And if we lowered the speed we would also lower the noise.

I'm about 40 and am usually grouped as a millennial (at least for the common purpose of blame, e.g. killing cinemas), though I somehow missed Baldur's Gate; played the hell out of the Ultima series though!

> Aren’t game programmers just using something like unity and writing scripts?

Hahaha wow. It’s like saying:

“Aren’t web programmers just using something like chrome and writing scripts?”

Neh... web programming is not going anywhere. Sure, the current environment is exposing all of the companies that never really had a business model other than raising more and more money. But there's still plenty of space for software to grow within existing profitable companies and new companies that can be more capital efficient.

He claims you can strip out some of the inefficiency which is related to interoperating software... that's not going anywhere. There will alwyas be walled gardens or code that breaks. Maybe that'll even increase. And even though what AI can already do is incredible, I think it'll take a long time before it can build and maintain large scale projects. In the meantime, it'll certainly make developers more efficient, but so have countless other tools.

That said, I think that remote workers are going to have a reckoning. If i'm hiring for people to be in the office, then i have a much smaller pool, replacing people is tougher, etc. But once I'm opening the doors to remote work, why not do so in a country with a much lower cost of living? I see people on HN constantly talking about how to succeed remotely, you need to be able to work in an async environment, etc. Well guess who loves the idea of an async environment? Upper managers who see ballooning payrolls and realize that an async/remote workplace doesn't need to consist of people in high cost countries.

Because it is instrumental to solving to climate change. The better question is why are people unwilling to take the problem seriously?

Your understanding is the result of years of FUD against it. People really need to understand that they have been lied to repeatedly on this subject. If you have a basic grasp of engineering, you should understanding that it is literally made by running electricity through water. It is an incredible simple idea that you can even do at home. And since hydrogen is already being used in a vast number of industrial and chemical processes, it should be clear that there could not be any fundamental technical challenges that haven’t been solved.
