The newest of those are 20 years old. Let’s be honest. Google was amazing back then, now they’re just an ad-business flailing around in other side quests.

Producing code is an interesting word because obviously they're not typing code anymore. That's where I've landed. I'm somewhere between 10-60x more productive than I used to be. My day cycles between 3-6 different proje

All software engineering is over as we know it. I haven't written a line of code since December 2025.

In the last 20 years, the EU has grown about %1.5. In 2005, the EU accounted for 25% of the global GDP. Now it's about 17%. GDP per capita in the United States is about twice of Europeans. 85k per capital in the US, vs 43k in the EU. T

the quote: "Show me the incentive and I'll show you the outcome" is something that the regulators have never heard. What they see is people burning clothes and they say "we can't do that". The result won't

I'm pretty sure they're docking the ship right now.

The EU is doing everything it can to fail. The only thing that seems to be coming out of the EU in the last 20 years is regulation. It seems to be its only invention and contribution to itself. They have no upper bounds on creativity when i

I'm curious how well it'll work in the real world, but I would be ecstatic if I could ditch all my Whisper apps. - transcribed using MacWhisper.

This guy has fabricated things in the past, I would take this with a grain of salt.

I echo this entirely, brother. I think a lot of us developers have a lot of ideas that were unrealized, and now we have this opportunity to do it. And any time an LLM is sitting idle, it feels like we're wasting our time. Why aren&#x27

The AI-Maxing copy on the website kind of gave it away. Doesn't mean is not a great app though!

I own a Tesla not a Rivian, but I agree with you here. As a software engineer, I find CarPlay to be a tack-on solution. For that, it works well, but only because the base infotainment systems on almost every OEM are utter trash. Something t

It's just the first layer and there are multiple layers underneath this that we don't know about. As a side note, I have a pet theory that one of the reasons that OpenAI and Anthropic are okay with the latest models not being rele

Same. I asked it my Pac-Man question and it was the first to DNF. It just goes off getting confused about how to design the map for 15 minutes and then times out.

I gave it my standard: "Make a pac-man game in a single html page" It went off and argued with itself for 20 minutes about how to lay out the map and then timed out.

I’m a huge fan, I’ve been wanting to know into the internals. Look forward to digging in.

I work in the media industry, there hasn't been any hiring in years, since before covid and certainly not after. Sometimes there are layoffs and they shake up middle management, but my boss doesn't even want to be come a SVP becau

A lot of the copy also looks like AI. The text (especially the "About" section, key concerns, and Erin’s quote) reads like strong AI-generated or heavily AI-edited copy. It has that clean, structured, persuasive style common in to

Outside of specialized apps for work, I think ninety-percent of apps will probably go away and become MCP plugins. I would much prefer it.

Maybe I'm weird, but I find AI incredibly useful. I've barely used Google for over 2 years. I barely driven myself in a year. I haven't written code in 6 months.

Yes. And as the models get better, it works better. But at one point you do have to understand the code because it's also just guessing as to what your actual intentions are. It doesn't know what mess you want to clean up. A lot o

Pretty much. We're intensely vibe coding something that has gone through so many requirement changes. The code has become very gnarly. I took a stab at basically one prompt rewrite of the whole thing. And it wasn't there, but it w

It's like they TRYING to get people to move to GPT 5.4, which I trust far more at coding. It's just slightly more annoying as an agent with codex.

Wow, that sounds like you have a astoundingly terrible EVP.

5.4 is smarter than Opus when it comes to really figuring out a problem. Codex agentic stuff takes forever though.
