  • Same at my company. The frustrating part is they want us to use coding assistance, which is fine, but I really don’t code that much. I spend most of my time talking to other teams and vendors, reading docs, filing tickets, and trying to assign tasks to Jr devs. For AI to help me with that I need to either type all of my thoughts into the LLM which isn’t efficient at all or I need it to integrate with systems I’m not allowed to integrate with because there are SLOs that need to be maintained (i.e. can’t hammer the API and make others experience worse).

    So it’s pretty much the same as it’s always been. Instead of making a gallon of lemonade out of one lemon I need to use this “new lemonade machine” to start a multinational lemonade business.















  • The tech reservists will serve for around 120 hours a year. Because of their private-sector status, each will carry the rank of lieutenant colonel.

    There will be other dispensations for the technology officers. They will have more flexibility than the average reservist to work remotely and asynchronously, and will be spared basic training.

    This pisses me off so much and I hope it makes the military livid too. Most people put their heart and soul into the work they do in basic training and officer training and even break into tears when they receive their new rank. These assholes are gonna take a fitness test and become officers?!?
