Cursor in particular but also others are extremely flaky when it comes to applying rules.
So the next generation of "rules" for Cursor, Claude Code, etc should have some predictability baked in, i.e. not be entirely driven by AI.
Having rules driven by a vanilla, non-AI program ensures that they're actually, consistently applied, with some logs showing if/how they were applied.
Of course, one can augment vanilla rules with some AI capabilities, but the main orchestration should resemble determinism.
I suspect that the main reason why this isn't a reality yet is because costs could easily skyrocket. Personally I'd be willing to pay the extra buck if that means that my comprehensive rule system is actually doing something.
The internet would be such a great way to connect all the peaceful people around the world and boicott the elites that are wreaking havoc.
I don't think a significant amount of Americans, Europeans, Russians, Chinese, etc genuinely wish the decline of any of the other countries. It's just their leaders that create these situations and force us to pick a side.
Most people are too lazy/entitled to even protest in the US. I'd wager the same is true in a lot of western cultures right now.
Most Americans can't even see past basic propaganda nowadays. There's a severe lack of critical thinking. Everyone points the finger and then can't even inconvenience themselves in the slightest.
Reminder, something like 50% of Americans under the age of 40 get their news primarily from TikTok and other social media. This has destroyed critical thinking and basic understanding of the world. On top of that, young people do not value democracy. Something like 40% of young Americans are willing to sacrifice democracy for various things. There's a whole Radiolab episode about the "erosion of democracy".
After the enterprise grace period the code will be deleted from the project. You can expect a fork to appear that patches it back in (I doubt ungoogled chromium would be where that is done), but eventually that will become a nontrivial process. You have a year, maybe two. There are many chromium-based browsers that have built-in blocking.
Not related to the org in any way, but considering 'someone' is singular, and bullet point 'd' -- I think they're looking for a single contributor that meets all of the above
As a long-time professional RoR developer, I disagree with the article's premise.
AI seems like the last nail in the coffin for an easy, slow-evolving, highly standardized ecosystem like Rails'.
In short, using Rails was already pretty easy pre-AI, now it's just too easy. That might be nice for misc purposes like prototyping something, or teaching people how to make webapps, but for all other purposes it makes us disposable peons.
Even in better times than 2022-24, I expect Rails salaries not to grow particularly. I don't expect it to die either - probably it will be not unlike PHP: easy, pretty nice, but ultimately a voluntary choice to have a lower salary.
I thank Ruby/Rails for various aspects that have made my career better, but it's wiser to move on to something more niche and that doesn't pretend we're still living in 2008.
> In the early 1980s, Dallas Fort-Worth Airport covered as much land as the city of Dallas did, and Denver International Airport is as large as the city of San Francisco.
They're probably referring to the official city limits, which can be tiny, as opposed to the total Dallas metro area. The latter is what people actually tend to think of when mentioning a city.
I might be wrong though as I know nothing about Dallas, in which case it also doesn't fit into my head.
The two runways in my city's fairly small, low traffic airport are roughly 1.7 and 2.42 miles long (2.745 and 3.9 kilometres to be precise).
It doesn't help that the city of San Francisco is quite tiny, only 7 by 7 miles. When you consider that Denver International has to fit six runways as well as its apron, terminals, hangars, various facilities, and the transit space needed to link all these plus an acceptable amount of buffer space for safety and noise reduction...yeah.
Remember the famous "freeway interchange the size of Florence" image. It takes the small size of "old Florence" and compares it to a modern cloverleaf. Area goes up real fast because it's the square.
Central Park in NY is about seven times the size of Vatican City.
I second the sentiment, however I'm not sure that the market is 'saturated' with talent. The need for productive devs remains there, companies just lack the investment money (and/or cannot spend it due to the US tax situation). Products, teams are struggling as a consequence.
The moment investment comes back, so will be jobs. In the end it's that easy.
Best of luck with the search!
