I’m ashamed to admit that I once suddenly realized what I had done: I asked the LLM to rename a variable. It took it some minutes or so. With IDE by hand it would have been seconds.

Honest take: I work less now with maybe slightly faster results while the output quality is probably about the same. Some bugs sometimes fall through, but when hasn’t that been the case? I take effort to write specs for the agent and I take

I feel the 1M context is way too large —- the model gets ”drunk” way before it gets anywhere near 1 million. Imo the 1M context window is a huge downgrade.

I suspect people with opinions like the author’s haven’t been in a project where people use LLMs responsibly. We had a senior dev basically just prompt and push, with very little overseeing and minimal instructions, causing so many bad PRs

I still write my cover letters myself. :( Though I do refine them with LLMs, but instruct to retain the tone and the feel of the writing.

I use LLM’s daily and agents occasionally. They are useful, but there is no need to move any goal posts; they easily do shit work still in 2026. All my coworkers use agents extensively in the backend and the amount of shit code, bad tests a

What I’ve seen also happen is senior devs suddenly starting to put out garbage code and PRs. One senior dev in our project has become a menace and the quality of his work has dramatically dropped.

Sounds like a junior vibe coder with no understanding of software development trying to boost their CV. Or at least I hope that’s the case.

Those lazy employees need that strict supervision! Maybe these c suites and other employee hating assholes are projecting their own lazyness. Or maybe they think they are so superior compared to ”common” people that the ”common” people must

Since you are only willing to go for 1:1 odds with a 3 year timeframe, I assume you are in agreement that it might happen? Otherwise I’m sure you would give him better odds with a larger timeframe :)

Tesla definitely has suffered a huge blow to it’s reputation (or several of them) which is evident in the EU new car sales. Maybe your take is true if you are non-EU, but it definitely isn’t true in the slightest in Europe and is pure copiu

To be perfectly fair saying ”it’s aware of the best practices, context and internal usage” is very misleading. It’s aware none of those (as it is not ”aware” of anything), and that is perfectly clear when it produces nonsensical results. Of

Just for anyone unfamiliar with the game or these types of games and to put out an opposing view — I disagree that the experience of BR games have anything to do with the experience of gambling. I’ve done both and find pretty much nothing i

My thoughts exactly reading these comments. Generating scripts is a very good use for LLMs, but I was under the impression that vibe coding generally referred to building whole products with just prompts. It’s a very different beast to do

Instead of being rude and snarky you could just answer the question. Or just not reply at all. Not everyone has looked into or tried everything.

I’m not sure if you are trolling, but I’m pretty sure just attaching a file to an email is often more efficient. Not to speak of legibility or maybe the intended use for said documents. Sadly I don’t think you are trolling. Also: a computer

I disagree strongly on the points of batteries and cables, and so would most of people who care about gaming mice to begin with (competetive gamers). Same probably holds true for most casual gamers as well. To be honest, your whole comment

Yeah nah. The endless loop of useless suggestions or ”solutions” is very easily achiavable and common, at least on my use cases, not matter how much you iterate with it. Iterating gets counter-productive pretty fast, imo. (Using 4o).

Not the US but most EV markets, apart from maybe eventually asian markets. Tesla and Musk had a crazy amount of goodwill and pretty much everyone I know was ”oh look, it’s a Tesla!” early on. Now every is more like ”oh look, it’s a Tesla..”

The point is still kind of valid, it is a decently affordable EV compared to many other ”luxury” EVs. They also had (have?) very cheap payment options available. I’d suspect the expenses are a big factor in the purchasing decision. edit: ob

Seems more like trying to find out the most proficient LMM users than anything else. I’ve never done interviews but I imagine I’d be hard pressed to skip candidates solely because they aren’t using LLMs. Each to their own and maybe their me
