I agree with you! And I’m not trying to romanticize the past! Humans/me wrote slop too. I think we are over-indexing on speed of delivery. I think this is a mistake. The alpha is in speed and quality. Currently, my experience is that h

No where did I say we don’t do agentic dev! Years of experience doesn’t mean much! I will challenge you on ideas. And the idea you are sharing is dangerous and unprofessional. Especially at scale. e.g., we process more than 3.5 billion orde

I work as a professional app developer. And I find this take to be naive. Most of the time when I review code from AI, there is always something to improve. It’s either a maintenance issue. e.g., Opus recommended and implemented a fix for a

Were there cheaper and humane ways to get more employees to use AI? (yes). Did many people JUST burn tokens (goodbart law)? (Yes). Would people revert back to the mean? (I think yes). Do many professionals hate AI because of this push? (Yes

In your examples, I can still find the “for whom”, even if that is several layers deep. I’m trying to understand your position: are you saying the same will be true in the ongoing case, just that we don’t know the connections yet?

From my experience using HN, this feels made up. HN sentiment on AI seems to have only gotten better: with more overly pro-AI or nuanced voices plus more AI topics.

The hype is in what AI delivers (at least so far). I would never create a PR without an AI review. I will ask an AI to write code for me from time to time. But it still has huge gaps in quality. And from time to time, it shows me that it do

I just had a relevant experience. I asked Claude to add “trace(‘$FunctionName’) {}” to all Composable functions in my app. Claude spent some time doing something. In between, I was like shoot, I could just do a deterministic regex match and

While intuition takes a while, I think it can be learned in less than a month or two. This has been my experience. When something gets good enough, someone will create some really good resource on it. Allowing the dust to settle, to me is a

Good luck. I plan on doing something similar once I get my permanent residence later this year.

Personal opinion: I find funerals to be a waste of time and money. Especially, coming from a culture where they are a big event. People spend enormous money on funerals —- money that they wouldn’t help you with while you are alive and strug

Of course. However, the amount of time spent thinking consciously or subconsciously on a doomed project is minimized. The amount of time spent making decisions predicated on having the same job also. I can also savage any expensive holiday

I see. I guess different strokes for different folks. For me, if my job or project is doomed, and my employer knows, I will rather they tell me immediately so I can start figuring out solutions ASAP. It doesn’t matter if it’s the holidays.
