Once YC companies started having a negative impact on people and communities. Airbnb and gig worker stuff seems to be the start of it.

I deleted almost every app on my phone. I use reddit a bit and hn, but that's all the social stuff i do. Hell i use a pixel and disabled YouTube. It's a bit of a challenge at fist, but much much better after you adjust

Is there a company that has been more damaging to the software industry than these jokers?

In ops we call it monitor blindness. Just constant asks get annoying and folks just want to make it stop

I read it as management only knows how to evaluate and reward change even if its just for the sake of the promotion process

Sure it does. I still nees to know the correct mathematics to type into the calculator and the calculator is deterministic. If you don't understand it without the llm explaining it, how can you be sure you actually understand it? How

We have more code than we need. Proof for me is every "smart" device that worked better before we put a computer in it.

I write code by hand every day. I do the main part of the feature implementation myself and leave comments for the code i want the agent to write. I have some skills and a command that sets the stage to get the agent to fill in the rest

Vibes are not evidence, neither is a curated demo. You need actual measured evidence that has an adversarial review to actually prove something without falling to confirmation bias.

Got any sources for those claims that show how broadly adopted ai is in those countries? I lookes at japan and china and could find a few articles, the anime one cites a single anime made with ai and nothing about its reception and similar

Id say it improved until about 2016, since then the additions have generally made the software worse. More overlays and popups More needlessly verbose navigation instructions Less predictable routes. Thats just the start

They aren't blameless, friends and family only should be the default even if you don't engage much. Why would they default it to a bunch of junk.

I'd agree but we're closer to getting forced into the chair than making a decision that's right for us

Or how you'll get all your data out and imported into your custom system.

Just give multiple options in the config file. Give us the current default, what you now call verbose mode and the previous verbose mode. If Claude is as effective as marketing claims then maintaining all 3 options should be trivially doabl

We could measure it for cocaine and cigarettes couldn't we.

Worse enough it isn't addictive. The goal is non-addictive, whatever changes to whatever part are necessary to hit that goal.

Is that what I should be doing? I'm just encouraging the devs on my team to read designing data intensive apps and setting up time for group discussions. Aside from coding and meetings that is.

This is the bad side of things like OKRs. They push you away from user satisfaction since that harder to measure, coupled with go consequences for missing them. People just force adoption without taking the product signals that come from us

Come on Claude, making it not start isn't the same as fixing the bugs

Do not give a shit about how they excuse doing a bad job. If their tools make them that much more productive, and being the developer of those tools should allow you to make great use of them. Use native for osx Use .Net framework for wind
