You can make a few phone calls. Maintenance is not avoidable until boston dynamics figure out how to clean the toilets at least.

If you make 500k and aren't spending 250k in token, you should get fired.

I can't even tell whether this comment is serious or not.

Person who profits indirectly from AI token spend advocates AI token spend.

Nobody would invent something like that as a joke...

The "abuse" is that one doesn't have to copy paste for hours.

Before LLMs we could already see a growing abundance of half baked engineers only in for the good pay. Willing to work double time to pull things out.

Management, unsurprisingly deemed those precious. They could email them out anytime, working weekend to fix problems their kind were the cause. Sure sir.

They excel at communication. Perfecting the art.

Now LLMs are there to accelerate the trend.

You're at least describing someone who sounds hard-working... what's the problem?

I'd be more concerned if I was someone who signed up to play ping pong two hours a day and do a bi-weekly commit.

There was a time not so long ago where I was watching "a day in the life of a software engineer" videos on Youtube and I was wondering if some of these were parodies. I still remember one in particular which I'm pretty sure was a parody, but it was only marginally distinguishable from the others.

I do believe in hardship. As sacrifice. It yields long term benefits for oneself, and for society.

But submissions into slavery for immediate gain accomplishes little, and costs society a lot more (physical and mental health issues are a huge burden).

Those parodies you saw, they were caricature of elite engineers, who sacrificed decades of his life to become so competent. Can work from home, eat pasta while glancing over a PR and just hit approve.

That you resent the luxury doesn't make it undeserved privilege.

Working long hours due to incompetence is not a good thing.

It says a lot that most readers can't distinguish good writing from something an LLM spat out.

Ray Kroc's genius was to make people forget that you get what you pay for.

False equivalency. If you had the humility to run your own writing through an LLM first, it would have caught it. Just saying.

Not picking on you in particular, but most of the anti-AI crowd can’t present their case compellingly and have an utter lack of humility.

Weekly postmortem at this rate.

Such culture has become common in big tech.

Thanks for clarifying. The interesting thing is, confusion is due to finding not too hard to believe Anthropic is audacious enough to respond publicly and include a gif.

Git is decentralized by design. It can support federation, it just happens that GitHub solved the UI, issues, PR so that even new comer can come in and do git stuff and track issues on the screen. But centralized it.

Federation would be closer to git, but not so decentralized that when one node goes offline you may not have any upstream to pull from, or not be able to find them.

Git doesn't solve availability. Federation may solve it, by staying closer to the decentralized philosophy. That's my read.

Not sure I understand, you're talking about mirroring git repo data between multiple different nodes? That seems unrelated to what's proposed in the OP--maybe you're seeing something I'm not?

if I fork a repository to my forge, I expect my forge to have an independent copy of the repo

How does that fix "when one node goes offline you may not have any upstream to pull from"? You'd still have your own local copy—just like git—but you wouldn't be able to access any sense of "upstream"

By hosting a knot.

You may ask, well, that's like hosting forgejo or any other git server, where is the federation?

Tangled uses a protocol. So knots would adhere to that protocol allowing to pull from any upstream.

That's my understanding of federation. not saying tangled will go as far as figuring out discovery across their cloud hosted knots and self hosted infra. But that can be done, and claiming to be able to pulling from any repo with a single identy would imply just that.

Git adheres to the protocol which would allow you to pull from any upstream (that exists). Tangled does not change that.
