The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

The guy at the helm (me) has barely written a line of code in a couple of decades and the code is being written in languages I have little experience in. Yet, at my prime, if I could do something of this level (over 8,000 lines of code), it would likely have taken over a year of dedicated work.

An article in WaPo says over 25% of coding jobs in the US vanished, in the space of two years, and that article was written a year ago.

AI could have done any of the jobs I did sitting in a cube. Only think AI couldn't do, is go down to the tool crib and make up sets of lock cylinders and keys.

Steve...glad to be retired, before the office worker apocalypse.
