> To fix this bug, I need to understand the code.

Almost every day on this site for the past few months has been an instance of Mugatu's "I feel like I'm taking crazy pills!" moment.

I’m scared for what happens ten years from now when none of the junior folk ever learned to write code themselves and now think they are senior engineers…

Ten years? They'll be staff, obviously. Three years of experience is senior now, did you get that memo?

I remember as a kid we had a whole bookcase of those small cassettes for the family camcorder. I always loved getting to put the tiny one into the full-sized VHS, felt like magic that it actually worked when you popped it into the VCR.

All that said, I'm very keen on companies telling me how much of their codebase was written by AI.

I just won't use that information in quite the excitable, optimistic way they offer it.

"...just raised a $20M Series B and are looking to expand the team and products offered. We are fully bought-in to generative AI — over 40% of our codebase is built and maintained by AI, and we expect this number to continue to grow as the tech evolves and the space matures."

"What does your availability over the next couple of weeks look like to chat about this opportunity?"

> Garman is also not keen on another idea about AI – measuring its value by what percentage of code it contributes at an organization.

You really want to believe, maybe even need to believe, that anyone who comes up with this idea in their head has never written a single line of code in their life.

It is on its face absurd. And yet I don't doubt for a second that Garman et al. have to fend off legions of hacks who froth at the mouth over this kind of thing.

> The U.K.’s fragile fiscal situation is back in focus as yields on long-term government bonds surged, topping their U.S. counterparts for the first time this century.

But the chart appears to show the black line above the red line quite a few times since 2000? Am I reading it wrong?

No. You're exposing poor reportage and sloppy editing. CoinDesk isn't exactly Bloomberg.

good thing we all got con'd into buying electric stovetops a few years ago :)

An Energy Star certified electric range will consume around 200 kWh per year. Even at California-level rates it’d be less than $10 a month to power it.

And induction, which of course is electric as well, would be cheaper still.
