So even Canada has lower labor costs because of universal healthcare.

我这样说是因为我了解历史

If you make Roman/Nazi salute than your opinion is not worth considering. Either you're doing it because you approve of an ideology that will always fail, or you lack the contextual awareness to form an insightful opinion.

Edit: judging from your comment history, if you posted an image for yourself doing the salute I would say the latter. But we all know you're too ashamed/scared to share an image of yourself doing that "gesture"

Where do you think the Nazis got the salutes from? And for that matter, where do you think we got the word fascism from?

When requirements are "Whatever" then by all means use the "Whatever" machine: https://eev.ee/blog/2025/07/03/the-rise-of-whatever/

And then look for a better gig because such an environment is going to be toxic to your skill set. The more exacting the shop, the better they pay.

Literally the opposite experience when I helped material scientists with their R&D. Breaking in production would mean people who get paid 2x more than me are suddenly unable to do their job. But then again, our requirements made sense because we would literally look at a manual process to automate with the engineers. What you describe sounds like hell to me. There are greener pastures.

Maybe it is because I started out in QA, but I have to strongly disagree. You should assume the code doesn't work until proven otherwise, AI or not. Then when it doesn't work I find it is easier to debug you own code than someone else's and that includes AI.

Why would you ever yell at an employee unless you're bad at managing people? And you think you can manage an LLM better because it doesn't complain when you're obviously wrong?

A junior developer actually learns from doing the job, an LLM only learns when they update the training corpus and develop an updated model.

It’s usually vastly easier to verify an answer than posit one, if you have the patience to do so.

I usually write 3x the code to test the code itself. Verification is often harder than implementation.

When LLMs get it right it's because they're summarizing a stack overflow or GitHub snippet it was trained on. But you loose all the benefits of other humans commenting on the context, pitfalls and other alternatives.
