I get why I don't see anyone using a hand drill instead of a drilling machine, however, they have handed to the new generations a drilling machine that its usual output is a fist sized hole in the wall and at the same time, they hate drilling machines.

The technical deb they have introduced in their own companies to please their corporate overlords is abyssal and still they preach it like it is a cult.

The game is afoot... And it looks bad.

@[email protected] For the record, I work at a software company that employs ~10k developers. Before LLMs, I'd encounter such engineers a couple of times a month, but I interact with a lot of engineers, specifically the ones that need help or are new at the company or industry at large, so it's a selected sample. Even the most inexperienced ones are willing and able to learn with some guidance. After LLMs, there's been a significant uptick, and these new ones are grossly incompetent, incurious, impatient, and behave like addicts if their supply of tokens is at all interrupted. If they run out of prompt credits, its an emergency because _they claim they can't do any work at all_. They can't even explain the architecture of what they are making anymore, and can't even file tickets or send emails without an LLM writing it for them, and they certainly lack in any kind of reading comprehension. It's bleak and depressing, and makes me want to quit the industry altogether.

#GoatYoga

Wut?

animal-assisted therapy.

It includes 45 minutes of yoga followed by cuddling time (!) and selfies with over 50 goats.

There will also be food trucks, vendors and music.

$200 gets you a shirt signed by a trained goat (we assume they have very special hooves) and a photo "with your sponsored goat.
