I expect egovernment stuff will make this easier - i.e. the government app that ends up on everyone's phone (digital ID, healthcare etc) could prompt you to answer 1 question from time to time for a chance to win an Amazon voucher or something.
This is retarded.
1. It isn't for profit healthcare that is the problem, it's THIRD PARTY PAY.
2. I don't use third party pay, ever, for healthcare. I've been insured nonstop for over 30 years, and NEVER ONCE has my insurer paid my doctor.
3. Even when I've had emergencies, I still called around, negotiated a fair cash up front rate, paid cash up front, and billed it to my insurer. My cash up front rate was sometimes below any co-pay negotiated with my insurer, lol.
I just recently had some elective surgery that would have cost me about $2000 on my annual deductible, but I was able to cash pay a negotiated rate of $400 including a follow-up "free". I submitted the $400 to my insurer and they reimbursed me.
Third party insurance exists because YOU VOTERS demanded the HMO Act of the 1970s, which tied health care to employment, and then employers outsourced it to third parties.
Health care is remarkably cheap in the US (cash pay, negotiated) and I don't have to wait months to see a doctor when I call and say I am cash pay. They bump me up fast.
No, because experience isn't a protected category. Age is, but only in certain cases mostly dealing with existing employees. Youth isn't protected at all:
https://www.eeoc.gov/age-discr...
"The Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) forbids age discrimination against people who are age 40 or older. It does not protect workers under the age of 40, although some states have laws that protect younger workers from age discrimination. It is not illegal for an employer or other covered entity to favor an older worker over a younger one, even if both workers are age 40 or older."
This won't be about helping the driver, it'll be about monitoring them, and gathering data for AI.
Did they run the stop sign before the accident? Did they check the Amazon driver app 12 times per hour as contractually required? Does their gaze linger on men or women? What is the demography of the area they're driving through? etc
My alternative prediction: no IT work will be possible except in airgapped environments because AI malware will make having a device connected to the internet essentially impossible. Site visits will be a thing again.
It's really hard to know how much of this is because of AI, and how much of it is because of reduced skills due to COVID era education policies.

If all you know is a minimal subset of the language, you don't know the language. What you describe may be ok for a toy app you write on your own time and never need to support or put to serious use, but not for anything approaching actual development. What you describe is hacking, not developing.
And outside of a masters degree course somewhere, where has that ever been a thing? Formal proving of programs isn't something done anywhere. Even then its utility is dubious- "Beware of bugs in the above code; I have only proved it correct, not tried it." - Donald Knuth
I don't know what you were doing, but having to use reflection is generally considered a code smell, if not outright banned in most code bases. Generally its only accepted in serialization libraries. If that's what you got out of working in Java, it sounds more like you were doing it wrong.
In 45 years of living and eating at cheap restaurants, I've never had this problem when going to one in the United States. Or any other country where English was the native language. Why? Because they may hire non-english speakers in the back for kitchens, dishwasher, etc they make sure cashiers and waiters speak english, and they talk to the people in back. So it's an utter non-issue. It may have niche usecases in places with large international tourist crowds, but even then you generally need to tell speech recognition the input language for real time translation.
I'd like to see what an LLM does with his long, verbose prose with sentences that, considering the depth of his ideas, combined with examples and depending on the topic, take, if one is not interrupted or sidetrack by thought and able to focus, 3 minutes each to read. You'd dump core too!
Two wheels and a chain.Enshittified in this case mean disappearing up our own asshole if we need software for an exercise bike.
Nah.
Iâ(TM)m 51. Iâ(TM)ve had health insurance continuously for 35 years and have used it exactly ZERO TIMES.
I am self pay. For everything but true life threatening emergencies, which Iâ(TM)ve had zero.
Even the ER is cheaper when negotiated self pay.
My urologist is stunned that I pay $85 for his visits. Self pay. Including labs. My colleague goes to the same urologist and his insurance pays $550 for the same visit and naturally it comes out of his deductible lol.
Insurance is a scam. All insurance is legal gambling and gamblers never win.
Just as I hit post I recalled that the N1 was attempting hot staging and you can also see those lessons in SpaceX's latest booster design.
Can't wait to see them light that thing up again.
