I’m sure there are many of those, but like everything, there are tiers. I’m sure we’ll get something similar in SWE, but my hope is that you’ll still be able to choose to be a high tier engineer if you wanted to

People, sometimes weirdly called by their animal name, humans, do have memories of their thought process. We can reach back to those memories to explain why we made a decision. Sometimes we don’t remember and speculate instead. Most of the

In my experience it’s impossible to foresee all the micro decisions that reality will demand. IMO it’s one reason to not use waterfall, which is very similar to what you described

Claude won’t tell you why it did something. Instead, it will generate a probable explanation. The two are very different

You really put my thoughts into words, thank you!

Yes you can. Sometimes it’ll find them, sometimes it won’t. I find myself having to use Claude to untangle its own mess piece by piece, a as it charged full steam ahead with the design we made together. However, not everything can be forese

Are you working on complex systems that serve many users in production? Do you actually save time?

As a developer you are more akin to a car mechanic, who’s still expected to know how the engine works even a century after it was invented, rather than a driver, who is just the user in this parallel.

Your vouching for centralization of knowledge, and even understanding, which I think is a very bad idea. It’s not like the rest of us are becoming specialized at something else - knowledge, in the broad sense, is the foundation of all skill

I agree with all of that. However, that’s not to say that many designer jobs will be going away, simply because for many cases, cost beats quality. We’ll just have more things with a much lower quality. You can compare it with mass manufact

> this won't replace Figma or designers If every designer takes less time to do their job, you need less designers. There’s no getting around that simple math.

These populists, so called leaders, don't represent everyone and are hated by many. In war everyone loses, and you seem to ignore the fact that there are two sides here. Normative people don't wake up in the morning wanting to mur

Ok, so the Iranian regime itself published this news? And you don’t even question it? Seems like we’re on such polar ends, there’s no hope in discussion.

No, these things do not constitute a genocide. Genocide is the purposeful extermination of a people. What you’re describing are other alleged war crimes. While it’s a catchy and horrifying word that’s very useful against Israel, it’s dishon

Israel is not threatening to annihilate any country, while Iran is vowing to. How can you even make this comparison?

That’s not why they’re being bombed. They’re being bombed because they strive for nukes and ICBMs with ever larger range, all the while calling “death to america”. P.S. downplaying their behavior to “distasteful”, is, well, distasteful.

Israel is interested in the fall of the Iranian regime, a thing that can only happen if the Iranian people will rebel against it. The last thing Israel wants is to have the Iranians rally behind the state’s flag. Based on this cold calculat
