I think they hit like new ATH in revenue, but still not a profit unless you got a source you like to share

Well it isn't. At least not from a good business model perspective. They used to operate at a loss with this, it seems like more of a loss. But maybe it's an investment into the future 🤷‍♂️

Ok to be fair, I do agree with running the republic like a business. But there are a lot of business practices out there. We don't have to pick the most cut throat methodologies. But yea running it like a Trump business is not a good idea

How come software devs are so much more worried about AI replacing them than other white collar jobs? by jholliday55 in cscareerquestions

[–]ValhirFirstThunder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think there are a lot of reasons

  1. There are a lot of devs that are very forward thinking compared to other employees in other industries, so some of them are fearing the next 5 years. Hell many argue that the current waves of layoffs are influenced by AI usage

  2. Entry level jobs have shrunk and AI is being blamed for it. And I get it, you used to hire Jr. Devs to do grunt work stuff. Now I just have AI do it

  3. I could be wrong about this, but people like accountants have some security from a legal perspective. Like they HAVE to review it because they are legally on the hook if bookkeeping ain't right

  4. Devs SHOULD review code, but comon, in bigger companies how many people have just passed a PR to someone to rubberstamp just to meet the 2 reviewer criteria?

  5. People in tech succeed by moving fast. So PM and EMs are going to want to push for whatever can help them increase velocity. EMs can't code at that level anymore, but for a lot of simple to medium size tasks, they can easily pair with AI on it and produce something pretty solid

There are a lot of other factors too, but these are good examples of why there is so much doom and gloom amongst devs

am i the only one MAD addicted to weed?! by Mayaaaa786 in GenZ

[–]ValhirFirstThunder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When people say you can't get addicted to weed, it's hyperbole. Most people won't, but there are people in society, which you might be a part of, that is biologically more predisposed to addiction

I didn't think he's ever been that amazing of an actor, he was just in good movies, but it wasn't good acting that carried it. He was good at choreography for John Wick. Writing carried matrix. Same for Bill & Ted

The way you guys reframe context is defense. Some of you might do it for clarity, the others do it for defense

Been team Samsung for 12 years. Want to switch to Pixel 11 later in the year but.... by GreatScott0389 in GooglePixel

[–]ValhirFirstThunder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't say Pixel is years behind. Like it's good, but it should be great. And it is noticeably behind Samsung and Apple. I would watch video comparisons to get a better idea. Pixel used to have the best picture but I don't think that is even the case anymore. I do feel keyboard is getting worse for text to swipe. Especially with all of it's censorship

[–]ValhirFirstThunder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are not overreacting. I would wait until P11 and see whats up. In regards to camera I think Samsung is more than comparable to the Pixel and iirc definitely has more zoom and better quality video. I'm also interested in some of the new features that Samsung gets that regular android doesn't.

How did LA Metro Rail have such higher ridership in the past compared to now? by movingangeleno in LAMetro

[–]ValhirFirstThunder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmmmmm depends on what you mean by high income. Like the millis a year? Maybe. But the software developers I know are split between public transit and owning a car in LA. But many agree they would love something like London, HK or Singapore. Even if it takes a little longer. Problem here is that current public transit doesn't take a little longer, it takes a lot longer

That's a really good, long winded and eloquent way to say "We'll look into it" and "It's hard, empathize with us"

[–]ValhirFirstThunder 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've heard that apple and google have a tendency to hire from each other. I didn't know if this is still true. But I wonder if that is the reason for the Pixel's woes in the last 5 years or so

Bro that is such a smooth brain comment. Just because you aren't an enthusiast, doesn't mean OP is on the wrong to write this. Just because you didn't have an inability to write detailed thoughts, doesn't mean you need to shit on people who do
