  • It’s almost like he’s full of shit and he’s nothing but a snake oil salesman, eh.

    They’ve been talking about replacing software developers with automated/AI systems for a quarter of a century. Probably longer then that, in fact.

    We’re definitely closer to that than ever. But there’s still a huge step between some rando vibe coding a one page web app and developers augmenting their work with AI, and someone building a complex, business rule heavy, heavy load, scalable real world system. The chronic under-appreciation of engineering and design experience continues unabated.

    Anthropic, Open AI, etc? They will continue to hype their own products with outrageous claims. Because that’s what gets them more VC money. Grifters gonna grift.






  • The argument that you shouldn’t get divorced as after a certain age is as absurd as the argument that an acrimonious couple should stay together “for the children” (when too often staying together just causes more trauma to the children).

    There’s no wrong age to divorce, because couples can drift apart at any time. And in fact, when they retire and end up spending more time together is often a point when the chances of divorce increase a lot.

    The only caution I’ll say is about finances. Make sure getting a divorce doesn’t catastrophically screw up your finances. But if you can split from your wife and be able to live comfortably then it sounds like divorce is a good option for you.
