i tend to share your view. but then your comment describes a lot of previous cycles of enterprise software selling. it’s just that this time is reaching a little uncomfortably into the builder’s /developer’s traditional areas of influence/control/workflow. how devs feel now is probably how others (ex csr, qa, sre) felt in the past when their managers pushed whatever tooling/practice was becoming popular or sine qua non in previous “waves”.
The difference is that with OO there was at least hope that a well trained programmer could make it work. Nowadays, any person who understands how AI knows that's near impossible.
asking in a narrower context than before: what happens when an Nth generation american is forced to prove their ancestors came to the country legally under threat of being stripped of the only citizenship they’ve ever had ? i doubt most people can produce documentation reaching back several generations…
see the following [1]doj enforcement priority on stripping citizenship ; i guess conceivably a citizen could be in a situation of having to prove that some ancestor didn’t lie on their naturalization application
what happens when an Nth generation american is accused of disloyalty and forced to prove their ancestors came to the country legally? i doubt most people can produce documentation reaching back several generations…
without siding with the perspective being voiced, i feel compelled to point out your comment sounds like you believe there is a real alternative to criticize yet participate. even if you attempt to disengage and decide to go live in a cabin in the woods off the grid, the irs and any number of other agencies will go after you and your loved ones for doing basic human things like having and raising kids in a non-sanctioned way. so is there really any practical alternative to just voicing dissent?

I think my real problem with it is that how slow it is is easy to predict beforehand. If it doesn't meet the goals set for it speed-wise, they could go for something smaller.
It should only be quality which could be unpredictable before training.
It is a lot to expect of readers... It's also explicitly asked of us in this forum. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html. "Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith."
it’s fine for a forum to try to have different expectations than the local cafe - that’s kind of like a host asking their guests to remove shoes before walking into their home. but it doesn’t really change a priori basic facts about good writing.
perhaps this is the appropriate forum to reference pg
US banks are too busy delaying their customers’ ach transfers for days so they can profit from the float to actually solve customer problems and take responsibility for the many societal benefits they enjoy.
I've seen a "pay me a few bucks and I'll do it instantly", so pretty sure it's not a technical issue. It's a "we can charge a few bucks if we don't fix it" issue.
ACH clearing (transaction information) happens multiple times per day. Originating bank sends a list of transactions to the clearing house, Receiving bank is notified of transaction pending.
ACH settlement (bank-bank funds transfer) happens overnight. Funds from the Originating bank are "rehomed" to the Federal Reserve, and then again to the Receiving bank. This is, obviously, a database update.
ACH posting (funds available to customer) happens whenever the Receiving bank feels it's appropriate. Generally, by local close of business on the settlement lot schedule (same day or next day). The receiver may choose to delay posting to customer account if they don't trust the Originator, or the customer, or just for fun.
ACH transactions are reversible. This is the reason posting happens as quickly as it does (!), but also the reason posting takes as long as it does.
i recently wrote a check to another member of the same credit union. they deposited the check to their credit union account. the credit union insisted on a ten day hold!!
if you ever need to transfer money across far enough borders from your home, it’s currently almost impossible to avoid paying some sort of fee afaik (whether an airplane ticket to hand-carry cash or some kind of markup to convert currencies or some sort of blockchain fee to use newer methods). i’m actively looking for methods that are legal and don’t carry a fee. ex ibkr currency convert -> fidelity individual account -> fidelity cash mgmt -> free wire ?? there are all sorts of gotchas at every step atm ostensibly for aml or sanctions “compliance“
I honestly want slower transactions as a service. If I get hacked, my accounts are going to be drained in milliseconds. Instead, I want specific accounts to have a minimum N days to money extraction. Lots of time for me to be able to put a halt on unexpected money movement.
