A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Yay! Extra mental load of having to ask the AI "correctly" and then keep up one's skills to be able to review the AI's work! Extra bonus for being blamed for letting anything slip past.
At least the junior that fucked up will learn something from the experience and can buy a round of beers (if the junior is paid well enough, otherwise the seniors have to buy the junior a beer while talking it out).
I'm reminded of a time I was in a bar in Georgia at a conference. It was in the hotel, and a high-ranking editor for the then-reputable Washington Post bought me a beer. He let me take a sip before launching into how much "immature shit [I] need to get out of [my] system" before being ready to be "Post material."
Where is any industry going to be in a decade, when no one's been mentored?
