"I have a hard time imagining a future where knowing how to solve problems with computers and how to control the complexity of those solutions is less valuable than it is today, so I think it will continue to be a viable career even wi

That's a valid point - I largely agree with you, I can make it generate mostly corrected & acceptable code with a solid level of quality, given smaller & scoped features and detailed prompts. I'm just not at all convince

I think that the bottom line is that the bottlenecks are - the specific model you use & your skills, experience and reasoning capacity (intelligence); and you control only the latter, so focus on that!

Hunger and drive can definitely lead to unexpected initially results; they cannot replace relevant experience, but if somebody has at least done something similar, it's often worth making a bet on them! There also is an interesting par

What makes you think that they will just keep improving? It's not obvious at all, we might soon hit a ceiling, if we haven not already - time will tell. There are lots of technologies that have been 99% done for decades; it might be th

I don't know whether I would go that extreme, but I also often find myself faster writing code manually; for some tasks though and contextually, AI-assisted coding is pretty useful, but you still must be in the driving seat, at all tim

Are guardrails, CI/CD, to make code at least compile-able and require minimal quality standards also possible to change via PR or managed somewhere else? With this possibility, it might went into oblivion indeed!

Ahhh, the problem with incentives; maybe it's more the case that, had the Linux Foundation behaved in a more aligned with the pure open-source ethos way, Linux would not be so widely used and working so well? They problem of incentives

Exactly this; for some tasks, it can speed up you dramatically, 5 - 10 x; with others, it actually makes you slower. And yes, very often writing a prompt + verifying results and possible modifying them and/or following-up takes longer

Weird - it should be completely up to the developers, whether they write code by hand or partially/mostly with LLMs. If the code meets set standards and the author understands it all - why does it matter whether it was written by a h

No less impressive than the SQLite project itself; especially 100% branch coverage! That's really hard to pull off and especially to maintain as the development continues.

Good points; I wonder have they measure whether charities that get this money are effective though - it is a really hard problem; not only to help for the help sake, but to help effectively, achieving the intended end results

I also like and use lazy loading a lot :) But I guess the general question worth asking is: who drives the need for new features and functionalities in the browsers?
