@GDiazAilan What I've seen so far is that AI is good at generating the first 95% of the code, but not the last 5%. The last 5% has always been the hard part. If AI can get that part right, then maybe it will replace devs, but I haven't seen that yet.

@DrJBhattacharya This is Logic 101 -- any inference from a false premise is a correct inference, i.e., A & ~A => True. All you have to do is state the false premise, and then you can draw any conclusion.

@DrJBhattacharya Even non experts (like me) knew this and published about it as early as July 2020.

@AndyDentPerth @LolaGerms @Morendil I did a video on the empirical support for the cone of uncertainty a few years ago.

@pdeva FWIW, the old copy was from an actual print run of ~10,000 copies per print run. The new copy was made using print on demand copy where they print one copy at a time. With the difference in quality, I would try to find an old copy on eBay too!

@jkpeyi @antfu7 @danielcroe @jovial_core That's essentially what I did, and the main value of the masters degree was being exposed to additional subject areas that I didn't know I needed to know.

@AdaptableTerran @jvgogh I'm glad you like the book! I have no plans to write another book at the moment, but my history suggests I'll probably dive into another one at some point.

@timokissel The data in this article says, "Intelligence tests of 17-18 year olds are poor predictors of income decades later." That's a potentially insightful finding, but the article doesn't ever mention it because it's so busy misinterpreting its data to support the author's biases.

@timokissel This statement is also juvenile: "But how should we treat the cleverest people? Their braininess is mostly luck--some windfall combination of nature and nurture." Dude! "Nurture" <> windfall! Nurture can = some = hard work, persistence, discipline -- or the opposite.

@timokissel The first caption in the article is hilarious: employees work at new desks they call 'the cube'. Cubes! What a great idea!
