Yep, calculator, etc. A lot of random abstract comments like this about AI. Share anecdotes and examples if you have any

I bet you don’t know the MIME type for MS Word doc off the top of your head. Do you? So why would I take your advice on this topic? I bet there are 1000 other things you don’t know about file uploads. The LLM does know, and if I think it lo

This is exactly how it works. I said “AI make it rain” and now I run multiple international businesses.

Never would have. I love the argument that “AI code doesn’t feel like mine :(“ but you’ll use some shit library from 12 years ago?? Are any of you actually developers? Ffs

I built the e-signing experience at DocuSign in 2012 in Node/Backbone, and later became a licensed background check investigator when I built Uber and DoorDash’s background check SDK that is used over 1 million times per year. Am I all

I never even said what the product is, it's for my job. Maybe you get a dopamine hit from comments like that.

It’s more work than before LLMs (but I get way more), but you're right that I don't pay since I run local models. @dang @tomhow If you want to practice fairness for once in your lives

Think we’re saying the same thing. I very actively work using LLMs (no “agentic” stuff) and agree with you - they are only really worth tasking out tedium to. But a lot of - say a DM feature - is tedium. Something simple like adding react

Problem is without LLMs I’m making a contact lead form with some basic stuff and calling it good. With them, I’m making the whole SaaS. I just made the best DM experience last night. I never would have before. Feels and looks just like iMes

Let the LLM do the 80% and then you take all the credit by decorating the code in your style. What’s intellectually “mine” is the task anyway, not the code. You should be able to strip all the creative intelligence out of the code and what

Just had a PTSD flashback... The year was 2002, VB6 had just been retired for VB.NET which had 0 backward compatibility. And then we all became Flash/AS3 developers. The End

Tried Miro once. Wasn’t a whiteboard replacement. Wasn’t design software. Wasn’t a PM tool. Even when the Miro power users would bust it out in meetings, it was always so painful to watch. I don’t know what the point of Miro really was. The
