Now, I just elect to not order any delivery at all. There is a 15% service fee, a delivery fee, AND food markup because they charge restaurant like 30%.

I am not sure how is this a fair deal. The guy ordering $300 worth of food probably already paid $60-$100 to get his food. This is already way higher than any traditional delivery service would ask for. The price tag just no longer makes sense for me.

OMG, I cannot believe this is actually true… https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/charlie-kirk-shot-gun-violence-video-utah-b2825263.html

I have a controversial take and a very bold guess: CS principle will be more important than ever when you graduate college.

1. CS enrollment is way down especially in the U.S. because of AI scare.
2. Old programmers are mostly retired during the AI hype period

Both of these mean that the supply of programers will be way down when you graduate.

1. AI have been slopping out code that might break within couple years. We have seen many service degrade, but not much critical failure yet, these could come later.
2. Most open source project has began to ban pure LLM contributions. Even Rust disallow LLM-generated code with very minor exceptions. Likely company are going to do the same
3. People who go to a simple coding bootcamp will not be competitive when LLM is in the picture, nobody need a programmer to “make the button bigger” anymore.

All these said, the demand for “good programmer” likely will not go down. If you study hard, do side projects, and build connection during college, you will likely be at a huge advantage after 3 or 4 years.

Of course, there will also be risks, i.e. that LLMs actually wipe out all programming jobs, which it is unlikely, but also not impossible.

Usually I would agree with you, but in this context, I am fairly sure China bans more book than the U.S.
