Everyone usually recommends Mistborn as the entry point. I personally started with the Stormlight Archive (The Way of Kings).

His writing generally gets better with each book, after going from The Stormlight Archive (all the way up to Rhythms of War) and then going over to Mistborn, I noticed a bit of a difference in his writing.

If I were to start all over again, I would go with Mistborn. I thought this flow chart someone made on Reddit to be pretty good.

Reading through the third book right now, and either missed or completely forgot the suggestion to try not to follow it, but glad I saw this message because I am often getting confused as to where people are. Still having a blast though! Well written books? Maybe not, but they are very fun.

So far DCC is giving me a nice break from the Cosmere and Sanderson's in depth world building.

When I used to play games online on English speaking servers, and French players would only write in French and people would be complaining, all it took was to write Omelette du fromage for them to quickly switch to English to explain how it's wrong.

Machines cannot take responsibility for problems, which is why I feel containment barriers cannot be entirely AI.

Where I work AI is being pushed hard, but the company has made it their policy that there must be a human in the loop. Ownership of the code written by AI is down to the person using the AI. "Oops, don't know why the AI wrote that!" Is not a valid answer to bugs being introduced into production.

I'm seeing senior engineers of 15+ years no longer writing code and churning out a ton more work. They are disappointed they don't write code anymore but working with the AI is the job they have to do to be able to afford to live. They say the cognitive load has shot up for them, they are constantly spinning plates.

To make the plate spinning job easier they have implemented guard rails to ensure the agents don't do anything stupid. I'm seeing a number of stories posted to Lemmy where the AI does dumb shit but the stories don't apply any accountability to the developers using it.
