Are engineers really doing vibecoding in the truest sense of the word though? Just blindly copy/pasting and iterating? Because I don't. It is more of sculpting via conversation. I start with the requirements, provide some half-baked ideas or approaches that I think may work and then ask what the LLM suggests and whether there are better ways to achieve the goals. Once we have some common ground, I ask to show the outlines of the chosen structure: the interfaces, classes, test uses. I review it, ask more questions/make design/approach changes until I have something that makes sense to me. Only then the fully fleshed coding starts and even then I move at a deliberate pace so that I can pause and think about it before moving on to the next step. It is by no means super fast for any non-trivial task but then collaborating with anyone wouldn't be.
I also like to think that I'm utilising the training done on many millions of lines of code while still using my experience/opinions to arrive at something compared to just using my fallible thinking wherein I could have missed some interesting ideas. Its like me++. Sure, it does a lot of heavy lifting but I never leave the steering wheel. I guess I'm still at the pre-agentic stage and not ready to letting go fully.
Fedora 43 with KDE - have been using 140% scaling with my Dell Ultrasharp 32" 4k monitor - no issues whatsoever. I've noticed that the Dells do a pretty good job with Linux - I have used monitors of various sizes ranging from 27" to 43" and never had any issues on Linux.
It should be much more punishing from the 4th home like 45%. One can understand 2/3 homes, e.g., one to live in and the rest as investment for retirement income. More than that is just greed. Also, if you don't live in one of your properties, either sell one to keep the total number within 3 or pay additional tax.
if you allow each person to have 1-2 investment homes then you have the exact same problem but now it's decentralised and more people (more voters) benefit from the problem continuing to worsen
I mean that can be adjusted/tightened - you can say one to live in and one for rental and that's it. Other factors like other investment income etc can also be part of the criteria.
All great until the code in production pushed by Opus 314.15 breaks and Opus 602.21, despite it's many tries, can't fix it and ends it with "I apologize". That's when you need a developer who can be told "fix it". But what if all the developers then are "Opus 600+ certified" ai-native and are completely incapable of working without it's assistance? World powers decide to open the forbidden vault in the Arctic and despite many warnings on the chamber, decide to raise the foul-mouthed programmer-demon called Torvalds....
Also, time to tax for AI use. Introduce AI usage disclosures for corporations. If a company's AI usage is X, they should pay Y tax because that effectively means they didn't employ Z people instead and the society has to take care of them via unemployment benefits and what not. The more the AI usage, higher the tax percentage on a sliding scale.
I live in a country which does something similar with (legally) disabled employees. All companies with more than 30 employees must have at least 1 employee who is legally disabled (certificate of disability) in every 50 employees. It's OK if you don't, but the company is mandated to pay an additional salary in tax for each missing disability certificate.
You're right.
But you know what they'll do - they'll offshore those "jobs" e.g token usage to countries that are A.I friendly or that can be bribed easily and do whatever they have to do to fight it out in courts for a decade or as long as it takes. Or am I being pessimistic here?
You are being realist and I'm equally reserved about the change actually taking place. It'll take things to get a whole lot more worse before anything even close to real steps being taken.
Feeder on Android is my pick.
Thunderbird does RSS, and I already use it for email, so it's a nice all in one on Linux.
Both can use OPML files to import/export your feeds.
> Some questions really are dumb and bring no value to the table.
They do tell you that the person asking them either isn't getting it, which is valuable information, or that they are trying to ask questions for the sake of it, which is also valuable information.
Which is exactly what the OP was saying - these are the kind of questions that are often needed, but that seniors won't ask because it'll make them lose face. Juniors are the ones allowed to "not get it".
