Wenn jemand "Etwas auf dem Schirm hat", schenkt er einer Sache viel Beachtung bzw kontrolliert etwas genau. Die Redewendung geht auf den Beruf des Fluglotsen zurück. Diese benutzen Bildschirme um den Luftverkehr zu regeln
Research often derided for being a waste of money has led to world-changing breakthroughs, ranging from GPS to Ozempic.
Basically here is adequate meme:
@longLiveCarryOn
The non-engineers wait for their shares to vest, and then sell them, and move on to get more VC money for the next big thing in the next bubble while the whole time being smug about all the "sad engineers" being "stuck in the past" maintaining the app
@queenofnewyork @wbezs ID: a 3 panel comic.
The first is captioned "current situation" and shows sad developers next to a "pile of complexity (languages, toolchains, infra)" which feeds into an app on a phone.
The second is captioned "what people think AI will do" and shows happy non-engineers next to AI feeding into the previous pile of complexity (that no longer matters) and then an app on a phone
The final, heart breaking frame shows sad engineers next to a "New pile of complexity, AI pipelines, temples etc)" which feeds into AI... but this time, behind the AI is the "old pile of complexity" feeding a the phone app, only this time the old pile of complexity has even more sad engineers around it
@queenofnewyork @wbezs The only way out is to find a pile of garbage that you like, and stand next to it until you stop needing a job ...
