  • Same at my company. The frustrating part is they want us to use coding assistance, which is fine, but I really don’t code that much. I spend most of my time talking to other teams and vendors, reading docs, filing tickets, and trying to assign tasks to Jr devs. For AI to help me with that I need to either type all of my thoughts into the LLM which isn’t efficient at all or I need it to integrate with systems I’m not allowed to integrate with because there are SLOs that need to be maintained (i.e. can’t hammer the API and make others experience worse).

    So it’s pretty much the same as it’s always been. Instead of making a gallon of lemonade out of one lemon I need to use this “new lemonade machine” to start a multinational lemonade business.












  • That sounds like a different system than the article is talking about. People were driving their trash to the dump for a flat rate:

    Under the town’s system, residents would buy a $240 sticker for their cars that allowed them yearlong access to the dump, where they could dispose of as much garbage as they wished.

    So why would you go to the dump with an empty can or leave the dump without your garbage being taken?

    I’ve had a similar system for years and I don’t see it as that unfair (given I don’t have a lot of financial troubles). Every week they empty my bin for a flat rate and if I have more than what fits into the bin I get an extra charge.
