Nothing to argue with there. I agree. Many companies will go out of business. Fortunately we’ll still have the llama3’s and mistral’s laying around that I can run locally. On the other hand cost justification is a difficult equation with many variables, so maybe it is or will be in some cases worth the cost. I’m just saying there is some merit.

I’m so baffled by this take. “Create a terraform module that implements two S3 buckets with cross-region bidirectional replication. Include standard module files like linting rules and enable precommit.” Could I write that? Yes. But does this provide an outstanding stub to start from? Also yes.

And beyond programming, it is otherwise having positive impact on science and medicine too. I mean, anybody who doesn’t see any merit has their head in the sand. That of course must be balanced with not falling for the hype, but the merits are very real.

Because in some eyes, infinite rapid growth is the only measure of success.

It implies no such thing. Aside from being tongue in cheek it meant only that it is more common for them to encounter touch screen interfaces than other traditional HID’s. Which is covered by a lot of data. It may well be that keyboard and mouse are better devices.

All I’m saying is if some kid was shown a rotary phone and said they didn’t know what it is, it would be a bit silly to be surprised by that.

That’s not an indictment of advertisement though, but a function of platforms encountered most commonly which has of course followed this trend.

It doesn’t really say much negative except that we’re old.
