If it was, then touch typing at 80 wpm would be part of the interview testing process.

The experiences are all over the place with little evidence of good workflows. The fly.io blog from yesterday was another good example. And yet demos I see are essentially boilerplate and CRUD. More and more companies are requiring devs to use it. I can't make sense of it.

Can you expand on this? It's being heavily pushed in my current role. I haven't seen huge gains outside of simple scripts, but some online claim massive bug-free productivity. I can't decide if I'm missing something or we are dealing with inflated bias.

Every senior or lead position I've held has also had responsibilities for more than just what I personally deliver.
In the end, many non-tech companies don't have a road map beyond senior, even though they have need for it. They want you on the management track.

Principal. Distinguished. Fellow. To name a few.
There can be a wide range of roles besides architect if the organization is brave enough.

I moved to an architect specifically out of this pressure. There was no path beyond Lead at my age. Management track was offered several times though.

We should be seeing extraordinary evidence, instead we are greeted only with lofty headlines.

I see around a 1% drop per query running Llama 3.2 on a beefy M3. Even so, I'm certainly not going to be running a days worth of queries with that kind of power consumption.
And forget running these on any kind of off the shelf consumer Windows laptop. It's like 1-2 tokens per second.

Now, you have to buy each person a digital card and load it up. And then keep the cards in your wallet for next time. Otherwise you have to buy another card for each kid.

Or, the worst it would be is that you had to go to the token machine and exchange for tokens that you could then give a handful to each person.

Remember when you could just use quarters or dollars directly in the arcade machine?

They already know. They are on board with it. It's the entire point.

POCOs and object initializers, so not much actual OOP.
Or maybe a heavy FP history?
