Some people live paycheck to paycheck in tech. Where do they walk away to that isn't or won't be impacted by AI? Or are you assuming they have the financial support for such a risky switch?

Where are you looking at? Maybe look at other places besides the ones you expose yourself to.

Ukraine also gave up its nukes. Look how that worked out for them and Europe.

Were they theirs? Germany has nukes too but they're not theirs, they're from the US. Germany can't say "fuck off" to the ~50k Americans stationed in the country, leave NATO and get to keep the nukes.

If a country has nuclear weapons and can unilaterally launch them, then they are theirs. Who’s gonna come take them?

Who told you Ukraine had the ability to launch the nuclear weapons from the Soviet Union that happened to be deployed to its territory?

>can unilaterally launch them

Germany can't launch or even operate and maintain them without the US.


Competing with the authority bitwarden the company has over the bitwarden open source project. That's just the first thing off the top of my head. Very few people go to the competitor offering the exact same thing but with less say on the popular codebase.

And he has zero idea how it works. His capacity for understanding it is tied to his wallet now.


It's actually tied to his employment at Anthropic.


I remember a decade ago when JavaScript got Async/Await. 10 years is quite a long time.


The beauty of Clojure/Lisp is that we have a nice macro system. Over the years, people created their own macros to simulate async/await. This is a powerful feature of Lisp, you don’t have to wait for an official release, you can just add that feature to the language yourself. Now we don’t have to use that custom macro anymore, which basically did the same thing.


Clojurescript already had it, just didnt use native async.


Just be careful your patronage doesn't lead to a sunk cost fallacy---a middle manager might just be betting on it


I have no ingrained loyalty, I just haven't found something better.


Good, they want you not asking a single question, your paycheck obviously requires it.


I don't see how this follows


Where are you? Are you doing anything at all? Is commenting on Hacker News and taking a paycheck and maybe donating to some politicians all you're willing to do?


Your employer does not think anything they do is 'wrong' and neither should you when your employer is the 'victim' of one of your 'immoral' actions. Strange that they leave morality to the employee like yourself to impose on yourself to make yourself work harder for your employer. "If I bill for 40 hours and only work 10 while saving them millions of dollars, it's actually immoral on my part." You are literally admitting your shame for your own self-described immoral actions against your employer while completely blind or willfully ignorant of their proud immorality.

Hopefully you aren't one of those "well I signed the contract that let me be abused, I have no right to complain about my material conditions" kind of people. Under zero circumstances will your employer ever show you that level of empathy towards you, your coworkers, and your families. Under zero circumstances do they 'earn' your moral compass.
