Every 10-20 years, a breakthrough technology promises non-developers to finally create software without needing to hire programmers.
So far, every such technology resulted in the need for more devs… expert in this NEW technology (or knowing how to fix it up).
Every. Time.

They make it sound like there are millions of dead people getting Social Security checks. But it's just not true.

tbh this kind of stuff makes me strangely optimistic (though in a vaguely dark way) about software dev careers in the sense that the temptation to not actually learn stuff seems overwhelming and might have downstream effects on the candidate pool in like five years
Anyone who has to mark student work right now, my thoughts are with you

i actually do think a lot of day to day software dev can be automated and vibecoded or whatever, but that only reduces the incentives for learning how to debug edge cases and design properly, and tbh i still doubt you can vibecode your way around some problems without very deliberate manual control

Figured I’d hop on here today for the 15th anniversary of the Affordable Care Act.
With everything going on right now, it’s easy to feel like regular folks can’t make a difference – but the ACA is a reminder that change is possible when we fight for progress.

Yes. While there are absolutely things Democrats can and must do to slow, obstruct, etc, GOP hold both House and Senate majorities, severely limiting our options.
Johnson and Thune are handing over the own keys and relinquishing their own power. Even for the cynics this should be a shock.

We all like to yell at the Democrats, but it’s really Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune who are letting Elon Musk and his faceless goon squad make a mockery of their power as leaders of a coequal branch without uttering a peep or lifting a finger.

Beyond everything else, it’s pretty funny to claim tariffs have no impact on consumer prices while also limiting tariffs on Canadian oil for fear of higher consumer prices

elon musk directed the primary regulator of his primary business -- a federal contractor -- to resign. he holds no office other than 'president's largest donor.'
at an oligarch's command, he resigned. one week later, the first aviation crash in the last sixteen years happened.

We see what actually existing left outlets are like — accusing Biden of complicity in genocide, relentlessly hostile to any big tent strategies, weirdly credulous about vacuous populist gestures from Josh Hawley, obsessively focused on factional infighting, etc
