Another thing to know: in the hamburger menu there is a "require face id option". Turn it on, otherwise if your phone is snatched from you (while unlocked), they can access your 2-factor codes.
I am young enough that my entire career has been markdown files, screenshots, and photos on my phone. I (a)sync everywhere by pushing git lfs commits to my home server.
Seems like overkill until it saves my ass. It continues to do so almost half a decade into all the LLM hype. It hits the sweet spot between simplicity, convenience, reliability, and precision.
People strongly underestimate how good the git life can be, especially with all the blogspam on here trying to dethrone it lately.
That's a funny (bad faith) angle you took it. I thought were talking about personal cheat sheets for general programming and tools, not work and proprietary stuff.
The alternative and typical options that nobody bats an eye at for doing this kind of thing (3rd-party big tech cloud) are much worse from a data hygiene perspective. If you're going to be that distrustful of personal phone usage by employees, you're running a prison instead of a workplace and replacing all thought with pointless checklists. That slippery slope never ends.
From your perspective, the best security posture is for employees to return to the office without any personal belongings so we can be extra super secure? It's too bad we can't erase their memories while we're at it since being a programmer is knowledge work.
Don't tell any authority that you are doing a thing, unless you have a good reason to tell them. It cannot possibly help you, it can only result in them telling you you can't do the thing any more.
And don't talk to police as a suspect. (I'm not sure if the rule still applies if you are the one reporting a crime)
The printed copy lets you build a spatial association with the command. You are more likely to be able to look up and have your eyes settle roughly where it is than write a query on a custom site.
I think for a digital solution to come close you need it permanently present on a nth monitor
and hook up a Bluetooth sensor so when you walk into the office it prints them off in individual sticky notes and assigns one of the humanoid robots to collect them and stick them on the monitor or cubicle walls of your chosen work desk.
> Mr. Altman promotes a future in which “A.I. produces most of the world’s basic goods and services” and taxes on the A.I. companies provide “opportunity to directly distribute ownership and wealth to citizens.” In his telling, “people will be freed up to spend more time with people they care about, care for people, appreciate art and nature or work toward social good.”
> I got a notification from Home Assistant that a fart was detected in the driveway. My neighbor was walking by my house on his nightly walk and ripped one as he passed by the driveway and the fart was detected.
I'd have to disable notifications for this in my neighbourhood to avoid alert fatigue.
This is such a great way to summarise the issue facing rank-and-file employees. If your job is predictable, repeatable, systematizable then you're "competing against the price of electricity [and GPUs]"
> people who can't do 2+2 and ones that can't understand the question without rephrasing it three times
We resorted to filtering candidates in-person with 5 basic technical questions on pen and paper. And I mean _really_ basic questions.
This was surprisingly effective because it filters for many non-technical skills like being able to read and write English, follow instructions, and show up to the office, on time, and appropriately dressed.
The number of candidates that failed these basic skills was astounding. We had candidates show up 20 minutes late, or email 2 minutes before the "interview" asking for a Teams link even though the invitation stated the meeting was in-person (highlighted in yellow). Others couldn't write their own name legibly on the paper.
A candidate that cannot answer basic technical questions has no hope of being able to prompt an AI effectively or review the code it produces.
We don't go that far. From the small sample I saw, I noticed that people who can't answer the basic questions are ones that can't use AI effectively either and don't understand that interview is for them to showcase their skills, with AI or without.
Where are they getting all those free tokens from?!? I don't like this rhetoric. It still costs money to write code, only now that wealth gets transferred to Anthropic instead of to individual contributors.
And even ignoring the token costs, that is just not true.
Sure, for some cases, the cost is going down. I and others on my team "one-shotted" impressive features in an hour of agent work that would have taken humans probably a month if done completely manually.
I've also seen agents going in circles for an hour on a fix that would have taken even a junior 3 minutes to get right (after it was struggling for 10 minutes, I wanted to see if it can ever get it right as an experiment).
And when taking a look at the whole organization, orgs still just aren't really shipping that much more quality features to their users as the impressive one-shot demos would make you think.
Nor was product quality the goal. Principal agent problems abound. The large org's behavior follows the thousandfold incentive gradients of the individual employees in their own career, CV building, promotion paths, budget allocation, etc.
