That they're trying counts for brownie points, it's not an excuse to be satisfied with something that still bothers a lot of people. Do better, CloudFlare.
So far it's pretty good. We're at least one major version behind, but hey everything still works.
I cannot imagine other products support as many data sources (though I'm starting to think they all suck, I just dump what I can in InfluxDB).
I've thought about this problem, though I'm currently employed I'm sending resumes (sparingly). I wonder if the cover letters I send get mistaken for AI; though I doubt it I have no way to know. More likely, they don't get through the deluge of fakes. Even my CV might not, it's impressive in my mind but an AI might write numbers bigger than mine. At least my LinkedIn is old.
This all sucks, I can't wait for regulations (but I'm not holding my breath).
I"m aware that there are things I'm unaware of. Perhaps I don't know how to use Excel, I'm "no true Excel user" if you will, and therefore my opinion is invalid. Like you I'm baffled not by the technical side of things but by our reaction to it. People say "it powers 10% of the world's economy" but not "and it's a problem".
It's a problem. My point is not that LO is better, it's that we should work to remove our dependency on closed-source software for universal office work. Governments should be doing that. But no, let's just say "the other one sucks" and continue to act like depending on a single for-profit company for all our economies is a good thing.
Not sure how my other comment relates to this. Is it arrogant to have preferences?
Get to replacing us already. It's a gold rush, someone needs to get rich selling shovels.
I've said this on here before, but replacing programmers means replacing our entire economy. Programming is, by and large, information processing. Guess how many business's services can be summed up as "information processing"? I'd wager most of them.
So maybe you're fucked, yes, but if so, we all are. Maybe we'll just have to find something to do other than exchange labor for sustenance...
