Most execs can be replaced with a Bash script, not even technically interesting.

I think it remains to be seen. If the vast majority of text I read is synthetic, my writing will naturally start to smell synthetic too.
Came here to say that. I'd rather spend 4 days automating my local development environment than spend half an hour every time figuring out why my deps are mismatched, or what is the correct env var to put over there.
If everyone on the team wastes 10 minutes on random BS every day, it is thousands of money compounding over months.
When it comes to tech layoffs, the AI argument is almost complete BS. If they really wanted to increase productivity, they'd be purchasing agent subscriptions, not laying ppl off.
The layoffs are happening because it is too easy to outsource tech work to exploited workers in foreign countries. In the vast majority of these cases AI should be read as "Actually Indian" (with utmost respect to my Hindu-speaking colleagues, I have learned so much from you).
They are just exploiting the lack of international labor protections, there is nothing new.
Some of my favorite childhood memories are getting together with 2-3 friends to play ad-hoc Monster Hunter on PSPs. It's exciting to imagine what can be done now with a similar feature being a core part of a game's design.
Cory Doctorow is right!
QWERTY is so ass, I want a Colemak phone
Unless it's about revoking all trade agreements that obligate EU countries to enforce digital IP ownership, it's a half measure. Corey Doctorow is right, we need to make jailbreaking American tech legal - kick them in their wallets.
Yeah isn't it more like wrinkly fat?
Heeey you're right, it is very proggy! Glad you enjoyed it
