Absolutely, much harder to describe what I want the software to do in English than logical programming language, and then add to that the time taken to understand the code and make sure it does what was intended. Perhaps the worst part, takes the joy out of it all.

Yep, I am surprised by this whole vibe coding phenomenon. I find it imprecise, and I have to very carefully translate what I want into English, a very imprecise language with a lot of nuance. Either I spend a lot of time coming up with a good prompt, or I iterate with the AI (both of which I find take away from the joy of programming). I joke that we need some sort of logical language which we can write for the computer to understand...
I do like AI as a tool, it's great at a lot of things, but it not the panacea that so many believe, especially CEOs unfortunately.
and plywood is probably the material of choice for cabinet boxes, straight, strong, not prone to warping, etc. Actually, seems crazy to use nice wood where it won't be seen.
Most importantly it's dimensionally stable. As the seasons change it won't get significantly longer in one dimension. This is most important for the back of the cabinet because it has to deal with grain going different directions, so you can't pick an orientation that will just work.
Elimination of the incentives is the correct solution, yet solving the problem correctly is often harder and more time consuming than just saying you solved it. These raids are public and chaotic and easy, and then you can just claim to have solved the problem, which works just fine for them. You see, politically, the incentives are not to solve the problem because we believe the lies they tell.
It's not even just the "incentives", but rather the main issue that people have a legitimate problem with - depression of the labor market. Regardless of the viciousness signalling, Trump always backs down when posturing meets reality - he was certainly bound to do so on an issue directly affecting his business empire! His only real skill is being a really good con artist. He is not even good at running businesses, hence the simplistic fascism of just ordering people around.
And so, if you actually care about addressing illegal immigration, or any other issue that requires a competent government, then Trump has been a step backwards for you regardless of how you may feel. Your first step is now admitting your mistake and working to get rid of Trump, alongside every other American.
I agree with you, while it is complicated, news organizations should and are reporting the facts (we are discussing them here). I think some people in "media" are probably using hot-button adjectives to get at Trump, and to his discredit it seems to be working.
Dang hello, me too. I recently became tech lead at our fintech co, and the few days a month I get to code is like vacation for my mind. I still remember the good ol' days where nobody talked to me and I solved problems all day long.
Yea, it's really the opposite of the stated desired effect, small businesses will go under or not even start, while Target and Walmart afforded to pre-stock their warehouses to ride the wave as best they can. Amazon already informed suppliers they "won't be accepting price increases". So we will all just be working for the big box stores and nobody will be living the American Dream of starting their own company.
And, since this is all really just chaos without a plan, what happens when replacement suppliers don't spring up all over the USA?
You kind of saw this with Brexit as well; it was marketed by its proponents as somehow helping small businesses, but of course in the end it hurt or killed them; its impacts on the likes of Amazon, while not nothing, were more muted.
(Brexit, mind you, was on most dimensions not as a severe as the Trump tariffs; it's really going to be very ugly a few months down the line if they're maintained.)
2 years ago my eFile was rejected because one of my dependents was already claimed. I have 3 dependents, and they offered no way for me to figure out what happened. The internet told me to file a fraud claim with the government and send that to the IRS, which I did and received no response. I had to print and send my taxes that year. They cashed my check immediately, and about 9 months later I was able to log in and see that I owed 0. That was it. I suspect they did nothing, but future returns were eFiled just fine.
