...and shooting the other half in the back as they can't communicate.

As a long term LibDem voter, mainly because of PR, this is one of the few issues I disagree on.

Another elected house isn't desirable and I'm generally fine with it being a house full of experienced politicians and subject matter experts. I'd like to reform the appointment process to avoid the stuffing we've seen from Johnson and Truss. The Lords Spiritual should be ended as a group. I have no problem with community leaders being appointed, which may include religious leaders, but not as a fixed role in the house.

I see all of that as fairly minor reform. Not rip it up and start again.

Having binary blobs linked into your kernel is a maintainability nightmare. You're allowing a third party to link their buggy drivers into the heart of your platform. It breaks any security model you have, and brings with a bunch of bugs that are impossible to debug.

Nvidia were the worst offender and it culminated in this:

Trump said. “They ruin the environment, they kill the birds, they kill the whales.”

So it's not dogs and cats this time. Ok.

Investors are interested in projects that start making money quickly, and wind is pretty good at that over other power infrastructure. Trump is going to be fighting the free markets that he holds so dear.

I think you're underestimating how badly it taught them. I see a lot of developers (when interviewing) that are unable to reason about code.

Lot's of people learn how to cook by following recipes, but they don't try to get work in catering or running restaurants. That requires a different level of understanding.

SO was the coding recipe book. It was fine for hobbyists. Not professionals.

As a senior developer I have no idea how I'd get an AI to autonomously keep a small subsystem maintained. If I was replacing junior developers, that's what it has to do.

Everybody in my team gets to own something. What you own depends on your capability. You learn by doing. No dogsbodies doing busy work.

  1. If they were, do you think they'd say so? " Whoopsie! You got us."
  2. Why would they kill their own guy?

Honestly SO fuelled the rise of the cut and paste developer. I won't be that sad to see the end of it, and the LLMs that scraped it soon after.

Armies on paid personal generating content?

I see absolutely no problem with that.
