From the article, AI coding is considered by the executives a full replacement for creating code.

The old way, and in use by some today, was to create code by hand, similar to writing a story. Your mind created it. Then add autocomplete, which most of the time saved on typing, but sometimes interrupts the train of thought.

Now, instead of creating, you get to assemble AI generated snippets, with what amounts to productivity quotas.

The worst part for the Dev and QA teams will come later, when the AI generated code stumbles on a gap, that the automated tests did not fine, and no one has actually read all of the related code. It might be like patching a twenty year old application; start with a lot of reading.

Maybe to the directors and up, AI coding is supposed to all the things that "Agile" is supposed to be, and more.

"I know this is modern Slashdot...", I wonder how many posts are by bots nowadays?

Interesting, details are of course in the bill, and then there are the committees to get a bill to the floor. To get on a committee, a senator or representative needs to bring in donations for their party. And then there is the chairperson, and the party.

The status of S.5497 is Introduced. S.5497

Who knows, maybe Hegseth thought it was a good idea too, and long overdue, and got it done without the political part.

"A trawl of job views and application data suggests jobseekers are looking abroad " is not the same as "US scientists flee abroad".

ECHO much?

Even more jobs than those, as each hopefully well paid employee needs housing, services, so on...

From the SUMMARY, not even the TFA, "Blue Origin's New Shepard ", not NASA's ship.

Yeah, "Anecdotal evidence from our members suggests that requests to remove books are increasing."

Click the bait

Over fifty countries opted to negotiate the tariffs, theirs and the US', which resulted in no new tariffs for ninety days.

Xi and the CCP want to continue their economic war with the USA.

The cure for cancer is like cold fusion, "Just a little more time and we will have it!". Maybe

So, an "American laptop computer manufacturer" outsourced their production, overseas, and now has a problem. Whoa!

Think of where "coder" pay would be, if not for outsourcing overseas. Or, how about working conditions and the length of work weeks. A couple decades ago, I looked at project work to help pay off unexpected bills. I quickly found out that my competition was not here in the USA, but overseas. There was no way to compete with someone working for less that $5 a day, a long day.

The trade "war" will be over soon, for those that will accept true free trade. They just need to eliminate their tariffs, and their subsidies. That was the offer from Trump at the 2018 G7 meeting, with no takers.

This time around, it is either free trade of bye bye bye.

WSJ paywall, though is available on Apple + too.

A friend was declared dead by SSA, three years ago. She is still alive today. SSA being sent incorrect data is not new.

The same is true for QSRs forcing usage of kiosks. They became break room vending machines.

From TFA, "Under the federal order, dairy farmers and those who handle raw milk intended for pasteurization must provide samples of the milk on request for testing for bird flu."
