1. US school funding is based on property taxes. It should be one big bucket per state and doled out based on need not whose land is worth the most. 2. Tech shouldnâ(TM)t be in primary schools. If your kids leave primary school illiterate and unable to do basic maths, no tech can help them overcome it. High school is where some tech belongs. 3. Cellphones should be outright banned for anyone under 16. Theyâ(TM)re causing more harm than anything else.

Actually no, we verify and test before sending it in for review. I don't have commit privileges on the master tree so I work with the maintainer and implement anything they ask for. The Wayland transition is killing a lot of open source projects because there aren't that many people that know the graphics layer. There are more devs that know X11 than Wayland and a lot of people are aging out and don't want to relearn graphics all over again.

Comment GNUstep Wayland backend has AI Generated OpenGL (Score 1) 62

I looked at the GNUstep Wayland backend which is missing tons of features vs X11, then I got Claude to implement the missing features and broke them up by feature into pull requests which are being verified and merged into main. It's a small team and the progress we're making would have taken years if it was done the old way. Not all AI is useless slop but people need to take the review and submission process seriously.

AI probably shouldn't be used outside of hobbies. I've been using it for a few months now. It's let me do things which I could never do as a mediocre programmer/someone who struggles with advanced Algebra. But, I would never want to / or claim to be a software developer in a job. I've used it to add VR support to some games. Perfectly fine as a fun hobby, but there's no way I could support these programs/codebases as a paid job. I still hit issues where AI just stops working/doesn't understand certain problems and can't fix those problems. Sometimes you have to scrap an entire codebase and start again to get the output right. It's powerful but I wouldn't use this in my job.

What did they expect would happen? This is why Channel Partner discounts exist. This is why TAC is offshored so they can hire foreign workers in and lock out the locals. Same thing is happening in Australia. TAC went offshore to Bangalore and China and now we have a desperate "Skills shortage" and are running infinity migration. Corporate HR loves it. They pick up any women they can get their hands on and then trumpet about how diverse they are while the locals get worthless uni degrees and $40,000 debt. In Australia at least you should ditch IT and go pick up a trade. CFMEU tradies are on $180,000/year+ way more than 90% of IT workers.
