Well 90% of my test code is AI generated, and we have a lot of tests. Also Cursor is really good at generating all my documentation. So depending on how we spin it, I could say at least half the code (often more if I'm spinning up new stuff it can do based off existing stuff) in my PR was AI generated.
That said, AI wasn't very good until it had enough examples and guidance from us on our codebase. After that though, it definitely helps.
Caveat: I'm no rocket scientist. It's not difficult code. It's just web services and whatnot. The code is often the least difficult part of my job.
I don't go camping. I have had exactly one thing in my life that I can recall that the zipper broke on it. I think it really depends on what people are buying, how rough they are with their clothing, and many other factors.
As a user, I love Spotify. I would never discover new music in my more esoteric genres without it, and I would definitely never own ALL the artists I listen to. I'm certainly not going back to having to rip my own mp3s; I don't even own the devices to do that. My car doesn't have a CD player. So whether it's licensed or owned, it's digital for me.
My tastes change too. I don't listen to all the same artists I did 5 years ago. I don't WANT to own my music. I won't even have the same tastes in another 5 years. Sure I have some stuff I still like, but for the most part, I get new thrills and ditch older ones.
I'm sorry the artists get screwed over, but this needs to be worked out between them and Spotify and whatever music labels are in the picture.
Let me know when Siri can do even the most basic things using natural language. It can't even properly answer things like "hey siri, is apple juice already on my shopping list" or answer most questions that require a web search. Summarize it for crying out loud, I asked you because I'm not right next to my screen to click search results.
THAT would make me take an upgrade. Until then, I'm just keeping this phone until it goes out of support.
This surprises me a lot. I spin up new react apps with vite often to replicate issues with 3rd party libs we use. Like how do they not know you can just spin something up over on CodePen or CodeSandbox and there's not a hint of a server side paradigm required? (sure, vite has a little server but you don't really need to know anything about it)
Some devs have worked exclusively in feature mills where expectations are rock bottom and some senior setups the project for them. When recruiters don't filter them, a basic React test has to.
Anecdata: my Dad, who is in his 70s, was doing an awful lot of basically doomscrolling his news feed and just reading headlines like, all day. He was cranky, irritable, and just plain getting meaner. My Mom had a talk with him and got him to dial that way back and he's definitely got a better attitude now. He's replaced that with some games and actual reading of dead trees (thanks, Bathroom Reader)
I'm a mature woman, older than most of my colleagues. And I do this. I have reached an age where I don't care if it sounds childish. If I'm grumpy, I say so. It has nothing to do (usually) with my colleagues, and I like them to know that if I seem snippy, it's me, not them. Sure we can all try to not be mean or rude or whatever, but everyone is human. My teammates are encouraged to also just be real people - if you're grumpy or tired or whatever, just say so.
I have to say that our team is amazing and all get on well together, so likely this vulnerability is easier on us because of that. The men on my team are just as quick to share their feelings too. It's really quite nice.
More anecdata; my orange boy also thought he was the family dog. He was rather dumb as a rock, but sweet as pie. Loved every human or animal he ever met.
My current cat is a calico and white and she's...emotional. =)
My next door neighbour was a ginger crossed with a persian. Let's just say there was a LOT of orange. The cat was very friendly to humans, and an absolute terror to foxes and any cat they didn't consider a neighbour.
