It’s going to be a real adjustment for a lot of these people to grasp that young American men are in really difficult situations socially, academically, and that it’s a key factor to underemployment, violence, etc… the concept of men’s health or men suffering feels like an attack to these people instead of a separate legitimate issue to other social topics they find important

Society made religion optional through scientific inquiry. It can make America optional too as no theory of science suggests it’s existence is immutable law.

It’s going to be a real adjustment for you to accept a lot of people are without sufficient this or that in our society and you’re not really going to bat for them.

You have freedom to choose without coercion. Nothing makes your sensibilities sacrosanct to anyone else.

Do you intend to become elderly? Perhaps not so great news in 50 years when you are looking for a nursing home.

I wasn’t boosting past software. Doing so would be banal nostalgia.

I’m saying the doing matters, not the software; we throw it away and regenerate it all the time. It’s disposable ephemera.

It’s literally just the creative process that matters.

> Extensive dependency chain of brittle logic that needs tons of planning and preparation to update and manage is not unreasonable description for microservices architecture from an ops perspective.

I've seen monoliths that fit that description.

Once you've automated the deployment and configuration of load balancers, firewalls, caches, proxies, and have a DB with automatic failover, that is also sharded for performance, spreading the code out across a few machines is not the hard part.

Maybe it’s a bit literal but I see lots of people at computers planning updating just like I did 20 years ago.

From the IT workers context a lot has changed but the end user outputs are still; video game, chat app, email app, todo app, fintech app, dating app, state management DSL.

AI isn’t going to change the outputs so much as minimize the people and code needed to generate them. Because we’ve mined the value prop of desktops and phones to death.

Materials science, additive manufacturing, biology, are outputting actual net new knowledge. Consumer facing IT is whittling a log into a chair leg, grabbing a new log, whittling a chair leg… but faster!
