I had to see if it was a joke. Oh, my.

And this is only the beginning. Wait until they send you to the insane asylum for talking about coding by hand.

  There is a pretty intense campaign to shift the overton window around coding where anchoring is used repeatedly. When Jensen Huang says you need to spend $500k on tokens per developer per year he knows it will be perceived as bullshit, but by setting such a high he's subtly making spending $0 seem abnormal and irrational. This article does the same thing. It's the same reason most companies have an ultra deluxe $150 /month plan nobody buys.

I thought Hacker News was a place where you could share your views and discuss them with different people, but your comment seems to show that it now became a Facebook comment section. Thank you for your eye-opening contribution.

  Well, they did share their view and it's being discussed, so what's the problem?

    the problem is that it has no substance at all. it is the equivalent of "your opinion sucks", it doesn't elaborate on it, so there is nothing to discuss either. beyond _this_, which in itself isn't much i'll give you that.

      When I saw the title, I actually didn't have much emotion beyond curiosity. But then after checking thus comment, it piqued my interest, made me step back and really consider the ramifications of how we got here. And then yes I became depressed also. Anyway, I got value out of it, comments dont have to increase net factual information to be meaningful, because we are all capable of reflection.

Python from scratch now means writing python without LLMs? It's like wild swimming all over again. The shark is being jumped.

I like how your comment can be interpreted in two completely opposite manners. Either it is depressing that coding by hand is something curious, worthy of blogging about, or you are an AI-maximalist deriding lowly meat powered coding. Based on your post history I'll assume the former interpretation :)
