Zeppelins are back, baby!

People are really amazed at something excel has been capable of for like 30 years now. PowerBI/Tableau are free and do much more. Making charts and diagrams is impressive or a selling point now? Am I missing something here?

I think this is correct. It was common across all SaaS products id say right before LLMs and as LLMs were taking off.

Yeah people are starting to catch on ive noticed. About time!

So frustrating that news from my area one here is ever positive. West Michigan has a booming tech scene right now and clearly companies like Stryker need talent. Its LCOL here and the jobs are there for tech.

Well put. Im gonna start parroting this talking point more from now on.

And I thought being a stochastic parrot was limited to LLMs, but apparently they learned it from somewhere...

Sometimes I do genuinely feel sorry for those chasing the dream in Silicon Valley. Its much like Hollywood, where young talent can be taken advantage of easily. The Midwest has its problems no doubt but my lower pay = LCOL and less stress (I know there are plenty of good companies in Silicon valley)

Cool! I love go and things like this will keep bringing me back :)

Ive been trying to push my boss towards more analytics/telemetry in production that focus on crashes, thanks for sharing.

Cool stuff. Reminds me of the content you used to see on here all the time before AI took over

I'm sometimes wondering if the AI content here really starts trending organically, or if it is somehow pushed by AI companies.

Not necessarily with bots, just posting a few links in a company Slack with the request for everyone to upvote it from their personal account could be enough.
