You learn using a very powerfool tool. This is a tool, like text editor and compiler.
But you focus on the logic and function more instead of syntax details and whims of the computer languages used in concert.
The analogy from construction is to be elevated from being a bricklayer to an engineer. Or using various shaped shovels with wheelbarrel versus mechanized tools like excavators and dumpers in making earthworks.

I agree with you, syntax details are not important but they haven't been important for a long time due to better editors and linters.
> But you focus on the logic and function more instead of syntax details and whims of the computer languages used in concert.
This is exactly my point. I learned logical mistakes when my first if else broke. Only reason you or I can guide these into good logic is because we dealt with bad ones before all this. I use claude myself a lot because it saves me time. But we're building a culture where no one ever reads the code, instead we're building black boxes.
Again you could see it as the next step in abstraction but not when everyone's this dependent on a few companies prepared to strip the world of its skills so they can sell it back to them.

Sorry, but you don't know 'people'. Not all. You could only speak for yourself here. If you read the article you may realize that some 'people' liked it. here and there. It was not government or military contract that brough in all that money but the 'few' pints added up to the sum. You don't have to look down people to feel good, just have some drinks perhaps....
If you’re from the UK, you’d also know brewdog is not nearly as busy as it once was. Of course people like it because it’s convenient, but so is going to a spoons and paying half as much for the same quality but less cool interior.
I rather switch it to nowhere. But local.
I am not completely sure about the details, but I am leaning heavily, and investigating into this direction. With chat and agentic tools there plenty, accessing multiple models, and everything is evolving fast (extinct and come into existence) better keep ourselves flexible, not tied to any of the solutions. Especially not storing data in accounts. The fate of those is uncertain.
Chatting GLM-5(reasoning)(preview) answers just fine. Even after restricting web search and giving answer based on its own knowledge. Probably the results were different in China?
(GLM-4.7 failed to know anything without web search)
I feel it in a smaller but forced growing organization as the combination of atomised responsibilities and confused/overloaded coordination. For - a certian kind of - efficiency people are isolated into their responsibility area that they are able to oversee/comprehend - with accountability - that a manegement layer is supposed to coordinate. If the mangemenet layer is now overloaded or poorly executed - confused in case of evolution and growth and any kind of restructuring - but the atomic responsibility areas are having basically no (other than anecdotic employee chatter) oversight then troubles, even obvious ones, go undetected.
"Designing a system to incentivize sellers to have their lowest prices on Amazon..." so that vendors like the above person getting "the systemic effect that in order for the sellers to get their *sweet purchase orders from Amazon, they now need to raise prices elsewhere" IS intentional!
'Designing a sytem' to 'raise prices elsewhere'!
Probably the person's intent was to protect Amazon, but in my eye this is just providing a very strong real evidence against them now.
| Designing a system to incentivize sellers to have their lowest prices on Amazon...
Is not what you conlude, not at all, and is contradicting yourself just two lines up:
| they now need to raise prices elsewhere
Bingo! The claim exactly! And you really say, that this is not a widespread, also as you described intentionally designed systematic effort to infalte prices?! Come on!! : /
Paying almost a thousand - or more! - to have an overcomplicated device filled with sensors put into your most private sphere voulnerable to adverse elements unnecessarily (had a perfect dumb robot vacuum doing its job loaned to us once, but no-one sells such when they can sell bullshit for 4 times more, idiots buy it regardless), that is not smart....
Consumidiotsm, is the term comes to mind. Eating up crap, is the analogy from non-technical contexts. The side effect is, that buying properly made not overcomplicated and tedious to maintain (update, refresh, pair, disgnose, update and configure connected harware, click away pushy self-promotions, the way it is not exposing you to the manufacturer or everyone) products is tedious (loosing saved efforts). Poor others just want simple and robust, not fragile and risky tech-crap doing the core thing are left out.
(Robotic vacuum is a great concept! The available implementations in the other hand are rubish!)
It is the contrary!
