Why the hell would it be a good thing to withhold knowledge from junior devs?

What I've read is it's meant to keep crosstalk from multiple devs using AI at once from messing up each other's work. So everyone can just vibe code and not have any idea what they're doing in their own little space.

Just...just fucking work from home

But then it's harder to micromanage everyone. Better to hire people with no skill, then force them to drive to a central location, and distribute masks to have them tell an AI what to do.

The toilet chairs and nutrients paste IV will be things workers have to buy on their own as part of the contract.

That's the best code i have ever seen

Self-documenting!

lol no one is hiring junior devs anymore anyway

[–] vrek@programming.dev 41 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

The problem is with no juniors, you don't get any seniors in 5 years. Every expert was once a beginner...

Companies thinking long-term in 2026!? You're funny...

[–] vrek@programming.dev 3 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Here's the thing, Warren buffet argumently the best stock market person in history based everything on long term gains. P&g coke a cola etc long term company long term profit invest in them

Sure but he was also investing when the stock market was also slightly attached to reality which hasn't been true in a decade at least.

It was always gambling but now numbers must go up at all costs

That has always been the case and is written into law that a publicly traded company must do anything possible to make more money.

[–] Garnish2087@fedinsfw.app 5 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

It's not actually law and that's just what companies want to be the belief for them behaving reprehensibly

Yes, I believe you're interpreting that page incorrectly. Fiduciary duties are law bindings for specific relationships and situations not applicable for all publicly traded companies to all shareholders.

I believe you're confusing that idea with the theory of shareholder supremacy that's a claim, popularized by the likes of Jack Welch to support their actions.

The background comes from Dodge v. Ford Motor Co. in 1919 which stated

There should be no confusion... A business corporation is organized and carried on primarily for the profit of the stockholders.

and the interpretation has been quite debated.

If they didn't, other companies would be more attractive to capital, its how competition works.

[–] WesternInfidels@feddit.online 1 points 3 weeks ago

And he's been selling stuff and holding cash because he can't find anything with a sensible price.

this is the sole reason i jumped to the comments. you are supposed to be on a team. i mean, yes this product is silly but the posters way if thinking is disastorous.
