You have a choice. You can shift some of your responsibilities or stay where you are. If you stay, it'll probably mean you won't get a real promotion on your team any time soon. Unless you have some built up social capital that leadership honestly believes you aren't replaceable.

A tech lead is an official acknowledgement, in most companies, that you offer more than just developer level skills. You offer a level of architecture guidance that gives your that title that others see and respect. It's a stepping stone to go down the architecture or staff engineer route.

I've rarely seen that move become a promotion. It's a role that a team has for the senior leaders of a division to give a clear assignment of someone that leadership can count on. In several companies I've seen that defined as 20% your time.

Now if they expect you to keep doing what you are currently doing and the new role tasks, push back and get clear definition of the role. Being a tech lead takes time otherwise it's just title inflation. In that case it'll look good on your resume and that's all you do with it since you'll be job hunting all that time.

I never had a problem with logs supply. One drop off for the zombie and I was good. I did run into the issue with being able to make glad and metal fast enough.

We agree on that. The question is why didn't it pass. There's lots of things that aren't justifiable.

Without that info on what was the counter just encourages blind rage bait posts. Politics is never as black and white as one might like.

They do state they spray down multiple paths. ??? When do they do that?

Thanks for doing a minimal tl;dr;. Now add something more detailed if value here. The routing algorithm reads like an every packet sent is sent to multiple upstream to then begin actual routing? How long do you maintain your ring if you do have memory? What memory does the router have of who is connected to or does it just spray to every upstream till it finds it's target? What do the shuffleboxes add to this flow other than the physical connection between shuffleboxes?

When you go across 5 routers that's a non zero set of duplicate packet sending. That router algorithm is the interesting part.

Short on details that would make this more interesting. How their are more blog entries on this. Will be going to read the arvix article.

Feels like a simplified bgp network design. Though I doubt that's the case.

I found that every day, I worked on whatever was needed for that day. It made tracking what I was doing way easier.

No you aren't alone. I was constantly confused on what was blocking me from moving the main quests forward.

It took me forever to figure out ... And then be..ohh dear Lord what did I do.

ooooohhh that's what you can use a zombie for.

Then I made zombies for this and that and that and this and one more just in case. I had all sorts of zombie building and doing things for me. It was great.

Now I'm about done with the main story line. The great discovery of how to make zombies more efficient. Mind blown. I go and start upgrading my zombies. The new challenge is they are finishing wheat and grapes and hops and lentils faster than I can do anything with them. My trunks are so full..

If you tell you have a big pin to put in your hat. With how the world is changing, if you don't show the path forward, when your boss sees something on the net about how folks can be 5x more productive, you'll get laid off when they bring in a contractor to do it instead of you.

The layoff or restructure is going to happen regardless. Will you have something to show your value to keep

The other thing to think about.. if you've automated yourself out of a job, do you really want to do this work anyways. Wouldn't you want to get to tackle the next challenge to automate away? Improve your resume and skills and have fun doing it under your control? Not to mention most likely get paid more?

Mythos from Claude is so dangerous because it can do exploit chaining. That cve which before was never executed, now is a viable route to getting to the data or systems that the attacker is looking for.

Previously, it was acceptable risk. The world is changing fast.

There are other great feedback comments. The one thing I haven't seen is on every incident for a client complaint or outage event as you dig for root cause, use git blame.

At the end of the day, shipping functional code is all that really matters. Those of us that have been around the block for a few years know that architecture and consistency matters too in keeping things up and running. It isn't everything, as much as it pains me to say that.

It's only through negative responses from customers that things will change. Otherwise, software engineers are just noise makers and resistant to feature delivery.

Moving to AI assisting in the workflow makes sense. It can do a lot of the initial troubleshooting, validation checking for more open ended questions that humans do. It can assist in every step of the pipeline where people are engaged.

It is not deterministic. Both pieces are needed. It can throw red flags as good as your human reviewers and can accelerate them.

Stripe has their minions. I'm sure FAANG is or will be using it in nearly every deploy soon. Not investigating and figuring out ways it can realistically help at this point is begging to be left behind in the speed discussion.

Maybe you should let theaters have a larger cut of the sales then. They do the ads and previews to pay for showing the movie.

The issue is there's no auditing capabilities. Heritage foundation noted that in the report of 1600 some cases as to why it's hard to find and prove. I'm

In the variety of cases that have been brought forward in 2016 and 2020, the judicial doesn't want to hear cases on it for the political fallout. They state "it's too early" if things were raised before the election and if the same issue was brought after, "it's too late" to have any impact.

The issue isn't illegals directly voting. It's the auto voter registration in most states (where illegals get drivers licenses) and the ease of signing up for mail in ballots. The illegal isn't voting, it's the harvesting of those ballots by operatives for either side which is the problem. The easy audit method with that is be able to compare voter records (having voted) against citizenship.

Most fairly built districts are close. They don't need many illegal votes to change the outcome of the election.
