I met that guy during a gsoc mentor summit and it inspired me, out of spite, to never install VLC on any device I own

The problem with zed's narrative is that because he failed to use it in productive ways he wants to dial it back altogether but its not clear what he has actually attempted and people dogpiling here reminds me of artists who are hostile to AI tools, it doesn't accurately reflect the true state of the marketplace which actually puts a lot of value on successful LLM/AI tool use especially in the context of software development.

If you extrapolate this blog then we shouldn't be having so much success with LLMs, we shouldn't be able to ship product with fewer people, and we should be hiring junior developers.

But the truth of the matter is, especially for folks that work on agents focusing on software development is that we can see a huge tidal shift happening in ways similar to artists, photographers, translators and copywriters have experienced.

The blog sells the idea that LLM is not productive and needs to be dialed down does not tell the whole story. This does not mean I am saying LLM should be used in all scenarios, there are clearly situations where it might not be desirable, but overall the productivity hinderance narrative I repeatedly see on HN isn't convincing and I suspect is highly biased.

It is nice to see tasteful and profitable disagreement in place of simple drama. It's a credit to all parties.

I’m from India, planning to move to US on L1 as an IC. I want to get green card in 3-5 years or get out of the country. If I get green card, I want to look at bringing my parents permanently to US.

As someone without any research papers, any significant industry presence, how difficult will it be to get an EB1 green card if I start chipping at requirements now?

How doable is getting parents within next 5-7 years?

BIG 4 = EY, Deloitte, KPMG, PwC?

Top tier consulting firms are: McKinsey, BCG, Bain

In some cases the customer is just looking to put a veneer on a decision they already made. The big 4 name is what they're deliberately paying for.

Since "senior" is in quotes, I am guessing you probably come out of undergrad with a senior title or get it after 1-2 years.
