Comment Re:Software developers entered the chat (Score 1) 33

Maybe the mathies will enter our field and force the industry to factor out all the repetitious bloat found in current stacks. All that repetitious verbose shit just cannot be the pinnacle of software development, I'll bet my Vulcan wanker on it (a transplant). It might require new programming languages, but so be it! Or burning the damned DOM?

In USA, Aedes Aegypti is invasive and new, and it won't be missed. In most places in America, it's been here less than 30 years. Less than 5 years, where I live. I am confident that the ecology of 2026 is plenty compatible with the ecology of 2021.

If some obscure bird species that just moved in 5 years ago can't settle for eating the slower, bigger, less stealthy classical mosquito strains we'll have left, then it can fly back down to Central America where it recently came from.

"Cool a bit"? If the general truth about the subsidizing of prices gets out, we are looking at a big bubble burst at least as bad as the dot-com poppage.

Investor funds and market-share-fights have kept AI prices low or free, but of course that can't last forever. I suspect one prominent but stressed AI company will spill the beans about fake pricing ("we all do it!"), putting pressure on the rest to prove that claim is false, which they'll fail, spooking investors, ending the run, and triggering a recession.

All those job ads asking 7 years of experience in a product that's only been out 3 are real! Illegal pet-eating time-travelers are working multiple jobs in parallel using Flux Capacitors smuggled from Uyghur child labor camps in Jiiihna!

Seriously, though, I met a couple of coders who admitted they lie on their resumes about stack experience and even volunteered tips on how to fake it. Lying makes me even more nervous during interviews such that I prefer to avoid it. I don't have the calm and cool genes to pull it off, Sydney Sweeney got all those.
