I misread the topic and thought this was about the "sexiest stereotypes" like a woman smart woman talking about a topic she's passionate about or a man that frees trapped wildlife.

WTF is wrong with these racist assholes?!

That will backfire on employers. With the shortage of seniors with good skills, the demand will rise for them. An employer that squeezes his seniors will find them quitting because there will be another desperate employer that will treat them better.

As a long time tech user within about 5 years of retirement, I don't quite agree with this for a couple of reasons. Tech is fine if its tech that serves me. I'm certainly not going to be doing JIRA updates in retirement, but I'll absolutely use a web browser, word processor, and probably a coding environment for my own personal projects. Retrocomputing is much more appealing to me too.

Also, I think most folks in IT have no idea how hard farming actually is, both mental and physically. Farming is really hard work, and having to manage some of the same annoying things we deal with in IT such as following complicated regulations, dealing with asinine people in power over you, and delivery dates.

But inexperienced coders will start to use LLMs a lot earlier than the experienced ones do now.

And unlike you that can pick out a bad method or approach just by looking at the LLM output where you correct it, the inexperienced coder will send the bad code right into git if they can get it to pass a unit test.

I get your point, but I guess the learning patterns for junior devs will just be totally different while the industry stays open for talent.

I have no idea what the learning path is going to look like for them. Besides personal hobby projects to get experience, I don't know who will give them a job when what they produce from their first efforts will be the "bad coder" output that gets replaced by an LLM and a senior dev.

At least I hope it will and it will not only downsize to 50% of the human workforce.

I've thought about this many times, and I'm just not seeing a path for juniors. Given this new perspective, I'm interested to hear if you can envision something different than I can. I'm honestly looking for alternate views here, I've got nothing.

It won’t replace good coders but it will replace bad ones because the good ones will be more efficient

Here's where we just start touching on the second order problem. Nobody starts as a good coder. We start making horrible code because we don't know very much, and though years of making mistakes we (hopefully) improve, and become good coders.

So if AI "replaces bad ones" we've effectively ended the pipeline for new coders to enter the workforce. This will be fine for awhile as we have two to three generations of coders that grew up (and became good coders) prior to AI. However, that most recent generation that was pre-AI is that last one. The gate is closed. The ladder pulled up. There won't be any more young "bad ones" that grow up into good ones. Then the "good ones" will start to die off or retire.

Carried to its logical conclusion, assuming nothing else changes, then there aren't any good ones, nor will there every be again.

I'm imagining code snippets that would actually download ads into applications people are writing. This would target those that copy/paste'd code without having any concept of what the code in question does.

This is a bit of a misnomer. While North American River otters have zero knowledge on field-effect devices, they have a good grasp of junction devices such as transistors. It would not be surprising to anyone that knows otters that they can be bi-polar.

When the solution to the problems are ‘low prices sell more product’ and literally every company seems to be ignoring that

Its not that simple. Selling more product at a lower price may not result in higher profits. These companies generally don't care about sales as much as they do profits. Selling 10x the amount of product, but at break-even or a loss would be worse to the company than it is now with their declining sales. PepsiCo's problem as I see it, is PepsiCo makes only a few products (some of their minor food brands) that would actually be a necessary purchase to live. Everything else they make is a luxury that people can skip if they can't afford it.

Everyone is getting squeezed with rising costs in housing, transportation, actual food, and medical care costs that can't be skipped, so it is PepsiCo products (and brands like them) are the first things we cut out.

2028: The law was changed and now Barron is president.

If you look at the history of what donald did to his dad, you'd see why donald would never let his son have power of him. They're all horrible people.

I have some fantastic mom & pop shops in my area that I patronize regularly. However, just being a mom & pop pizza shop doesn't make their pizza good. I've spend a lot of money on bad mom & pop shop pizza.

The good news is that is super easy to remedy.

I have to learn the basics of stir-fry first! :) I'm a pretty basic cook, but haven't really tried my hand at stir-fry.

I really appreciate you sharing your knowledge on the wok cooking though, and I didn't know about the specifics behind wok hei, though I always love that flavor from restaurants.

However, sautéed green beans in cast iron on an induction stove is one of my go-to dishes at home. What I make is NOT 四季荳! I have to go to a restaurant for that lovely dish! There was another thread here on Lemmy we were talking about induction cooking and I had taken some picture that last time I made my green beans. You're absolutely right on my overcrowding:

And after looking up your comment about wok hei temperatures starting at about 260°C and going as high as 371°C, you're also absolutely right my regular methods are nowhere near that (but until your post I didn't know about wok hei specifics). I used a FLIR camera when I was in middle of cooking and you can see I was only at about 150°C. This was the induction element set at 6 or 7 I think:
