From 2020 to 2022, I've encouraged a steady stream of students to pursue their education in computer science. Tech companies were hiring like crazy. I would interview 3 candidates a week on some occasions. The future of tech seemed to be paved with gold. Any day now, several of…

Productivity
I'd say in a given week I probably only do about fifteen minutes of real, actual, work. — Office Space I was watching a video where a guy said he has 8 agents working in the background. He was stressed out and was trying to "get shit done." At one point he said "I have no time…

Can they write a function?

It's Not Just True, It's False
We’ve given in to using LLMs for writing at work. From emails and Slack comments to full-on documentation, everything is AI-generated. However, I’ve realized it only ever saves me time when I’m being lazy. That is, it’s great at converting meetings into transcripts, summarizing…
