In theory yes.
In practice I find the more stuff like this you throw at it the more rope it has to hang itself with. And you spend so much time prompt adjusting so it doesn’t do the wrong things that you were better off just doing half of the tasks yourself.
Given it’s a bank I’d say it’s the thing where everyone is a VP.
If the dude was a true higher up he wouldn’t be bragging about Reddit modding
My parents did that with my sisters.
Shockingly I’m not on speaking terms with my parents.
Same. Refuse to use NVIDIA going forward for anything.
Didn’t watch but is this the “code doesn’t matter as long as you’re fulfilling customer requirements” take?
Because while there’s a nugget of truth to that (a desired app will always beat a well engineered app that doesn’t do what people want it to) you’ll hit a point where you stall out and can’t build more features and fulfill requirements because of the decisions (or lack thereof) you made before. It’s not an excuse to just throw caution to the wind and make boneheaded decisions.
It’s something that loser vibecoders on LinkedIn all learn the hard way after you get out of the “toy” phase of development.
The poor kids can’t even afford coal and fall through the cracks.
That one is dumb. I love E33 so much but you can tell this had a budget behind it.
They need a “small team” game award or something like that or enforce requirements on indie categories.
Non-engineering roles I think.
IIRC levels correspond to all employees across the company.
Yeah it’s weird and I don’t get it either.
Yeah this was my experience when I worked there. Driving goals and doing good work isn’t enough. You need a fancy project to demonstrate “expanded scope” otherwise your promo would get rejected.
Sometimes things worked the way you wanted and people got promoted doing their normal job. A lot of times though there were a lot of fancy projects built to get people promos that suckers got stuck with the bill on.
This ain’t a case of one dude scamming the system as much as it is institutional rot from red tape.
At Amazon you have the following levels
L4 - Junior. A new grad. Expected to be promoted within 2 years or let go
L5 - Mid engineer. Very wide band. Encapsulates anything between a level 2 engineer and a team lead at other companies. Can be expected to lead individual teams at times. Is considered a “terminal” position (there’s no expectation of a promotion past here)
L6 - Senior. Has the scope of what a Staff engineer would at other companies where you’re not only concerned with your team but others in the department. I think like 10% of engineers ever hit L6
L7 - Principal Engineer. You have like 1-2 of these per department. These are more like architects at other companies. About 1-2% of engineers ever hit this band.
L8 and beyond are for fancy hires and shit. Very few if anyone ever works their way up to those bands.
Maybe he want to write damn login page himself.
My favorite was an abstract class that called 3 levels in to other classes that then called another implementation of said abstract class.
And people wonder why no one on our team ever got shit done.
Sorry can’t hear you as AI brrs over hiring applications and performance reviews
They are all various AWS services
You’re joking but yes this does actually happen lol
Also requires AWS to do the same thing which they sometimes don’t …
I hear the saudis will gift Trump a $400 million dollar bus to get him to look the other way.
Did you ask them why they were letting emotion control the narrative??
The only “charitable” take I can give this is that he’s been fighting Apple and Google over store fees and the like and that he feels like if he says that Apple/Google can do this then they should be able to restrict EGS as well.
I don’t know why CSAM AI material is the hill you’d make this point with though.
