The real problem will happen is when nearly all companies mandate RTO, then all these digital nomads will be required to actually show up - and probably for less money they were making before had they sucked it up and kept their jobs instead of quitting.

Comment Not a replacement, but a tool (Score 1) 150

Many fields are grappling with the question, "will AI take my job?"

I think a more reasonable response is one I've seen in, for example, the medical profession:

"Langlotz concluded that “Will A.I. replace radiologists?” is “the wrong question.” Instead, he wrote, “The right answer is: Radiologists who use A.I. will replace radiologists who don’t.”"

The same is probably true for software engineers. We can't just hand over the whole task to a machine, but we can definitely get some productivity boosts by having code assistants handy to generate starting point code and same a lot of time.

Comment Re:Now you can do "ls -al" in windows (Score 3, Informative) 101

powershell scripting is overly verbose. in PS you can do "cat (Get-PSReadLineOption).HistorySavePath" whereas linux it's just "history". This is one of DOZENS of ridiculously long commands that should, by default, have a more succinct alias to it. Sure you can create your own aliases but you shouldn't have to manage a dotfile config you pull from github or something.
