I'm 61 and a laid-off IT Project Manager. I'm looking at going into other areas, and interviewed for a position managing facilities upgrade and construction projects.

My fallback (and it's looking more likely) is that I take early retirement and work as a security guard. I'm in a fortunate position in that my house is paid off and my adult kids live with us and are able to help with the bills.

Neither of my kids work in technology. One is in HVAC and the other is in the mental health field.

The more I think about it, the better I feel about my future. I've done the best I could.

The pun is that Craigslist is an advertising site.

It was created and advertised as a site where people could place ads.

For many years people have placed and responded to many ads, which makes it an advertising site which works as advertised.

According to the story, he still had to pay for a second month of service before the phone was unlocked.

Still, keeping people informed about the sleazy tactics used by just about every large corporation out there is a good thing, so kudos to Mr. Roach.

Given that most of us have used solar powered calculators for decades now I'm rather surprised that someone hadn't done this before.

Feel free to mod this "Redundant." I won't be offended.

The reality is that authoritarianism requires fear.

It's difficult to sell the idea of a strong leader who will protect you when you already feel safe in your community.

The Trump regime runs on Fox News, OANN, and Newsmax continually stoking people's fear of those who are different.

If you're giving AI work that you said you would "give to junior engineers ready to move upward in their career," then what are those junior engineers supposed to do?

How are they to move upwards?

What is going to happen when you retire or become unable to work any more and there's nobody who you have helped move upward?

Or do you not care about the future?

I've said it before and I'll say it again.

Trust is being eroded everywhere in the United States. We've become a nation divided, and I'm not sure that anything can be done to remedy the situation.

As always, I hope to be proved wrong.

They have the right to put out whatever they wish.

I have the right to view or ignore as I wish (at least for now).

That said, I'm going to ignore this.

Nothing, until the customer (in this case, the current regime) decides that the company is no longer entitled to its moral judgement.

The increasingly heated bickering between "Team Red" and "Team Blue", along with the vitriol coming from various social media "pundits", has led to a deep distrust of anyone or anything outside of our trusted circles.

The words of Abraham Lincoln come to mind. The United States is a nation divided and unless that is remedied I'm not sure how much longer it will stand.

As always, I hope to be proved wrong.

The difference is that after several iterations, the junior developer will learn and eventually become a senior developer able to produce reasonable quality code on their own. Then your job can go from reviewing their work to solving new problems. That's also how the next generation of senior developers is created.

Yes, the AI tool will look like it's learning too. What happens when you leave for one reason or another? Will there be anyone to take your place reviewing and correcting PRs, or will they have to just trust the AI?

The first sentence should read;

America is becoming a nation of economic realists. WSJ reports:

Here's the definition of Fascism:

A far-right, authoritarian, and ultra-nationalist political ideology. Fascism is characterized by a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, belief in a natural social hierarchy, subordination of individual interests for the perceived interest of the nation or race, and strong regimentation of society and the economy.

Which parts do not describe the current occupant of the White House?

Doing away with fascism is good.

Reverting back to oligarchy is only setting the stage for fascism's return.

We can't just relieve the symptoms. We have to remove the underlying disease, which in this case is the rampant corruption that has been infecting the United States for generations.

If the money is going to Neo-liberals like Hakeem Jeffries, Elizabeth Warren, or Nancy Pelosi, then it's going to be wasted. They're simply trying to bring the United States back from Fascism to its former state of Oligarchy.

Once this is over (and it will be over one way or another), I think that the entire structure of governance in the United States (or the remnants of it) needs to be changed to remove this dark money corruption that has been a stain for far too long.
