Just FYI, finally in C++ you can add a top-level exception handler and call boost::stacktrace::from_current_exception (https://www.boost.org/releases/1.85.0/), and get a stack trace on exit as helpful as in Python or Java.
CEOs understands that AI offers potential productivity increases. Using that productivity boost to cut staff is an unimaginative approach. Bolder approaches include using that boost to exceed the expectations of current customers, or to increase sales without proportional increase in staff, etc.
> the hyperbole from the tech CEOs about them replacing all white collar workers in 12-18 months
Just keep in mind that you're likely hearing from a limited subset of all tech CEOs.
"CEO Expresses Moderate Confidence that AI Can Enable Modest Productivity Gains" is not an article that gets written, because it would not generate clicks.
Stellar Science | Hybrid (USA) Albuquerque NM, Washington DC (Tysons VA), Dayton OH | Full time, interns/co-ops | U.S. citizenship required | https://www.stellarscience.com
Company: We're a small scientific software development company that develops custom scientific and engineering analysis applications in domains including: space situational awareness (monitoring the locations, health and status of on-orbit satellites), image simulation, high power microwave systems, modeling and simulation, laser systems modeling, AI/ML including physics-informed neural networks (PINN), human body thermoregulation, computer vision and image processing, high performance computing (HPC), computer aided design (CAD), and more. All exciting applications and no CRUD. We emphasize high quality code and lightweight processes that free software engineers to be productive.
Experience: Except for interns, we currently require a Bachelors degree in physics, engineering, math, computer science, or a related field. Masters or PhD is a plus. (Roughly 25% of our staff have PhDs.)
Technologies: Lots of C++23, Qt 6.9, CMake, git, OpenGL, CUDA, Boost, Jenkins. Windows and Linux, msvc/gcc/clang/clangcl. AI/ML and analysis projects use Python and C++. Web projects use Java and Typescript/React. We're a bit behind the curve on developer AI adoption, and we're okay with that.

98% of the time those lengthy messages are useless, but the other 2% of the time they're critical to tracking down the problem.
A year or two ago Visual Studio added a pop-up that parses such lengthy compiler messages into a clickable tree list. I found it annoying at first, until I discovered I could dock it to the side, ignore it 98% of the time, but still go look at the details when relevant. This is an idea other compilers should copy.
Maybe ships should copy this approach too: issue fewer warnings, but provide a list of warning details for review when necessary.
Slow growth is awesome! Slow growth gives you time to address the challenges of growth, and think through sensible solutions.
Rapid growth feels like you're constantly plugging holes in the dike or putting out fires.
Like you I've had brief moments of jealously seeing a company that started after mine and grew faster. But when I think rationally, I just wish them well, and realize I'm happy with any pace of growth that's not negative.
