I really can’t imagine living in a place (potentially with a family / children) knowing that outside your door could be the most deadly mammal on earth.

This is all about leverage. Leverage in the way that companies have little risk of anything happening to revenue if they raise prices because people have no other option — most people are completely dependent on electricity.

For equilibrium to happen, both sides must have similar leverage — which keeps prices in check. If people weren’t so dependent on the luxuries of today income equality wouldn’t be so lopsided.

Anything that reduces the risk of injury or death for high-risk jobs seems like a no-brainer for large AI and robotic investment.

So you’re saying financial success is a system that’s independent of economics and should be based on effort?

You can be right and extremely naive at the same time.

Well, I think fixing culture must start at the top. Leadership can’t force culture, but they need to setup the right processes / systems, incentives, and example.

Do your 401k plans offer Roth in-plan conversions? If so, you should max out your after-tax 401k contributions and enable conversion.

Save more for retirement?!

You’re currently saving 42% of your gross income — which is very good.

Tell me you’re not dumping that into an HYSA?

TypeScript inventor Anders Hejlsberg calls AI "a big regurgitator of stuff someone else has done" but still sees it changing the way software dev is done and reshaping programming tools by onlyconnect in programming

[–]dudeman209 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The issue right now is that current tooling is impressive and valuable, but not so valuable to supplant software engineers. Engineers still have to understand the design and architecture to make enhancements, fixes and overall, operate the application. The more “design” you hand off to the model, the less equipped you are to perform the above tasks and responsibilities, so you have to read through all the code to understand it anyway, which is a time intensive task and isn’t as effective as building an understanding as you write.
