Discussions around job automation annoy me so much: “$technology can’t replace everything I do so how could there possibly be any job loss” — If it replaces half of what you do then the demand for people like you halves, we don’t need 100% job loss for there to be a big problem! “$technology also creates some jobs” — yes, but what’s the NET effect? Doesn’t matter if it creates 1% new jobs if we loss 20% of existing ones
@keefeglise @anon_opin Only once you’ve exceeded the tax free amounts. IIRC it’s £500 for dividends, £3000 for capital gains, and a similar amount for renting out a spare room (assuming the original poster was taking about the U.K., which most AnonOpins are)
@anon_opin And caramelized onions too. So much energy is wasted shipping large bulbs for me to cook down in small quantities when the end product freezes well and can be added to lots of dishes
@jasongorman One of several small improvements that Jujutsu makes over Git. It's not required, so I can't speak for how it may compare to TDD, but it's perfectly possible to describe the current change even when it's still empty.
@anon_opin Only thing it’s good for is French toast
I feel like LLMs are the death-nail for using anything but the top 5 most popular programming languages. It was already nigh-on impossible to make the business case for less-popular tools, simply from a hiring and training perspective, but with LLMs being trained on the most popular languages and tools, it doesn't matter how much better less common languages might be, they're not going to be able to overcome the productivity gain of throwing LLMs at the problem.
@anon_opin You can then take it one step further, arriving at Modern Monetary Theory, by concluding that the only purpose of taxation is to make inflation less regressive.
