Spot on. Generative AI is an amplifier of your current trajectory, and a good side effect of that is that it exposes inefficient internal processes. As a company, it will be increasingly hard to go for the naïve and easy solution (the templ

This problem is not new. The new thing is that anyone can understand the core problem they’re trying to solve without involving a dev team by quick ideation and rapid prototyping. Just as always, it’s then up to the company to prioritize wh

From what I’ve heard, this is actually a problem with the exposed OS level api’s provided by Apple. Other manufacturers have solved this with on device workarounds. Doesn’t make it better though. I resorted to only the system only notificat

Kent Beck is smart because he proposes fixes that work in real life, as in environments with dumb code and undisciplined people. I can very much recommend his latest book ”Tidy first?”. It’s extremely short and concise, and is perfect for a

Genuine question - What part of ”that” is just not true?

Volvo still produces cars in Sweden. Koenigsegg still build their cars in Ängelholm.

There’s already a flash lite tier since 2.5. Latest is 3.1 currently.

To be fair, Gemini 3.1 flash _lite_ supports structured output (guaranteed json), it’s super fast, runs circles around 2.5 flash and costs $0.25/$1.50. I use it _a lot_ and it’s very capable if you just plan correctly. I actually almos

To me, LLM's free up time for me so that I can spend time on the fun parts of coding. Less boilerplate, more focus on the interesting problems. This is no different from using high level languages. The problem domain is less around mem

Good tooling, high level languages, faster computers and sane standards also enabled enormous productivity gains. I predict very few positions lost to LLM's, rather I'd say that just with any technical "revolution" we&

I recently wrote a blog post about exactly this, and I agree with your perspective. Vibe coding helps with showing other people your idea and get them to understand it, try it and, most importantly, help you fail fast. But as the product ma

For me personally, both at work and in my free time, I spend _more_ time on writing things _that matter_ since I’ve freed up time by using LLM’s for boilerplate tasks. My motto is - If it wasn’t worth writing, it won’t be worth reading. A g

This is just Sturgeon’s law. If you would reduce the number of students by an order of magnitude you’d still end up with 90% junk papers.

Thank you for your kind words. I guess one big component is perceived value. If the market thinks it’s valuable, it’s valuable. It’s when when the market looses value and/or interest that the true value will be evaluated. Companies tha

I think that generative AI is an amplifier of your current trajectory (paraphrased based on a comment here on Hn). So, I’d say that ”Yes” is the answer to that question.

They can be reasoned about and relied upon. The problem is that people/users/businesses skip the reasoning part and go straight to the rely upon part.

Yes. But the exploitable vector in this case is still humans. AI is just a tool. The non-deterministic nature of an LLM can also be used to catch a lot of attacks. I often use LLM’s to look through code, libraries etc for security issues,

Most of the time it's probably fine, but we should assume we don't know about all the attack vectors bad actors might use, so better safe than sorry. I forgot to say that I _absolutely loved_ the photos!

Please mask your identifiers, unless they are already spoofed. You potentially give out a lot of your info to bad actors. Other than that, love it :)

It’s interesting how you end up being a part of the current trends whether you know it or not. I actually set up a blog on the 15th. No real content yet but I’ve almost written a first real post. Seeing this made me chuckle - I thought _I_
