TheBigSalad··on I know why the mathematicians weep
What's your source for "Software engineers are getting laid off because of advancements made by AI". I haven't experienced that in my field and can't find any data to support that notion.

Try a ring dinger
TheBigSalad··on Meta reaches $17B settlement over social media harms to children
Well they're suing meta on behalf of the children. So obviously the children will be getting the money. Right? Right?
TheBigSalad··on Meta reaches $17B settlement over social media harms to children
Just a ridiculous cash grab
TheBigSalad··on The oldest bar in every state
There was never a point in American history where the Irish were not considered white. It's just that racism is amazingly not limited to whites vs non-whites.
TheBigSalad··on Latest Airbus single aisle aircraft innovations
I would. Just throw me in a coffin.
TheBigSalad··on Latest Airbus single aisle aircraft innovations
For coach, I wish they would just stack people in laying down. Laying down for the flight would be much better than sitting. I don't see why they couldn't get the same amount of people in if they configured the plane correctly.

TheBigSalad··on Lore – Open source version control system designed for scalability
Because our entire industry has fallen into the rut of "more tools"... rather than fixing the real issues that hold us back.

This is why I'm not motivated to build something better. I don't think anyone would care.

Yes. Some software is just really bad.
TheBigSalad··on Lore – Open source version control system designed for scalability
That sucks, git is so absolutely horrible. It's crazy to me that nobody has made anything better yet. Although I could start that myself and yet have not.
TheBigSalad··on Automating myself out of development
You have to make those architectural decisions and feed them to the agents. Be very specific. That's been my experience.
TheBigSalad··on Where Did Earth Get Its Oceans? Maybe It Made Them Itself
You're talking about a thing that happened for 1 species for such a small period of Earth's history to be just a blip. There's not enough data to draw a conclusion here.
TheBigSalad··on Scott Adams has died
I think he means that it was like family in the sense that he was there. You didn't choose him, Dilbert was just everywhere. And back in the day everyone loved Scott Adams, but then thing started to go bad over time and we all realized what was happening. It's similar to what a lot of families face - you love someone when you're younger but realize how messed up things are later. Or the person changes in negative ways. I don't see this as justifying anything.

Is this HAL from space odyssey?

And this encourages the people with integrity to quit.
TheBigSalad··on Online Safety Act: What went wrong?
Maybe I'm being pedantic, but I really hate this statement: Until we start thinking about the true test of any policy: implementation and enforcement.

The true test of policy should be the desired outcome behind that policy.
