Comment Software Engineers jobs (Score 1) 115

It irks me that people who do not understand what a job is think AI can do it. A developer probably spends about 10% of their time actually writing code. Rest of the time is spent figuring what the users need/want, or modifying/debugging existing code.

The joke is "AI will replace developers, as soon as users are able to tell it exactly what they want."

Also, wasn't COBOL, the "english-like" language, supposed to make programmers obsolete?

IMHO we should create an AI to replace VCs and CEOs - should be much easier!

Comment Many Googlers want to work from the office (Score 1) 217

A large number of Googlers want to work from the office (I'm guessing 50%+). A separate group would like to be remote most of the time. Google actually lets people become fully remote (with potential pay cuts, related to your location).

Re: productivity - Google actually made tons of money while everyone was remote, so it's not clear that productivity was less.
