Fail. Not on top at all.

For those thinking of travelling to ICSE2024 ;)

When I had ~3 years of work experience, my title at JP Morgan was Associate Developer. Next level was VP - and in a few years would have most likely gotten it. VP dev at an investment bank (in tech) is ~senior dev at other companies. It IS confusing unless you know it!

For almost two decades, tech giants literally did not know what to do with their free cash flow. Finally, thanks to the rise of AI, they no longer have to put it into ever more ludicrous employee perks.

If your model is weak, your paper might end up getting more citations because people are always happy to include your model as a baseline.

Inspired by Georgios Gousios, I liked to solve tasks on the Unix cli. Enjoyed decomposing a problem and then piping together the solution, solving dozens of small quizzes daily. Now, I have AI work the problem directly, or write me a sh cmd to do it. Faster, but less rewarding.

Impressive!

Who in the world keeps writing these Steve Ballmer lifestyle pieces, including tips for exercise and nutrition? He clearly had (has?) a BMI in the overweight, perhaps obese category. press.farm/steve-ballmers…

So odd when the clear market leader in the hottest tech field today (AI) is seeing a steady stream of departures: cofounders, executives. The people who have the most internal details on current status and future plans. They have far more information than us on the outside.

At this point it's obvious that the Nobel for Literature is going to ChatGPT.

I just formatted a scientific paper abstract with Moritz Beller's Abstract Formatter. abstractformatter.inventitech.com

The Netherlands is one of the most sci-fi places on earth The Dutch deserve a new word: hydropunk Over centuries, they have created & maintained one of the most advanced water management systems on the planet

How do you measure developer productivity? Moritz Beller and Sarita join the Meta Tech Podcast to discuss Diff Authoring Time (DAT) – a way of measuring how long it takes to submit changes to a codebase. Hear how DAT unlocks new abilities for developers. engineering.fb.com/2024/10/25/dev…

Unverständlich, ARD & ZDF! Die aktuelle Kanzlerpräferenz: Merz 26% Habeck 25% Scholz 18% Und ihr wollt im Ernst ein Duell Merz-Scholz senden? Merz-Habeck wäre mit Sicherheit die interessantere Debatte, wenn es denn ein Duell sein soll.

I wrote a little piece on "What AI means for junior developers". > AI is fundamentally different than previous abstractions such as compilers > I'm afraid the field of computing might be getting tougher for juniors in particular inventitech.com/blog/what-ai-m…

I have recently noticed that deadlines in SE venues (even prestigious ones!) get extended on short notice. When I was doing my PhD, this used to not be a thing. Has anything recently changed? On all PCs I was on lately, there were lots of submissions, so why extend?
