When are tech folk going to get that people like wasting time, it's life. They don't optimize for efficiency, they try to get by, they watch dumb stuff, they enjoy shopping. Inefficiency is another work for living and life. Your m mean and median job isn't a software engineer in Menlo Park, it's Ashley in accounts in a not for profit in Columbus, it's Jesse , the office manager for a tool rental business in Tallahassee, they are more likely to use a Fax machine than Slack. They quite like meetings because they like chatting, they'll use AI to make a better invite to their baby shower, not agentify their job. These people, nor their bosses boss, aren't in a rush to build software as a side hustle, they are keen to use AI to check if their vet is overcharging them.

BREAKING: US jobs numbers have now been revised down in each of the last 13 months, by a total of -710,000 jobs. This means employment was initially overstated by an average of ~55,000 jobs per month. US job numbers were revised down by another -4,000 jobs in January and -65,000 in December. This brings the December reading down to -17,000, marking the 5th contraction over the last 9 months. Since January 2024, there have been downward revisions in 24 out of 25 months. US labor market data is more unreliable than ever.
