very good articulation on the problem. My bet is that it is probably fine in the sense that the mastery itself is not going to be relevant.

I want to view AI coding as invention of new coding tools, at least in the way you described. I (hope) it will be more like punch-card->assembly-> BASIC/C -> scripting language -> some sort of well-structured natural language.

Give Copilot a try, it completely shift coding experience in Rust. Especially this:

> I always have to search libraries and how to do things.

Once you pass the initial curve with crutch like Copilot, then you can be almost as productive (if not more, considering refactoring and testing) with your native first coding language

haha was thinking the same. The other day openAI's api hiccup gave me a small panic attack

Moat does not come from compile time but runtime. The company, the operation, and the accumulated data, the brand, the trust and the reputation.

There are technology moats as well, but for the most part, you're correct. Everything else usually matters much more.

you seem really uninformed about what is happening in this space. Just to name a few, incredible fast settlement with lending and yielding; Automatic Market Maker; Decentralized Exchange guaranteed with no wash trade, insolvency and max transparency, etc. Those defi projects are pretty much all killer apps. Hard to believe you have been in financial industry to not recognize those solid use cases and how they eliminate the middle man and premium paid for trust.

Curious on what is the general view of Indian population, twitter is full of trolls and paid campaign. From what I gather in chinese forum, I don't think any one believes China was the aggressive side, their most aggression is on getting Taiwan/ROC back.

It is funny to see on twitter some people accusing other side's aggression yet boasting about victory of getting further across LAC.

I think two important factors in play here, one is like what others said about better trust on the legal system in US to be relatively more independent; second I guess is just US market is too lucrative and significant to just let go.

I remember using this technique to get US content on Netflix while sitting in Canada

I think not manager but peers. They are mostly over achievers and somewhat competitive.

Is that because leadership rewards such behavior? I wonder if pressure would be the same If working 12hr days is discouraged and emphasis placed on collaboration and team delivery.

Leadership sets the tone and culture so it's always leadership's fault if culture is toxic.

haha very possible, but it is still quite shocking to me that my mom, who is almost 60, keep telling me how fun it is...
