A fine time to cancel Larabee properly and get serious about specialized GPU hardware five years earlier.

The grocery bagger on a zero hour contract needs to be able to survive when not given 40 hours. Also the 5% unemployed people in a 'full employment' economy need to be able to survive when sacrificed to control inflation.

Have you seen how much money we are shoveling into 'AI'

Boeing has consistently underperformed the market massively since the MD merger. Making maybe 3% after inflation

Monorepo very often means bazel for tooling (rbe and caching tests) and that means one WORKSPACE with common versions of libs.

Monorepo also means a team 'vetting' new thirdparty libs, and a team telling you your CI takes too long, and a team telling you to upgrade your lib within 23 minutes because theres a security issue in the korean language support...

Monorepo doesn't mean any of those things, nor does a polyrepo setup prevent any of them except for bazel.

It sounds like you worked in a dysfunctional organization that happened to use a monorepo. Their dysfunctions are not inherent in the monorepo model and they would have found other ways to be dysfunctional if not those.

More like the willfully blind engineers, disingenuously claim to believe that absurd bullshit. There's not a lot genuine left in that company.

Should managers exist?

We got along better before all these managers arrived, could ship huge projects with 100 people and one ceo. And the ceo wrote code and didn't do any of the nonsense most managers fill their days with.

Then when you need to buy a house you have to leave.

Net migration to London from the rest of England and Wales is only positive for those aged 20 to 27

The issue is actually that there aren't, let's say I go to derby, how many ML engineers will I find, or infrastructure coders, Biomed researchers or industrial chemists.

Not that many.
