Microsoft did not have an RTO mandate at the company level. There are some specific teams that had one but it's definitely not the majority.

Elected Dems serve all Americans. They should be on all the platforms so that they can get their message out to all their constituents and not just the left leaning ones.

Lol, wouldn't want the NSA snooping on those very important messages like "what do you want for dinner?"

Not to mention that if Trump screwed up and lost popularity and Dems had an open primary in 2024 there's a good chance Dems win the presidency in 2024.
On the other hand, 4 bad years of Trump may have driven Dems more to the left instead of the (IMO) valuable introspection that's happening now.

I think potentially the answer is yes. We'll never know, but Trump might have been kept busy dealing with COVID recovery for most of the last 4 years and may not have had the bandwidth to push on his more extreme policies. And he also may have become less popular, leading to new leadership in GOP.

You Need To Calm Down
I assume it's mostly wall street and investors that are upset, not tech people, but honestly I have no idea. I'm curious who is opposed to it too, outside of the "we don't trust them because it's China" argument.

The thing that REALLY worries me is the drop off in entry level hiring, using AI as a substitute for them. This will only work for 10-20 years after which the current "senior" devs will start retiring and there won't be new senior devs to replace them.

I agree. And I'm not as worried about more experienced devs, but I do worry about new devs starting their career and "getting by" with AI code. Worried that they will have missed learning some core skills that would help them debug the AI code.

Yeah... that's always a risk. I'm getting better at noticing the bugs earlier but I've definitely been sent down rabbit holes I would have avoided if I had not used AI.
On the whole I'd LIKE to say it's still a net positive but it's possible I'm lying to myself 😅

It would take me 5 mins to write the loop, but AI does it in 2 seconds. Do that 5-10 times a day and I legitimately save maybe an hour a day? It's not nothing (it really is useful!), but it's not mind blowing or life changing.

It does legitimately speed up my coding, but not by orders of magnitude. Mostly I will type a code comment like "Iterate through the list and grab the last segment of each string" and then it autogenerates a straightforward loop to do that. But it did not tell me to write the loop, that was me.

THAT. We have DEV/PPE/PROD but they all have slightly different IaC templates and also they stopped deploying via IaC years ago and started manually poking at things for updates. So now they're all out of sync so you can't even trust that validating in PPE proves anything 🙃

I would be interested too, except I know I'd get frustrated quickly and come up with a plan to rewrite the whole thing. "Don't worry boss, I'll have the new pipeline up in 100 sprints or so and then the issue will be resolved".
Source: I'm doing that on my current team, except it's 4-5 sprints.

(senior dev answering questions from the new hire): "Oh that? Yeah we have to build those binaries on a Linux agent and then copy them back to the main build agent because they can't compile on Windows. It was easier than fixing the bug in the kernel since we were the only people hitting the bug."
