Anyone in software engineering will tell you that as you get more senior you spend less time writing lines of code and more time planning, designing, testing, reviewing, and deleting code.

This will continue to be true, it's just that there will be less juniors below who's whole job is to produce code that meets a predefined spec or passes an existing test, and instead a smaller number of juniors will use AI tools to increase their productivity, while still requiring the same amount of direction and oversight. The small amounts of code the seniors write will also get smaller and faster to write, as they also use AI tools to generate boilerplate while filling in the important details.

I agree with you completely, but he did say no need for 'human programmers' not 'human software engineers. The skill set you are describing is one I would put forward is one of if not the biggest different between the two.

How does that benefit devs? Epic should swallow the cost if it wants to do that

If a bunch of people photographed that same incident from different angles, clearly it's real

Interesting that this is the threshold because it might need to be raised. In the past it was definitely true that perspective was a hard problem to solve, so multiple angles would increase the likelihood of veracity. Now with AI tools and even just the proliferation and access to 3D effects packages it might no longer be the case.

Lawyers are not PR people, its not surprising they would try any avenue to save the company money.

Rest assured that if this hadn't become a big news story they would have got away with it too, as no random citizen has the means to force them to do anything, especially when it comes to the courts.

Does that include Rishi Sunak's interest payments?

IIRC water happens to appear similarly to a lot of explosives on the metric they use for what the composition of items in the scanner is.

Improvements are being made though so soon we may be allowed to take water through unrestricted:

The goal is not to stop the people in the queue being attacked, its to stop someone boarding a plane with the means to hijack it

52% of turnout, which is 72.21% or eligible voters, which is only ~71% of the total population.

Reminder that there was never an actual majority for Brexit, let alone the hard brexit that we ended up with, and our politicians continue to pander to a minority of extremely hateful right wingers for reasons that escape the majority of the population.

Having been, he 100% brought that in. The food in all the venues has been terrible without exception, however this is still a great idea

I think it is generally because of our deeply capitalist society and upbringing that we are told to believe people are greedy and selfish, therefore we must be greedy and selfish ourselves in order to not get taken advantage of, or replaced.
