But you might need that one tab you clicked 4 months ago for some unknown reason. It was obviously important. That's why you saved it. Definitely surely going to get to it one of these days ....

Got this last week. Showed my boss that of the 9 comments that GPT brought up, 8 were all the wrong code style for our codebase, nits, or refactors beyond the PR, and one was plain wrong. Not very productive.

Science and knowledge will be dominated by AI in X years. Robotics will be able to do most of the physical labor. The question really begins to be if the majority of people will see the benefits. But it can be a utopia.

AI can already do half my job as a software engineer. I'm not sure if it's going to be a net positive to me or even society long term
Knowledge workers definitely will find that AI will be able to do their jobs quite well and cheaply. The big question is whether robotics will take off.

Agreed. What better way to elevate humans to do left adjacent goals like the arts than to eliminate the average drudge work that prevents the proletariat from these frivolous tasks.

Things are dark. I expect they will get far darker still. The light may remain obscured for a decade—or more.
But, for the first time in months, I can feel the lingering presence of genuine optimism.

Oh sure, that's true. But each year at a 3% inflation rate you still gain 3k in original per 100k. So a 400k home you gained 12k in principal, the loan balance did not increase. Over time the loan balance is worth less in real terms. For most people even in a 30 year loan this is most significant.

I disagree that it's exactly like rent. You still have all the benefits of a fixed monthly payment (assuming no ARM fuckery) so you don't pay annual inflated rent cost of the land and home value itself. Even if you don't pay down much loan principal, the principal increases over time.

No kidding. Ran into an esoteric aws issue caused by the layers of aws bloat combined with a tech debt Jenkins script. No issues. I'll write a powershell script for you. An hour of debugging saved. Can't say it's always right but when it's right, it's literal magic.
