I love the redundancy on tech level, but not on the human level. I can only imagine the manager’s dashboard with risks and mitigating actions.

This seems to be the trick for great food as well. I’m not Italian, but every time I talk about food with an Italian they explain how few ingredients they actually use and how quick they can make dishes. It’s more about qualitative ingredients than anything else.

Not just that, even as a company I would be seriously anxious when I know my business can be fully run by AI. That means that others can replicate your business very easily, which generates lots of competition, resulting in a race to the bottom. Which might even be good for consumers somehow.

Agree!

If you want to pirate content, go ahead pirate it. But don’t act like you’re doing something morally right or some other mental gymnastics to tell yourself you’re allowed to pirate content. The truth is, you’re doing something illegal. If you’re okay with that, then by all means go ahead, but don’t tell yourself or others that it is somehow not illegal, because it is.

It’s not always immediately obvious to what end you can use a new innovation. For instance, the Romans discovered and built a steam engine. But nobody connected the dots that it could be used to power a train.

To me, it showcases the main reason why we need to collaborate. Only together, we can exponentially increase the potential of everything we build.

Because it’s not about money, it’s about respect.

Better start now, the US might need a new one soon. /s

A smart contract as the declaration of independence would be awesome though.

It’s even become mandatory by communities in some games, which is something I hate with passion. For instance, many MMORPG communities are on Discord these days (e.g. Guild Wars 2, more specifically the raiding scene).

So I subscribed to these communities and started using Discord. I still don’t get the appeal, it’s a cluttered mess all over the place and it doesn’t feel intuitive to use. Maybe I’m getting old…

The way I see it, there are two types of developers we should take into consideration for this discussion:

• Software Engineers
• Code editors

Most “programmers” these days are really just code editors, they know how to search stack overflow for some useful pointers, copy that code and edit it to what they need. That is absolutely fine, this advances programming in so many ways. But the software engineers are the people that actually answer the stack overflow questions with detailed answers. These engineers have a more advanced skillset in problem solving for specific coding frameworks and languages.

When people say: programmers are cooked, I keep thinking that they mean code editors, not software engineers. Which is a similar trend in basically all industries in relation with AI. Yes, AI has the potential to make some jobs in health care obsolete (e.g. radiologist), but that doesn’t mean we no longer need surgeons or domain expert doctors. Same thing applies to programming.

So if you are a developer today, ask yourself the following: Do actually know my stuff well, am I an expert? If the answer is no, and you’re basically a code editor (which again, is fine), then you should seriously consider what AI means for your job.

It’s an Alfa, “Break” might be the correct terminology /s

Joke of course, I love Alfa’s!

It’s WYSIWYG all over again…
