But that's good outcome. You would rather spend time on projects where you agree with the project policies.

I mean people are nowadays are really scared of using microwave oven too. What happens if I heat my coffee 1 min too long. Could be near death experience. Thats why I always drive down to Starbucks for coffee!

True! Decline of defiance or something. Everyone is suddenly a follower. Any idea what caused it? Micro plastics in the brain? Social media?

Isn't AGI Adult Group Interaction?

Yes, I didn't think ofthat. See he is right. They did achieve AGI, just not the one he wanted

Do they have Middle Age Grandpas on MTV nowadays?

Sean Duffy was born in 1971. His oldest child is (or was) pregnant. He is literally a middle aged grandpa.

and i mentioned this being about the guys age exactly where

For reference, you responded to this post:

with this:

> I guess you kids have no idea who the Secretary of Transportation is

It seems to me that GP knows exactly who the Secretary of Transportation is. If you've got some clever hidden alternative interpretation of your comment, please share it with us.

the secretary of transportation gained his fame and notoriety by being a star in an MTV reality show in the 1990s and that's why Trump likes him. Not because he got a law degree or used his dad's influence to become a prosecutor, there's millions of those.

Get it? Trump picks wildly unqualified idiots from TV shows, just like him.

Do kids know what MTV is?

I think he is real deal. I mean in reality he learned or knows very little about technical matters. No fraud needed.

Perhaps these are for deep divers who discuss Apple watch deep diving features than actual deep diving.

True. This is Globalism at work. If these companies were not selling goods and services globally then they wouldn't have to deal with setting up offices, staff, pressure from local politicians to hire locals around the world.

Companies hiring more in cheap labor countries is quite obvious for long time. In case of Amazon I feel most of the stuff that was cutting edge 2 decades back is now low value work where cost is the only edge.

From my LinkedIn feed I feel those Nigerian princes of past are now Amazon L7 managers.

> At the end of the day, there'll still be a need for highly skilled technical experts, whatever that job looks like.

Well, this is kind of obvious right. Highly skilled people of next generation will do fine. The point is millions of highly skilled successful people of today could soon be below average category, jobless and can be called clueless, stuck in old ways who didn't simply see what is happening in the world.

And I am not blaming anyone. Despite seeing changes coming even I am not able to do much either. Just hilariously trying to do "cloud technology" courses which folks did decades back, made money and by now even forgot about it.

> Highly skilled people of next generation will do fine.

I would bet for the opposite. In a huge rush to optimization and job elimination, early career people suffer the most. However it also makes it impossible to switch careers, start from scratch, and etc.

In my experience, many highly experienced professionals are already below average. That's not to say they don't work hard, but if their solutions are on par or worse than what an LLM can produce, then they might see themselves out of a job if the LLM can work harder.

As another commenter said, we'll likely see a big change on the junior end, which will affect the more experienced hire pool as time goes on.

Well, where I work these two trends are merging. Enterprise bloat plus LLM bloat. And leadership is "excited" about how much more code / applications IT can deliver this year

They should be! I think this is going to be a pretty transformational couple years for IT. To be honest, I've spent a bunch of my career being kind of skeptical about IT (software developer chauvinism), and I think the rug is getting pulled out from under that mentality.
