  • It would be easier to record than upload. Since upload requires at least a decode steps. Given the fleeting nature of existence how does one confirm the decoding? This also requires we create a simulated brain, which seems more difficult and resource intensive than forming a new biological brain remotely connected to your nervous system inputs.

    Recording all inputs in real time and play them back across a blank nervous system will create an active copy. The inputs can be saved so they can be played back later in case of clone failure. As long as the inputs are record until the moment of death, the copy will be you minus the death so you wouldn’t be aware you’re a copy. Attach it to fresh body and off you go.

    Failure mode would take your literal lifetime to reform your consciousness but what’s a couple decades to an immortal.

    We already have the program to create new brains. It’s in our DNA. A true senior developer knows better than to try and replicate black box code that’s been executing fine. We don’t even understand consciousness enough to pretend we’re going to add new features so why waste the effort creating a parallel system of a black box.

    Scheduled reboots of a black box system is common practice. Why pretend we’re capable of skipping steps.


  • I agree.

    One can’t claim to love programming while calling the act of writing code being a code monkey. Whatever they actually love about the process may not exist in the industry.

    I would suggest they explore alternative roles and perhaps alternative industries. They sound like they are new to the industry so their ability to land a senior role is likely to lead to different disappointments.

    The best way to do something, often isn’t the best way to implement something. That’s why this is a senior role. The author does not appear to understand this concept and will be horribly disappointed when their perfect architecture is ignored by the realities of development.

    You would be wrong.

    I’ve read the article a couple times now trying to understand why this resonates so hard with some people.

    I have tried to bring up what I feel are valid points and the responses are not engaging with what I’ve discussed but acting like I lack the ability to understand.

    I get that attacking me is easier than addressing my points; I have the social skills of a software engineer after all.

    I like code because there is no arguing. It’s just math.

    People on other hand are caught up in emotions and ego, creating anecdotes to fit their biases.

    I can’t fix the tangled mess of the human mind, but I can fix the crazy spaghetti code those type of people create.
