Turns out depending on a cloud service you have no control over for a critical capability - such as coding - is not a good idea. ;-)

- esperent 1mo agoHowever it's not a worse idea than all the other things we rely on cloud services for like banking, healthcare, booking a taxi, ordering food, navigation, communication...
- r_lee 1mo ago;-) as if you're supposed to buy like 8 H200s or something or code by hand is the solution I don't get how this is a gotcha, there simply is no world where everyone has their own self hosted frontier model

- awakeasleep 1mo agoA lot of times you run into senior developers are even staff engineers who have no idea how the big picture works like they don’t know what an IP address is. I bet AI coding leaves them (and even the rest of us!) productive in areas where we’re in way over our heads, and we could just completely sink without it.
- r_lee 1mo agonobody is paying engineers for "capable of", they're paying for performance and results.. if there was no difference in performance or results, nobody would be using LLMs or agent harnesses like claude code
