C++ safety is 100% in the hands of developers. The language itself, by design, is inherently unsafe.

I think I misread your post at first reading, as "(C++ safety is 100%) in the hands of developers". On the second reading, I realized that maybe your intention was "C++ safety is (100% in the hands of developers)". That sounds a lot more likely.

YouTube has said using creators’ content to train AI systems would violate its terms of service — so what happens if they did? As long as they don't train them on the comments

An analysis of 2.5 million GitHub Actions workflow files belonging to 553,000 organizations and personal users published today suggests many DevSecOps teams that use the GitHub continuous integration/continuous deliver (CI/CD) platform to build and deploy applications are relying on workflows that are often fundamentally insecure. That's OK, the code managed by those GitHub Workflows have plenty of vulnerabilities as well

I argue that we, human software engineers should replace ourselves with AI software engineers as soon as possible and as fully as possible. Are all opinions worth sharing?
Discuss, Mr. Betteridge

No, we should replace the marketing people who have the ideas that when implemented make software more complicated (which is this guy's main complaint).
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.
I’m begging you for the benefit of everyone, don’t be STUPID.

"Software engineers often gravitate"
We do what? Huh?
Oh and you think databases are useless complication?
Yeah... uh ain't nobody got time to read that. Made it that far though.
If you open your mind far enough, your brains run down to the floor.

It's hard to know where to start with this drivel. And that's putting it politely.
Quote: However, this over-bloated financial industry still fails to protect the economy from major crises, such as the Great Recession of 2007-2008.
The financial industry is bloated and suffers from crises because it knows that politicians and central bankers will bail it out. Both are abominations: capitalism without bankruptcy is like Christianity without Hell.
Quote: Nathan Marz of Red Planet Labs suggests radically simplifying the development of scalable web apps (by 100x in terms of software engineering effort...
Anyone who claims they can reduce software effort by 100x merits little but derisive laughter, if not a rubber room, at this point. So does anyone quoting them.
Quote: Software engineers act as bureaucrats who hold to their power by retaining the headcount.
Software engineers have little power in this regard. Most managers don't even want to "waste" resources on architecture or refactoring.
Quote: This is how banks have established and grown their compliance departments
Compliance departments have grown because of increased regulations, a lot of it related to KYC (Know Your Customer). The author opines on the financial and software industries, yet is fairly ignorant of both.
Quote: Alas, bloated, inefficient, unreliable, wicked software will be written by human software engineers to increase their job security.
Alas, most of this is due to management allocating insufficient resources to architecture and refactoring.
To be fair, the article gets better for a time at this point.
Quote: The users and other stakeholders of software products should also govern its complexity
The concept of stakeholders, other than shareholders, is one of the more imbecilic concepts to gain a foothold in recent years. Management's fiduciary responsibility to shareholders means that they need to create a work environment that rewards the minimization of complexity. Getting them to do this is the challenge.
Quote: Thus, for the benefit of the stakeholders of these companies, they should shred human software engineers as quickly as possible. This is what Musk did when he bought Twitter, but less extreme.
Musk could do this, in part, because of the number of resources dedicated to enforcing political agendas. Hardly any software outfit is beset with that amount of fluff. Google is another example where a lot of similar roles could be axed.

If they did that, how would they ever come up with the idea to put more ads in videos, and on the web?

The author is an idiot. He says we (software engineers) create overly complex systems and then goes on to imply we need to be regulated. Regulation guarantees complexity.

Google's problem is that their office products are junk when compared to Microsoft Office. Those firms didn't want to drop MS-Office, they just wanted to host it themselves vs. on Azure.
