Ask HN: What are the hardest problems AWS Lambda MicroVMs can solve now? 4 by iaziz786 | 0 comments on Hacker News. By introduction of Lambda MicroVMs, what are the most importance and challenging task we can solve with them now? I’m looking for the answers which weren’t possible before on it. My objective is to understand if this technology can solve really hard parts of a very common problem. Even if making it work on AWS would require a lot of work but it would be worth it. Hence my goal is to understand what it unlocks?

How to find AI-conservative companies to work for? 6 by tossitawayplz | 1 comments on Hacker News. Is it even possible? I don't completely hate AI, and leverage it to make things better but I don't like to use it for EVERYTHING. At my current job we have outsourced our thinking, our design, our documentation, our sanity to it and I just can't do it anymore. I'm considering getting out of tech entirely at this point I've been in it for almost two decades and I've reached my tipping point dealing with the way we're using it but fear basically every company hiring software engineers is doing the same thing (or worse.) I'm ready to just be poorer at this point.
