadgets and lifestyle items with neat functionality... software engineer?"

If he had gone to a decent coffee shop and not Starbucks I'd have been convinced

Why are so many techies also keto fanboys.

I suspect it's because diets like keto say it's OK to eat loads of meat and basically don't require any sacrifice. Fuck the environment and fuck other animals right bros?!

$200 a month! Lol, for what?

Save yourself the money and learn how to use a search engine and read documentation.

Honestly I haven't seen much value provided for me by these "AI" models.

I don't buy it. I think people are tired of the current system. Seeing loved ones suffer because of lack of healthcare.

For me the irony is that this has brought people from both sides of the political divide together, yet the people on the right just voted for a guy that will make society even more unfair.

Perhaps the next four years will be a true reckoning. The darkest moments before the dawn of a new era. The rise of Bernie 2.0, half man half machine, an efficient anti-drilling machine.

Are you judging them with an assumption that they earn so much that a 30k drop in salary still results in a large salary?

Seems like it.

But what if that wasn't the case at all and they desperately needed an income and were willing to take an unfairly small salary?

The problem is we live in a society now where everyone has a public platform to promote themselves (linkedin etc) and there are a lot of ruthlessly ambitious narcisists who put self promotion and resume building ahead of everything else.

So they muscle into a team lead or manager position and grow the team, because it looks good to post on linked in "hey I'm growing my team" and it doesn't matter if the team needs another person.

And who cares if the company is then stuck with surplus employees, not the person who hired them because they have moved on and up at another company.
