I was told I have to adopt agentic AI or I can’t be promised to stay around for too long.

Meanwhile I’m catching all the slop the other devs submit.

I don’t get it. This is will destroy people already bad at coding in the long run, then people like me who really don’t want to implement an agentic (whatever that is) but find all the flaws in the PR, get burned in the long run.

As if MS would use their own Microslop.

Not to mention that many organizations have been making agreements with anthropic before this all happened. Sure DoD has money, but not nearly the large amount of private sector money.

The collapse of this bubble is going to be enormous though.

Why?

Oh. Wow. So we are the superior English? Fascinating.

Ok let me cook.

JFC I hate it.

But it’s so cursed I want it

Majority of ML/Software Engineers report zero CEOs listened to them about it.

Fuck if I know. The rich people are really evil.

Yeah I’m almost certain that is exactly what is happening

So I did the math. A 30 year fixed and a 50 year fixed have a monthly payment difference of $1.

What the absolute fuck.

Yay! I love to see it. I briefly looked into it this summer but then I got distracted and lost track

That’s actually a great point that I did overlook.

You know, this really has me pondering my projects architecture. We have tiers of services.

At the top, we have the UI. Then we have a “consumer” an “orchestra” and a “data” tier.

Data is the tier that exclusively talks to databases. Orchestra talks to the multiple data services. A good chunk of business logic is here. Consumer uses the orchestra and handles UI requests.

All it essentially does is split the monolith into 3 services at minimum. And since it’s on the cloud, there’s a start up cost where we need to spin up 3 machines instead of whatever you can do with microservices. What benefit do I get?

Oh. Well I’m not gonna be out that long.

I hope.

Uhoh. It really depends on how well I do and it is not well so far.

Hmm. Uhoh.

I’m out on FMLA. Am I even going to have a job when I get back?

Depending on the org you are donating to, you should be able to at least deduct it from your federal and depending on the state, state taxes as well.

I was able to donate what my parents were doing over 1.5 years in a single donation that way.

I got a couple of big bills to pay this month, but after that and my pay check another big chunk is going.

Could I use that money? Sure. But it’s a relatively small amount compared to rent/alimony and still leaves enough for me to be stable.

My bigger concern is how long it goes on. I haven’t calculated in increasing expenses.

I doubt this will lead to a punisher origin story. ICE does not go after anyone actually dangerous.

They have stayed out of most areas where cartels, gangs, etc operate. If ICE cuts into their money? Then shit gets weird.

I’ll bet they have picked up plenty of actual gang/cartel members, figured it out, and got them released. It’s not just the cartels that profit from the cartel business.
