Any sort of tech company was always a headless chicken. It's just that when software developers were the hot thing on the horizon we were oblivious to the stupidity that thrives in corporate.

If you think about a business that maximizes profit, and sample opinions from the business side about the business domain.. you would be forgiven to assume the replies are nothing short of genius. However, the facade of brilliance falls apart the moment you attempt to sample anything adjacent to business or unrelated to it. You will realize that having experience in and making a lot of money does not translate well to other endeavors where making money is not the main concern.

Now that we have been milked dry like Apids in an Ant farm and have been virtually kicked out of the money making complex, we start to realize we were just cattle all along and that praise for our stature in the industry as the eponymous "genius" of the entire operation was just flattery to assuage any inconvenience we perceived through corporate bullshit. They succeeded in avoiding drawing our ire towards the incredibly narrow-sighted and hollow endeavor that is making the line go up exponentially.

Now that facade has fallen face first at the dawn of the LLM era. The arrogance that hid from software engineers and developers but was all too apparent to blue collar and "lesser" corporate functions has shown it's face to us, the enlightened morons.

Keep Advent Of Code and Everybody.codes together => More activity in this community, more discoverability for either competitions. Only drawback => polluted feed. Which can be fixed by the tags.

Professional code golfers (Is that the right term?) build up a large suite of helper libraries from past events/from daily puzzle solving that they invoke for common problem types like graph search or constraint solving, or even for converting the text input to the right data structures.

I assume the most difficult aspect of the problems is to translate the statements into actual code constraints/filter functions. So the spirit of the competition is not broken by having pre-written code (Although I am not sure many would think pre-written code is acceptable).

That’s the trust cost of nuclear power in Australia, not the just the hundreds of billions of dollars in the cost of constructing the reactors more than a decade away … but the danger that another decade of denial prevents the action on climate and investment in energy we need now,” he will say.

“Australia has every resource imaginable to succeed in this decisive decade: critical minerals, rare earths, skills and space and sunlight, the trade ties to our region.The only thing our nation does not have, is time to waste.”

I was onboard with the delay reasoning until he mentioned critical minerals, rare earth as the first 2 examples. That just makes me think he only cares about Industry and Businesses and not the pollution and ecological destruction.

Let the rest of NA band together and start calling them pississippi and let their residents scratch their heads

On the other hand, we should keep outing these Nazis whenever we can so that the decent part of society doesn't collectively forget who punched down and who punched up.

We need to compensate people well for this sort of work. There are a lot of people doing this work right now who are not compensated fairly for this work.

Why is it just devs?

Because, (and not sure about your upbringing, speaking for myself and possibly those who agree) we entered the field because of our dream to get paid for what is effectively hours of our favourite activity: tinkering with our home computer (that dad forbade us from touching as we often broke something) and building cool stuff. I still remember the day I used Turbo C compiler to compile the "Hello, World!" program and the feeling of seeing the result made me happy and excited. My immediate thought was "what else can I do with this!".

I often tried implementing graphics in turbo C. The horrors of trying to find the cause of out of bound scribbling mess that my drawing code produced is quite nostalgic to this day.

I guess most of the current struggle is to just reproduce that joy that we got once.
