Senior developer and Systems Architect types are going to be in major demand when all these magic AI projects start missing deliverables. The 'we can write everything with AI' CEOs are going to have major problems undoing the damage that AI slop will do to their codebases.

huh? you've just got to put in the new set of AIO keywords in your websitem. AI Optimized websites are the future, for when AI is doing all the purchasing. SEO is dead, long live AIO. Once you've done that, just sit back and watch the money flow. (mostly flow out, but is that just details)

I'm not sure that's how it works. I think you're going to discover that your dog just got their own human. ;-)

The great age of software development is in our future, when skilled engineers are in very high demand to clean up the mess that AI will create in our codebases over the next few years.

I'm not sure "rife" means what they want it to mean in this context.

seems boring though, everyone is doing it. it's not innovative at all.

we seem to do very well at having loads of different competing resources for the board design, software design, hardware integration... but almost nothing good on the challenges of fitting the results hardware solutions into something resembling a decent case.

Have you considered lining the walls in slate, letting doggo go wild, etching in the results permanently into the slate.. and selling them as modern art pieces ๐Ÿ˜

In the world of "its always DNS", if anyone is having network pain on the Swedish Issaquah Highlands wifi network . The DNS server is sporadically returning garbage SERVFAILs for valid domains.

better plan.. eat your ice cream now - rather than risk it melting in an extended power outage.

the duck animation timing might work better, if the flattening frames align with landing, and the crunching frames align with lifting off

well it does contain hydrogen and oxygen, both of which are very flammable..

so high chance that somebody is seeking funding for the water burning energy startup..
