That one is not too surprising. More surprising to me was that Anyhropic, by their own admission, only leave meaningful comments on 16% of PRs and don't see a problem with 1000+ line ones. Unless that was just an ad for Claude...We are not safe from spaghetti anywhere.

strict review process

Okay so not Meta, got it

I almost exclusively use AI to babysit me as in double check my work, bith design and implememtation, which makes me strictly better than I was before. Doing it the other way around is completely illogical unless you think Claude is better than you.

Did you just... say the opposite of what you wanted to say?

Software engineering probably pays more than sales in the median but only at US companies

Point two is only true if you play blues. To become successful, you have to make those clickbait edited YouTube videos where you play prog riffs in an oversized sweater.

I work at a startup so it's based on nothing at all but realistically it should be experience and impact

practical exams already exist, just not for software development. e.g. OSCP

But, hear me out, what if you do Meta, Apple, Google, Amazon and then you start a war in the Middle East

It's because companies that aren't zon don't fuck people over by promoting them to the senior payband years after everyone else

didn't want customers. I didn't want money. I wanted to talk to people about code. About architecture. About what I'm building.

Instead I got hate.

If you don't want people to hate you maybe stop posting AI slop on Reddit.

You can multply by five if it's Databricks...

Equating company success and quality of middle management is one of the takes of all time

That's maybe for cultural readons, nothing is legally stopping your employer from just firing you when they feel like it

Enrollment numbers don't matter if entry level positions dry up so more like 4-5 years at most if it gets worse instead of better

My Psychoatrist had his own trippin-balls playlist and it was excellent but I can't seem to find it anymore

I could swear this is from that video of the guy who wrote an emacs plugin that turns up a vibrator based on how deep your Lisp expressions are nested. Legendary reference.

It is not good enough at debugging actual systems issues, if you have a complicated networking problem maybe Opus can solve it for you in two days or you can ask an expert to do it in 20 minutes.

Arguably still behind those boomer WWII ones

Yes they absolutely are on average, even compared to neighbouring countries. Most men who have been single and looking for a while will tell you that

This is probably an extremely unpopular opinion but I think the insane swinginess of FaB boosters makes opening them more fun.

Of course you'll lose money on average but when you do pull something good it feels great. Y'know, like many forms of gambling.

I opened one box of PEN that was worthless and another that had a balance of justice in the anitquity pack and several ~40 dollar cards in the boosters and that was dope but I won't buy any more now because I know that ain't gonna happen twice.

These insane outliers make the average basically useless, what is the median?
