He has a black friend too.Ah, he’s worked with several engineers so he knows what they do 😂
The biggest challenge now is making sure those benefits are distributed more widely than they have been since the early 80s.It is literally how we have escaped the Malthusian paradox - improvements in efficiency largely driven by specialization.
Correct. It’s a social problem, not a tech problem.The biggest challenge now is making sure those benefits are distributed more widely than they have been since the early 80s.
This 100%Agentic coding is awesome, you are simply delegating junior tasks left and right and it's like having a team of 10 eager employees just going at it.
However it stops at 80-90%.. And it's not just me, this is the ceiling that everybody encounters who hast taken the jump. There is just a limit to the contextual awareness and sense for the mission that it will just not go above.
So the trick for a developer is to know where to take the reigns .. At some point you reach that inflection point where you are spending more time prompting your way out of something than it would take to actually do it yourself.
And that means you need to understand all the rest of the 80-90% that has been generated for you ... If you dont, you wont be able to glue the shit together.
So I wonder if it's the same threshold for other white collar jobs? And at what percentage is it good enough and how do you error correct in those fields?
I couldn't keep up with all the work I was offered before I retired.So white collar isnt a respectable living, good to know.
Wonder if you had the same attitude while automation and offshoring decimated blue collar jobs in the US.
The issue is more about refining tasks down so an absolute minimum of training is required. The goal is to have a "trade" where the basics can be taught in a few weeks and requires 7 or fewer tools.Hell I wish more people were in the trades, I think the benefit would be two fold: more choice and better options and lower overall costs. As it stands now, most of the time I can do a better job than most tradesman and for a lot cheaper. Factor in quality and time and it’s still not worth it, imo. All the actual skilled tradesmen have retired and it doesn’t appear that they passed down their knowledge.

Right now handymen are asking and getting $100 an hour in many places. That's what you call a living wage.
This is the elitism that you and other conservatives pretend to get offended by.They'll have plenty of money, they'll just have to sweat for it. Instead of marketing, SEO optimization, and app's to track your toenail trimming schedule, we'll have plumbers, electricians, carpenters, and painters. The nation will once again be populated by capable men and women doing the jobs that made America great.
I can smell the sawdust already!
Yep, there will always be a job for a janitor.
From my experience, there's more blue collar jobs that stop at 80-90% than white collar ones. Cough.Agentic coding is awesome, you are simply delegating junior tasks left and right and it's like having a team of 10 eager employees just going at it.

Its going to be psychopaths new best friend, they gonna run it through the de-psycho prompt before they press send.My boss has ChatGPT to write his emails. They are so cringe. But still better than when he writes them in his own
Likely already there, summering on a yacht or threeIt is great news as industries use the efficiencies realized by LLM\AI to increase automation resulting in the ability to suppress wages and reset the US job market.
From and environmental standpoint, wage adjustment reduces consumerism and the waste it creates.
Unfortunately, the underclass, deflation new social structures it's going to create wont be pretty.
However, as one has noted in this thread the promise of an uneducated worker class will enable oligarchs to more effectively control society for the good of its own people.
If shit hits the fan, they can always go to Bangkok or some resort in Cambodia
