Junior Shift

The best AI agents are better now than a junior dev or infra person. I’d say that the highest-performing AIs now are about the equal of a dev with 2-4 years of experience and an infra person with 3-5 years of experience.

This fact is nuking those lower-level roles.

A lot easier. You basically have to recapitulate half of computer science to get a junior to do something sensible; no such problem with an AI.

I can now write PowerShell scripts a lot faster with AI help. But I already knew how to write PowerShell, so it’s a lot easier for me to prompt the AI and then I can use my prior knowledge to evaluate what the script will achieve, so I can be certain it won’t blow anything up. Juniors have no idea so AI just makes them worse and more dangerous because they both cannot prompt the AI correctly and are unable to determine what the results will do.

Having no junior to senior pipeline is going to be a huge issue in 10 or so years, though. Not sure what we’re going to do about that.

Not That Early

Early Windows versions (2001, 2006 and 2010).

LOL @ “early.” I first used Windows in 1986.

I came to Germany in 2016 to start my PhD. Germany then was a hotbed of scientific and engineering activity. And now in a span of 9 years I have had the incredible opportunity to witness a first world country on the cusp of becoming a great superpower systematically decimate… https://t.co/e11E0RHdI2

It’s a lot easier for a country to commit suicide than it is to prosper. Germany — even more than most — has chosen to kill itself. In 50 years, it’ll be an Islamicized backwater, forgotten by most and ignored by all but those who have to deal with the suicide bombers who emerge from its borders.

Europe Cooked

You run a thought experiment where Muslims are 25% of the population or 40% of the population or 60% of the population and you very quickly realize that these are nightmare scenarios in which the country as we know it ceases to exist.

So why in the world would you say,… https://t.co/seAF0Wrl0X

Given past evidence, society will be destroyed with Muslims at about 10% of the population. Which means that much of Europe is already doomed. They’re done and just don’t know it yet.

I don’t intend this in any creepy way, but it’s too bad we can’t convince all the European non-Muslim women (of any race) to immigrate to the United States. It would save them and their future children from the hell their lives are about to become and it would solve some of our demographic problems.

That’s a win/win.
