@jonshell

I share your dismay that ease of #replacement / #recycling was not "baked in" from the beginning with modern EVs. Another "duh!" moment by corps who do not care about such things.🙄

On a brighter note... search for California using old #EV #batteries for off-peak power storage.

My understanding is what we see as "the battery" in an EV is often a bunch of smaller cells. When the whole battery goes bad, it is often limited to a single cell. The remaining cells can be redeployed into new power storage roles. Throwing away the entire multi-cell battery seldom makes sense.

Car companies would rather you throw the entire thing away and replace for big $$$. Like changing the entire turn signal "module" $$$ instead of just the lightbulb $. You know the drill! 😡

👨‍💻💥 Oh no, the wizards of code are being replaced by the all-knowing #AI overlords! Turns out, it's not the quirky incantations of C++ that are at risk, but our fragile egos. 🤖🎩 Maybe the real magic was the friends we made along the way (or the #bugs we introduced). 🌟🖥️

Why Do They Want To Get Rid of Software Engineers?

The push to replace software engineers isn't always a technical prediction. Sometimes it's a reaction to the leverage we hold.
