AI isn't a technology that replaces programmers, it's a technology that replaces generic human beings. The manager of your agents will be an agent, too.
Why average? I've always taken pride in my work and developed things that went beyond the expectations of the management and of the final users. Now I'm using LLMs a lot and I've been able to do much more than I used to- I find them great coworkers, technically very knowledgeable, patient and fast. I provide the big picture, keep an eye on the architectural soundness and code quality, and design the features. The LLM does the rest. The results are way above average.
Just want to add this is my experience as well. Just solid coworkers. Of course they mess up sometimes, but easier to fix up than with humans and their politic and egos. I find I can actually reason for once instead of always fighting and deferring to whomever has The Biggest Opinion and not rarely just the loudest voice.
I think many people here work at nice, large places with reasonable and knowledgeable colleagues that are cooperative and mostly rational and try to do the right thing. In my experience that is not a common or widespread thing. Of course I only have small to medium business experience, but that's still a pretty good chunk of the economy. LLMs are an absurd, ridiculous win in those kinds of environments.
Good to make clear that REST was a silly idea that was mostly ignored by everyone.
> A REST API must not define fixed resource names or hierarchies (an obvious coupling of client and server). [...] Instead, allow servers to instruct clients on how to construct appropriate URIs, such as is done in HTML forms and URI templates, by defining those instructions within media types and link relations.
I still don't understand how this was ever supposed to work. In order to follow a links path, you need advance knowledge of exactly what links are offered and where. This is exactly identical to defining a fixed resource name or hierarchy.
It's simply impossible to stop. The incentives to go ahead are immense at every level- from the state/ military level, to the economy/ business, science and technology, entertainment, down to the personal level. You can't discover something like this and decide not to use it.
Besides the fact that this is most probably state-sponsored disinformation intended to scuttle the peace talks, I don't see how providing Iran with defensive weapons (as the article details) would be "a provocative move". Aren't the US rearming as well in the same timeframe? Isn't Israel? And they're even the illegal attackers.
Israel bombed an apartment building in Beirut and killed a kid from a message board I posted on at the time. Haven't liked Israel since. I was young and didn't really have an opinion on Israel until then.
Killed isn't a strong enough word. I should have said, "2006 was when I learned that IDF indiscriminately murders humans who are just trying to live their lives, and many of those humans are children."
Yes, it's called MAD. It doesn't work for very large groups with many unstable individuals but seems to have worked so far for the small group of nations.
