I don't see that as a benefit. Offloading your ability to just do something simple like write complete thoughts to AI is not a good idea. The purpose of writing a book report is not just to write something. It's to teach you to read a text and criticize it. Understanding what you read and what...

I was thinking about this the other day. With how rampant kids use AI to avoid doing schoolwork the next generation will be thinking only in prompts. Permanently. The ability to just write an essay on your own using just what's in your head will be unbelievable to them.

https://www.justonecookbook.com/japanese-stewed-hamburger-steak/ This is a dope recipe that is easy to prepare. Bonus that most kids will devour this and it's low effort for a weeknight. It's better stewed than not stewed.

I don't buy it.

@TomServo Today's episode of using AI in the company. We have a custom AI Agent for the IT team. I had a cert update that broke a bunch of my CLI stuff and I know it was the cert. I get directed to the AI. The AI instructs me on how to use system permissions to simply remove all the default...

LLM's are extremely expensive to train. Indians were cheaper and almost as good. Somewhere out there a middle manager has a fabulous bullet point for working at an AI company and reducing product costs!

The top is Chichen Itza in 1892. Just to show how much the jungle had overtaken it.

Jolibee sucks. Non Flips were kinda obsessed with it in CA though. At least when I lived there.

Fantastical but still cool. More or less relevant to the thread.

That job is almost certainly an excel sheet jockey job. Something you 100% don't need foreigners to do and they wouldn't do it better anyway.

I think life is funny that way sometimes. An old HS classmate of mind rocked way too hard in her twenties and early thirties. Somehow at age 34 she had an actual come to Jesus moment and became ultra ultra religious married some guy in the Navy and torqued out 2 sets of twins and then a 5th kid...

I don't think you're able to get over the mental hurdle here as you seem to directly compare construction or factory work to white collar. You do you fam.

Visited Chicago for Memorial Day weekend. My best friend from University lives up there. Despite how gay I know Chicago is his slice of it is dope. One thing I truly wish I had living here in Texas is the ability to walk to a few places. Like the neighborhood pub, the store, and a few others in...

Absolutely any retard manager can go "durrr lets hire more Indians for half price." There is literally no skill in making that cost benefit analysis. These people are your direct competition largely due to PAJEETIFICATION. When that happens your org and your job is just fucked. They will only...

We also recently opened an office in Mexico City. Sigh.

Gotta compete with WAYMO I guess.

This is the broader problem. Especially right now. The suits truly believe and are heavily investing in the idea that AI agents and the like take a retard and make him into what was a chad programmer 15 years ago immediately. Doing exactly the Vibe Coding memes that we all laugh at but are very...

I need some context here. Why does a Nashville suburb command these prices?

This is absolutely accurate. Indian hires can normally only do the exact and singular thing they were hired for. They are unable to handle deviation well and don't learn more breadth of the infrastructure they are working in. As well as trying to offload work onto others constantly.

Speaking of that! I am migrating to github from AzDo right now because our new VP wants "automation."

Bro I fuck up all the time and I am replaceable. By your reckoning 100% of IT should be offshored due to the guaranteed cost savings. I mentioned before that it can take a year for a new dev to understand the company infrastructure and proprietary technology. This is with full on the job...

If you take the guaranteed labor cost savings of the 80% discount Indian worker as a manager you get a good bullet point on your annual budget. Guaranteed. But this also conceals later issues because many problems created by these idiots are only identified far down the road when they are...

There is no level of policing for "excessive breaks" or anything like that in software development, legal, and so on. Your level of productivity is subject to many external factors far beyond your control. You cannot just move more X or create more Y in a quota like capacity. If I finished...

Lots of management time is spent managing costs. At least at my company. We spend a lot of time understanding how to run cheaper and leaner. Your perspective of policing people is one of the factory floor which just doesn't apply in the tech industry in general. If I tell you that you can cut...

Because its becoming clear now that AI is not a shortcut to make a retard an expert in something. But rather make someone already productive far more productive if they start leveraging it. The software engineer can now have an AI agent do your dumbass email job with a few prompts to a well...

High interest credit cards and such make big bux. Its why they are offered at all. The amount of defaults is priced in.

This is a problem with management though. They see the annual labor savings and that's it.

Most interesting part is the he confirms the void above the current opening of the Pyramid used as the main door is real. This void contains a long hallway and who knows what else. I saw it posted around in here earlier but didn't know if it was substantial at all. Guess it is. The guy says...

Still a good listen.

I was just thinking about the issues in your realm. Derrr I had the AI make terraform templates for me used it to deploy this application. Its propagated onto K8s and across our infrastructure now and it worked! You fuckin wut?

I forked this one and made it read only because the idea of an AI Agent that can actually execute DML in any environment terrifies me. https://github.com/datawiz168/mcp-snowflake-service

Big time. The database one I find useful but its marginally useful. Even when the agent can run its own queries and read the results it needs specific rules on what to do with it, and lots of datasets are wildly different so it becomes less useful. What HAS been useful is creating the...

He should have made the AI do it.

https://ghuntley.com/stdlib/ Good article about AI. I simp for Cursor hard as its really the best AI tool I have used. By far. That is if you're writing code directly. Microsoft for example needs their integrated AI to be at the level Cursor is now. Like you fire up a MS application or even...

I am as antisocial as it gets in my own opinion. But being at home for YEARS eventually fucks with your head man. At this point I wouldn't even say no to a hybrid thing.

And you pretty much need to have Remote due to your location at the moment? I know Remote work is much harder to find now and if you're not going for a Senior role you pretty much wont be offered it.

Were you fired for cause/performance or laid off for structural stuff?

If you apply on those sites even for a job that does exist at X company you can very easily be applying to some middle man Indian staffing agency that then applies for you. I got caught up in one of those applying for a job at Southwest Airlines one time. Never again.

Generally. Use Indeed and Linkedin to look up what jobs exist. Then only apply on the official website for that company. It's the only way to be sure.
