Just play the game. It’s a bunch of CEOs arguing over 250m, not developers going hungry.

They’ll win in court.

Yes, but when you compare it to codex and Claude though, it’s significantly slower. Especially over time. Better crank that AC.

I think in a few years we will have current cloud levels running pretty efficiently on current computers.

Fast is relative. I’m also commenting on the cost of the entire system, not just the gpu, fyi

A budget build is going to run you $4k+ for something like qwen3-coder:30b, and you’ll probably be annoyed at the speed of you’re used to Codex or Claude.

Well, think of it like this, they are asking for 250,000,000 that they say they are owed.

That’s not developer salary money, that’s the studio profit. They already got the first 250,000,000 to pay the developers.

So while this sounds like a shitty thing to do, it’s not like people are skipping meals. It’s just C-Suite drama—from what I can tell.

What does his app do? 🤣

Who uses windows 🤣

Right? I’m laughing how they expect me to sympathize with them.

Just ignore them and let it blow over. I bought it before I heard any of the hype. I have started it yet. I don’t think it’s going to be my usual flavor of gameplay but it has lots of music I like, and I grew up in the 90s, sooooo…

A person of refined taste right here. Very niche

Well, I don’t have a problem using AI. But I also don’t work for big tech companies with the kind of culture who push it on you. Also, I’m collecting an unemployment check after being laid off because the company can’t afford two developers anymore. So I dunno how lucky I am.

Your former boss is an idiot! Haha

Strong disagree. Getting your BSN is not 6 figures. It also far more stable than tech. There will always be sick people, the world is not getting healthier on average.

Going into software development in 2026 is a gamble. Being a nurse is not.

Well… good luck. I’ve been doing this for 25 years, and I’ll work for your salary. ;)

A lot of the major companies are trying to “embrace” AI. Anyone saying percentages is full of shit. And anyone claiming they got fired for refusing to use AI is also full of shit, they got fired for other reasons, which much have been screaming “I’ll never use AI you fucks!” Haha

Regarding the industry as a whole, AI is a big thing. You need to know how to use it correctly to (hopefully) produce quality code. This is a really rough time in the industry, for many reasons not at all related to AI. The economy is shit, globally. There is a lot of uncertainty, globally. Jobs are absolutely not secure. I’ve been laid off 3 times since 2020. And no, I wasn’t the only layoff. One company got rid of all their IT staff save for the IT director and one (overworked) support technician.

If you’re asking because you want to go into software as a career…………… don’t. Go into healthcare.

Murder.

Nice plug

Putin couldn’t attend?

+1 for Idaho, they deserve it.

Yeah like all ML ;)

It will be quietly repealed or ignored entirely
