  • Staff Engineer here. Our CTO told us in March two things. One, if we didn’t get on board with AI then we would be unemployable in 3 months and two, we had to use AI for everything. Literally everything. I asked (as a senior engineer of 19 years) if that included simple bug fixes I see that take minutes vs 30+ describing the problem. The answer was “absolutely”. Our budget is $400K /month to Anthropic and we exceeded that 3 weeks into May

    Update on this: those people who didn’t incorporate it into their workflow have been let go. Last night they released 1/6th of the staff.



  • Where does your 10% come from? Of those that voted, he got 49%ish of the vote. Those that didn’t vote effectively made the statement they didn’t care one way or another.

    Looking at it another way, the GOP controls both sides of Congress. One of those sides is the House of Representatives because they represent you. In all this nonsense, in whatever that “state of the union/campaign” was, those “representatives” cheered and voted with him. By extension, the people they represent.

    Whether we want to admit it or not, it is far closer to half the country then 10%. If nothing else, it’s half the country that felt like having a say.
