Are not all corporations extractive by nature? Google clearly is. That's obviously not the issue with that -- you don't see those comments on Google's AI announcements.

In this case, you know who claimed it. In most cases, you don't, because Google does not verify identity. It's currently the rage in blackhat SEO: just say you're John Doe from Doeville and competitorsite.com is infringing on

I found that agents help, even if you don't parallelize. Having one agent control another and verify its results against rules you set has worked well for me because the controlling agent has no incentive to cut corners, and the implem

"Do not use react. Do not use tailwind. We will not deploy on vercel." and suddenly things work again, it's magic!

I'm on the other side, and my main tip (at least if there's people like me!) is: avoid the usual AI signs. For one role we got ~70 applications and all CVs looked obviously AI-written. I don't know whether the people did actu

Moats for software/web companies that are entirely "we've built it, it would be too expensive for you to replicate it" are getting much weaker. It's now quick to produce something that at least looks close to an exi

Are you sympathetic to a doctor who specialized in surgery and now always recommends surgery, even for a common cold? Or would you say they are in the wrong job, if they are anywhere but surgery?

Of all the times someone used AI and did not disclose it, I've never found it to be a desire to be better, it was always a desire to do 5 minutes of work and still have a result that looks like you spent multiple hours. Except it only

It was also just plain strange. I don't know what they are doing to squeeze more money out of the tokens they sell, but using jetbrains' AI package always delivered significantly worse results for vs using the providers directly,

Wouldn't the argument be that you'd build separate copies of those services as well? Granted, for banking or government-interactions that isn't feasible, but wouldn't it for many other things? It would likely be more exp

Where is that race to the bottom visible? Surely not in the pricing -- bluehost's intro offers are already expensive (10gb space shared hosting for $3.99 a month -- in 2026?). After a year, it jumps to $11.99 with 12 months terms. That

My experience is that that plainly does not work. I work with developers of both types, and the junior ones who are part of the first group are limited in their ability by experience, but they have an inquisitive mind and don't give up

I understand that point, but I disagree. Automattic controls the process, which keeps a lot of initiatives out because there's no reasonable expectation of improvement unless it aligns with Automattic. I don't believe the project

figma has figma make to do these things, and it's much worse. It can only generate react code, even if you ask it not to. claude design worked great on the first attempt for me, miles ahead of what figma make does.
