I’ve been in the industry a while too and in multiple countries in Europe. Before COVID there were even some visits to tech conferences. Only once did I meet a trans person (or so I think, they never corrected anybody on the pronouns).
This seems to be an internet thing, or at least the loud minority thing, but maybe I’m also just a recluse 🤷
Nobody’s really serious on a meme sub. Maybe check your humour meter. It must be broken.
Companies are already resisting because they can’t figure out a good way to interview people. “We tried nothing and are all out of ideas”. Hopefully more companies like Fuck Leetcode pop up to force a change in interview techniques.
I wouldn’t make such a prediction as there are many possibilities and people like hanging onto things. One possible outcome could be the introduction of UBI, which could allow people only pursue the jobs or activities the want. That could be upskilling to become a research, becoming a race car driver, or a streamer, starting a company using AI, traveling the world, helping out the elderly, and so much more. There would still be production and consumption with popular products making some companies richer than others, but it could lead to a happier populace within a capitalistic system.
Of course there are dystopian scenarios like cleansing of the unemployed, remigration of the homeless, forced labor, and so much more that could keep the capitalistic system alive.
Alright, but what is your point?
Adapt or die. Societies that do not adapt to these changes will not have a good time. It’s easy to ignore workers and just say “well, you’re replaced, now fuck off”. If the government doesn’t take care of them and keep them happy, it could easily have negative consequences for the government.
Imagine if 30% of the workforce were fired within 5 years and couldn’t get a job because AI did everything. Would 30% of the population just be happy going from something to homeless? How would the country absorb such a change? Governments can keep looking at the shiny money companies pay them to look the other way, but just because they ignore to see things doesn’t mean they aren’t happening. Either they are forward thinking and prepare or they will find themselves up a creek.

I think it’s a good attempt, but I’m not sure how it can be enforced. It would also need to be applicable to different jurisdictions. The project maintainer would have to know that somebody requesting a feature, commenting or participating in discussions is doing so in the name of the company 🤔
Thank you for sharing this. It’s food for thought.
C++ might not be as memory-safe as Rust, but let’s not pretend a Rust code base wouldn’t be riddled with raw pointers.
I’m curious. Why do you believe the last statement to be true?
If this is what it takes for people to understand what privacy is… This is why “I have nothing to hide” is bullshit. You might become the registered Dutch Jew the Nazis are seeking, and surveillance capitalism don’t just tell them where you live but also where you are this very moment.
Don’t be daft, protect your privacy.
nix solved this by modifying LD_LIBRARY_PATH to point to the desired dependency and/or modifying the binary itself.
“I had to reinstall” in 3… 2… 1…
And devs get an underpowered laptop with 16GB, an i5, and 128GB SSD, that cost less than a quarter of the product manager’s device, because they dared ask for a Linux laptop. It’s an update from a Chromebook, alright! But the business “cares” about excellence 😉
Keeping your data from Malus is harder than expected
Proprietary end-to-end encryption is a joke. Where is that key stored? Who has access to the key? What guarantees do you have that Malus doesn’t copy your key to their cloud?
Remember when worldwide all macs were slow because one of their servers had an issue?
Using a proprietary system for security and or privacy is for the feels only.
The joke is that there are some people who truly believe chatgpt is a better programmer than humans. It isn’t that programming.dev is chock full of beginners who seriously believe the same.
