Probably. And probably hard for them to believe too.

Google ads are a con. Meta ads are a con. If someone tells you you’re just not doing it right yet, they’re probably trying to sell you something.

Shopify should deal with their hijacked accounts first. A high percentage of sponsored Google search sponsored results lead to scams on hijacked sites.

I wish developers could just walk out the door en masse tomorrow and let orgs replace them all with AI as has been touted for so long, then see what happens. It gets boring trying to explain that developers don’t just write code. “What do t

Same here. Got the same machine and feel the same as you about it.

Exactly. I think this is it. Clearly separate what must be perfect and well understood (security, business logic), from bits that you are happy to throw some code at and see if they work. And don’t let the latter get its hands on the former

I think c is the only way it can sustainably work. The idea of b, that software is running and nobody there knows how it works, doesn’t seem like a good foundation for a business to run on.

I have found what works well is to modularise the code as much as possible and get an agent to work within a very limited scope. Break everything down well using SRP with well defined interfaces and let the agent work on small problems. The

It will soon be easy is all content will be AI-generated content. Or it will just implode at that point.

Coding is just a small part of a modern software engineers job. And some may think it isn’t the hardest part.

Just a joke. Was self deprecating.

I’m quite sure they are not offended by these HN comments. They probably think we are all nerds.

It’s more than that. Anything like this that takes me away from constantly checking my phone, and can be glanced at by the whole family is better.

You just don’t get it but that’s fine. I get it. If the price was more affordable I’d have one on my hall asap.

This is great. Always wondered why this didn’t already exist.

Linkedin is the sleaziest thing I’ve seen on the internet since it was invented. The sight of it makes my skin crawl. The way they have desperately tried to onboard you via data that they seem to have that they shouldn’t. The way users eve

Exactly. Software development is 20% of what your average software developer does. Figuring out what to build is a skill some don’t even realise they are doing every day, and it’s an incredibly valuable skill.

I think what is left is that understanding pain points and knowing what problems needs solved is more important now than ever. If anyone can create a product now then the one who knows what product to actually create is the winner. And who

Think you need to work on your use of AI and not just copy paste 10000 lines and hope for the best.

No you didn’t. You lead a team of gardeners to develop your grand vision. Or you directed an epic movie leading a cast of talented actors bringing your vision to life. You can choose an empowering analogy or a negative one it’s your choice.

Great post. Good to see someone posting something positive for a change about the shift in development.

I’ll keep a close eye out for it.

I think you need to lighten up and adapt the way programmers have adapted since the 50s. There’s been a lot of pomposity over the past ten years around “craft”, you’d think we’re all precious Renaissance artists pining for recognition over
