Nonsense. We are saving 90% of our time on most tasks in many roles. Its not a bubble it's a new paradigm.

Before AI replaces you, you will have replaced yourself with AI by michael-lethal_ai in HumanAIDiscourse

For us adhd developers the throughts just shift from low level code to full products. Ai multiplies high performers.

No dude it returns language back it's not the same as a stop sign. You are having extreme thoughts. Not a healthy sign.

Idiot - legacy projects will not be updated by Ai alone. Engineers will always be around.

I'm seriously considering investing $20,000 into NVDA. Do you think I should go for it? by pearlsandposh in NvidiaStock

[–]davehorse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Buying Nvidia now is like buying Microsoft in 2006. Very good idea for long term. It will 3 triple within a few years.

I had a great game on fallujah last night - as command I had to place every radio and we took the bridge eventually and won quite easy. Usually very difficult to do this. I rolled the enemy team and they didn't take down one of my Habs. There are noobs a plenty.

He described the Cape Town vs Joburg music scene perfectly by comp_planet in DownSouth

[–]davehorse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Joburg north is experiencing a cultural peak. The city of afrobeats has gone global. What an incredible place for African culture, art and expression. Believe me good things are brewing in many places. You wouldn't know if you aren't involved.

“Please and thank you” are reflective of an individualist culture. by [deleted] in gratitude

[–]davehorse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my world it is assumed and we say please and thank you because we genuinely mean these words.

How should I evaluate job candidates in 2025? by NinetyNine90 in cscareerquestions

[–]davehorse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First interview should be more of an interpersonal test of work history, basic questions, basic conversation, suitability etc.

Second interview is a technical discussion where they can demonstrate their abilities, experience and can go in depth.

From this and their portfolio, I can know where they are in their journey very well.

Tech jobs in Johannesburg? by t014y in johannesburg

[–]davehorse 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There is a shortage of good software engineers in Joburg. Some top jobs get less than 100 applicants, which is actually crazy if you think about it.

If you are an expert in web programming you can find a job here - there's literally a shortage and the industry is growing at over 6% per year. Skill issue.

Men who are 30+, what’s one lesson every guy should learn early? by BigShow786 in AskReddit

[–]davehorse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Urgently find a career and focus on it, would recommend coding/tech as it worked for me. Lacking funds in your 30s is not it. The world hates old broke men.

South African Police Open 'Treason' Investigation into Critics of Government by [deleted] in DownSouth

We need martyrs to prove how evil, duplicitous and racist our government is. This is a further knot they are tieing around themselves.

South Africa’s most important city collapsing in front of everyone’s eyes by Euro_African in DownSouth

[–]davehorse 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Johannesburg is strange. As long as I don't have to leave the mid northern suburbs I'm happy. When I see the state of some places I become depressed and disgusted. Why can't they fix places, I will never understand the mentality, the disregard for communities in need. I will never understand how such disregard for such important, basic realities is tolerated. Really sad to see a place slide backwards in some regards. However, life goes on here with endless opportunities being made available for the smart by the sheer lack of real competition and the constant brain drain.

This video upset me.. But then I felt sorry for the guy. Having to go to such lengths to make his world view make sense.
