Different shops had different practices, who knew!
It was seen as training on how to use the machine and access to what the more experienced coder was doing. It was of course also back when on-the-job training still existed instead of just throwing the new guy in a corner and expecting them to pick it up themselves.
Can do you one better.
Automation Dependency is a legitimate worry. Aviation has also been safer post-1997 than it was pre-1997.
Once upon a time the junior dev's job was to clean the mainframe and type up the punch cards.
It used to be that airliners had a captain, co-pilot, and engineer to manage the engines and other systems. With increasing automation and system reliability the engineer position was made redundant. No profession is safe from stagnation.
His crimes/actions are alleged. That he's "involved in the Epstein Files" is not.
Which is why it's important to transition to more of a focus making those things with it instead of just burning it as fuel.
That's the clip the person you replied to, is replying to. Carter's demonstration.
All of those are basically front-ends for the National Weather Service and other mostly(?) public institutions that have actual weather satellites and generate the actual data.
I'm a fan of Windy because it lets you choose and compare/contrast forecast models. You can even compare which model has been more accurate for your location in particular.
Don't know if it was you but someone pointed out a few months ago that the 7900 was the last 24GB card to be found for less than $1k and I grabbed one as an upgrade from a 3070. Running local models it's less reliable than Claude at work, but not by much, and it was a good upgrade for gaming.
Before the return period was up it had gone from ~$900 to past $1.2k and I wasn't eligible for a repair/replacement just a refund, the market is completely sideways.

For...40 years? Demand for older consumer CPUs has dropped to zero over a few years because the new ones are demonstrably more capable and basically the same price. That's the whole idea behind Moore's Law. There are niche applications where that hasn't been true that were mostly filled by recycled hardware or single board computers. But in general people want the more capable device.
There's a whole conversation to be had about software bloat that that chain enabled but planned obsolescence it ain't.
They're better predictors of what people think will happen.
That can correlate with what does happen, but they're not the same thing. As much as Kalshi et al's marketing would like to suggest otherwise. They're not oracles or crystal balls.
IIRC, it's mostly that mega-churches are taking over.
It's the smaller (ostensibly) community focused ones that are dying.
