I read the post. I don’t agree with the “people are born to do one thing” mindset. There’s a lot of possibilities out there for everyone. I do identify with this OP fellow somewhat, except that I usually don’t code for fun on nights and wee

I don’t think anyone’s true calling is coding. That’s like saying you really like the act of writing, so much that you’d become a stenographer or a typist or something where you do zero higher level thinking and just absent mindedly press b

I do literally enjoy working with AI sometimes, other times it is hell. But sometimes coding by hand is hell, too, usually when working on other people’s extremely hacky and procedural code.

This is a great reason not to identify too much with your work. I have enjoyed AI because it has reminded me that my real calling is art, and that I should be doing that at 8 pm, not coding

I used to believe in alert fatigue, because you’re frequently told to repeat the line: if you have too many alerts, eventually everyone will stop paying attention to them. I have tons of alerts at work. They go to specialized slack channels

No idea. I would just assume whatever they’re doing there gets shouted down in short order by the locals who are known for being kind hearted, incredibly naive, and violent.

Why would you believe a tech CEO who has a vested interest in the untruth but can skirt fiduciary duties by speaking cleverly.

In my opinion it seems like a very unprofitable service propped up by investor money trying to capture market share. Or, as I would say if I were Bugs Bunny, “Duck Season”

If Waymo is still operating there by the end 2027 I’ll eat my hat.

Why? Are fearing the inevitable torching of one of these or fooling yourself into believing that waymo wont take over the world?

This is what I do 3-4 nights a week. I sleep pretty well if I stick to that and don’t drink a ton in one sitting.

I’m so much more of a quick huddle/sync up rather than a meeting with 10 people who each speak (in the best case) 10% of the time. Having standing meetings for war and feasting (war being sprint planning, feasting being retro/demo

I wouldn’t say it’s terrible. I wouldn’t say it’s a huge step forward in terms of quality compared to what I’ve seen before from AI

I dunno. If I work on GitHub and I say “obscure subsystem X” has been breached, it’s no more useful than the level of specificity that Vercel has already given (“some customer environments have been compromised”)

It’s really funny to train your AI on the data of failed companies. My coworker made a similar joke that if we trained an AI on our data they’d think our core business is helping dumbass users reset their passwords or fixing linting errors.

This is horribly written but largely true.

Why would AI cause inflation? If anything the drop in cost of labor should be massively deflationary.

Just sanity checking - if I only ever install axios in a container that has no secrets mounted in to its env, is there any real way I can get pwned by this kind of thing?

Seems… improbable. There will certainly be less of us, but the fact remains that nobody wants to debug this shite vibecoded apps companies are pushing, and some simply are not able because of skill atrophy and perverse incentives to use AI

If you’re lazy at promoting the machine (“boss mode”) then you get bad/lazy results. If you’re clever with it, then you get more clever results. None of that points to any sort of interiority, and that is the category error you’re maki

I really feel like this point is being lost in the whole discussion, so kudos for reiterating it. LLM’s can’t be “woke” or “aligned” - they fundamentally lack a critical thinking function that would require introspection. Introspection can

I catch enough of these weird things where I don’t fully understand why it chose to do something, but understand that there’s a simpler way, where I tend to be skeptical of using it for anything I couldn’t do myself but am just too lazy to

I agree. There will be some companies that cannot effectively use AI to slash headcount and become more efficient. There will be those who cut too deep and are burned by it. There will be those who spend millions on AI consultants who don’t

In retrospect, it was crazy hearing stories about how SF UX designers would be paid $250 to essentially do what Figma does now.

If you wanted to tell such a story, you’d have to find examples of companies spending bazillions on new AI tooling, but failing to hit their top level OKRs. I suspect there will be at least a few of these by the end of 2026 - even a great t
