So given infinite time and resources it can solve any problem? Hardly groundbreaking is it.

Opinions are like arseholes. Everyone has got one.

I’ve never seen a story shared so much

People have finally realised having non technical managers in charge of highly technical systems is a waste of time. Hook AI up to a Jira board and let the engineers do their thing.

Why are there so many people obsessed with this.

Somewhere on AWSs network it isn’t. How does it get from the Load balancer to your backend EC2’s if the load balancer is doing SSL interception

Wow, there's a lot to unpack here, and most of it just doesn’t hold water. Let's break down why this take on WFH is way off base.

First off, blaming Yahoo, Intel, and AT&T’s issues on WFH policies is a huge oversimplification. Yahoo’s downfall wasn’t about remote work; it was a mess of bad leadership, constant strategy shifts, and failing to keep up with Google and Facebook. Intel’s problems came from falling behind in chip manufacturing and losing its competitive edge, not because their employees were working from home. AT&T’s headaches are tied to their massive, poorly integrated acquisitions, not remote work.

Then there’s the claim that no company has had long-term WFH success—completely false. Look at GitLab, Automattic, and Zapier. These companies are 100% remote and are thriving. They’re not just coasting; they’re competing and winning in the marketplace. The idea that WFH kills culture and innovation just doesn’t stand up when you see how these companies operate.

The whole “remote work kills productivity” argument is outdated. Studies and real-world examples show the opposite: many people are more productive at home without the daily commute and office distractions. Plus, companies have tools and strategies to keep teams connected and engaged, so the idea that culture just dissolves over time isn’t based on reality. Culture isn’t about being in the same room; it’s about values, leadership, and communication. And remote companies are proving you can have a strong, action-driven culture without a traditional office.

Also, let’s talk about this idea that employees’ good intentions aren't enough and that without the office, everything falls apart. This screams of a lack of trust in workers, which is not how modern businesses run. Successful companies trust their people, set clear expectations, and hold them accountable—whether they’re in the office or working from a coffee shop. It’s not about babysitting; it’s about outcomes.

And this notion that computer science professionals won’t have bargaining power because of some glut is just not accurate. Sure, there are more CS grads, but the demand for skilled talent is still high, especially for top performers. Companies offering WFH flexibility are not just doing it out of kindness; it’s a strategic move to attract and retain talent in a competitive market. Restricting WFH options actually puts companies at a disadvantage.

Bottom line: dismissing WFH as some kind of fad or liability ignores the reality that a ton of companies are making it work and even excelling. If anything, leaders worth their salt are those who adapt, trust their teams, and leverage the benefits of remote work, not those who cling to outdated office norms.

That’s not their problem.

Lol! Imagine that having. Webpage for something. It’s like 1990 all over again

Well it didn’t

And did it?

Ok good luck

It’s absurd to claim that software engineers are obsolete just because AI models like o1-preview still spew out fictional libraries and incorrect functions. These models frequently get basic facts wrong, especially when the information isn’t widely available online. The so-called improvements in reasoning don’t fix the fundamental issue: these models have zero ability to verify whether the garbage they pull from their neural networks is accurate.

Let’s be clear—software engineers aren’t going anywhere. AI might be a tool, but it can’t replace the expertise and critical thinking that engineers bring to the table. The constant loop of “You’re absolutely correct, and I apologize for the oversight in my previous response. [Let me make another guess.]” only highlights how much AI still relies on guesswork rather than true understanding. It’s laughable to think that engineers are “cooked” when these models can’t even tell fact from fiction reliably. Engineers aren’t the ones who are “cooked”—it’s the hype around AI that’s overdone.

Why would anyone make it complex?

Why doesn’t software load balancers work? Also surely you just implement queuing?

When things feel chaotic and out of control, it’s important to focus on what you can manage. Here are some steps you might find helpful:

1. *Take a Step Back*: Pause and assess the situation calmly. Sometimes, taking a moment to breathe can help clear your mind.

2. *Prioritize What You Can Control*: Identify the things within your control and focus on those. Small steps can lead to significant changes.

3. *Stay Grounded*: Stick to routines that bring you stability, like regular meals, exercise, or connecting with loved ones.

4. *Seek Support*: Don’t hesitate to reach out to friends, family, or professionals. Sharing your feelings can provide relief and new perspectives.

5. *Adapt and Adjust*: Be open to change and flexible in your approach. Sometimes, adapting to the new situation is the best way to move forward.

6. *Focus on Self-Care*: Make sure you’re taking care of your physical and mental health. Rest, nutrition, and relaxation are key.

Remember, it's okay to feel overwhelmed—everyone experiences tough times. Taking these steps can help you navigate through them.

Learning NLP will take you along time on its own. Possibly even years.

What’s your Python experience so far?

Why can’t people just focus on their jobs rather than wasting time on this nonsense. So they are going to employ people or ask people already employed to monitor this. What a waste of time and resources.

Filter out the ones that have done Python/AI Bootcamps..... Then throw those Resumes in the Bin and hire the ones left.
