The point is I don’t want my TV, my refrigerator, my toaster, my dishwasher, or my washing machine to be “smart” or to have any AI or internet connectivity.
These all have a very simple job to do, and there’s absolutely zero value-add to the smart edge software nonsense.
Yep. When I had to fill CO2 tanks at a paintball shop yes there were times that I had to open a door (I mean we were talking a lot of fills in short time, btw fills had to start with draining the tank's existing volume so I could zero out the scale) but even indoors a door+fan was enough to keep even the nastiest of sale days OSHA compliant.
Also a 'puncture' is very different from the gasbag mysteriously vanishing from existence; My only other thought is that in cold regions (I saw wisconsin mentioned in the article) CO2 does not diffuse quite as fast and sometimes visibly so...
I’m a senior engineer on a staff track, I am proud to ask “dumb” questions all the time, and I don’t want to work somewhere where I don’t feel safe pursuing knowledge openly and candidly.
There’s a nugget of an idea in there, even if I disagree with most of it.
But code doesn’t only need to be understood for maintenance purposes: code is documentation for business processes. It’s a thing that needs to be understandable and explainable by humans anytime the business process is important.
LLMs can never / should never replace verifiability, liability, or value judgment.
Agree with your point. It's going to be super interesting to see whether languages become more lower or higher on the stack. My guess is unuseful: both.
We've not really seen what impact this will have just yet.
I don't understand the point? You can say that about anything, and that's the whole reason why it's good that alternatives exist.
The clear target of this project is a k8s-like experience for people who are already familiar with Docker and docker compose but don't want to spend the energy to learn a whole new thing for low stakes deployments.
