I guess Antigravity (the IDE) has no problems with Googles Antigravity to remote control my browser and solve most CaptChas for me.

Yesterday I had a funny CaptCha failure, had to repeat it like 5 times. The items it wanted me to click simply were not as often in the pictures as "the algorithm" thought there should be.

Took ten minutes to finally get through ...

Most people who make this mistake, make it by accident.
I am the only one here doing it by intention to piss off aholes like you. :D

Most spelling mistakes are: typing mistakes!

And like everyone who learn "whole word reading": we do not see the mistake when we reread what we have typed. Because we know what we typed ... ooops. It is difficult enough to realize a whole word is missing. Because since I had covid: I make that mistake often. Either the verb or the noun is not there, and I only realize it after 10 times.

Also while your explanation is correct: it is not logical. So: people either don't graps it or do not remember it.

"it's" (with an apostrophe) is a contraction of "it is". "its" is the possessive pronoun, which was intended here.

The apostrophes 's is in general an indication of possession. Examples: This is Tom's bike. This is Anna's dress.
It is completely logical to assume for a non native Englisch Speakern that "it's" is the possessive pronoun.

Hope that helps to soften your futures wrath :P

I got on with a company that produced polysilicon for solar panels, but it couldn't compete with China.
I guess it is a little bit more complicated than "could not compete with China".
For example notice the price changes and the delay in building factories and getting the factories to the relevant purity levels:

And of course learn to code just died a spectacular death.
If that was one of the stupid mantras "everyone should code", then it deserved it.
Real Computer Scientists will always be needed, no worries about that.

The assumption that LLMs can give you "high quality" code reviews is not supported by evidence.
It is.
You just do not read the reports, so you do not know about it.

That is the problem with so many of your posts. About stuff you have no knowledge about, you claim it does not exist. That is a silly attitude.

A lot of Agile managers use velocity as a proxy to make up for the fact they can't look at code and understand it. So get a lot of story points.

That is a silly interpretation.

a) stories are estimated independently
b) so the stories "Invite to be my friend", and "invite to my group" - have the same amount of (complexity) points, same for the complementing stories like "Request to join your group" and "sent friend request"

Obviously when any of those four stories is implemented, aka the DB is done, the service and its API and what ever frontend you have: the other 3 stories are trivial. Because invite/request are just complementary operations where sender and receiver change sides. And weather the receiver is a person or a group does not matter.
So: if the later implemented stories have the same story points, you obviously do more points in your sprint. If you do not make more points in your sprint, then you do not have a sound architecture. Your team is to uneducated to realize that all four stories are the same, only the text in the UI and the direction of the request/invite is different.

In other words, the more stories you realize, the more often there should be options to reuse existing code. Probably some existing code has to be refactored to make it reusable.

So, if you do not gain velocity: your team is not good. Figure out what they do wrong.

P.S. agile teams usually have no manager ... there is nothing to manage.

Most people do not know about BCC, so in normal posts like this one, I write CC. But perhaps I should in future write (B)CC.

Yes, you could use an alternate event management platform. Now, how to get the user to hop over there?

They are all on facebook already. And if I hear about an event, my friends might be interested in: I just share it. And that is it.

And if you are one of my friends, and facebook thinks you might be interested, it pops up in your feed. And then if you share it, people I do not know about: your friends, see the share.

Most certainly easier to have under "control" than eMail lists.

They do.

as everyone can join the party and vote about everything.

You can can only vote about a topic inside a party, and for some odd reason the other party nearly always takes the opposite stance.

In China you vote, and the topic is settled, and it is mandatory for the parliament to draft laws according to vote.

The whole thing how feeds work should be changed.
It is basically to random.

And the new idiocy of facebook, it puts two buttons under some posts: "are you interested?" "not interested?"
Why the fark do I follow that person? Yes I am interested!

On the other hand dozens of posts of my friends never pop up in my feed. For what do I have friends, if I do not see their posts?

Well, problematic it is in "niche industries", where only a few players dominate the market.
For example Zeiss or ASLM. Zeiss started to use AI pretty extensive since a few month.
Their mantra is: they can now find solutions in their data, which they could not find before. Which helps them to create products which they could not do before. And for the ideas about those products they need the workers they already have. Especially in Germany lay offs are unlikely. Will they hire more "specialists", for creating new products? I don't know.

ASLM, I have no idea what they could do with AI ... my point of thinking is: could they produce more machines? Where would be the point where a layoff of people is likely? Obviously if you can not expand your production capacity, then at some point fewer people with AI usage would make lots (perhaps half?) of the current workers obsolet. OTOH, if they simple can increase production (or research) by 50% with the current work force, then AI would boost their business.

The mantra in the industry at the moment is: people who use AI (and are good at it) will replace people who do not use AI.

Well, after you jumped in, it has purpose.

As it clearly shows that more white women are in those areas than you have as percentage in the population.

Also: it is absolutely not racist to mention a race, for no purpose.
It is racist to be derogative about a race.

Also again: he simply quoted it from the original text ... so that was racist, too?
