EU GDPR has very little enforcement. So while the regulation in theory prevents that, in practice you can just ignore it. If you're lucky a token fine comes up years down the line.

My advice is that there's a big difference between "software engineering" as a career where you're employed by companies and "software engineering" where you're delivering solutions for yourself or clien

It's also a ton of security-sensitive code that parses untrusted data in a memory-unsafe language.

You need to bring something to the table that would make it worthwhile for an engineer to work for you instead of doing it themselves. That something can be money, or connections, or prospective customers.

There's a difference between documentation and LLMs. An LLM can be your own personal tutor and answer questions related to your specific code in a way no documentation can. That is extremely helpful until you master the programming lan

True, but with every other article on HN being about AI nowadays I assumed there was something to it.

Note: the "agent" the title refers to has nothing to do with an AI/LLM agent. Originally I thought this had something to do with an AI agent, as if someone put an AI agent in charge of identifying dark web pictures for clues.

Some crypto bros wanted to squat on the various names of the project (Clawdbot, Moltbot, etc). The author repeatedly disavowed them and I fully believe them, but in retrospect I wonder if those scammers trying to pump their scam coins unwit

There's been some crypto shenanigans as well that the author claimed not to be behind... looking back at it, even if the author indeed wasn't behind it, I think the crypto bros hyping up his project ended up helping him out with t

They make it mandatory to accept tracking for targeted advertising (or pay, which itself requires providing personal information). This is not compliant with the GDPR.

This is highly region-dependent. In the US the door close button is required to work in "fire service" mode, so that's why the button is always there. Outside of fire service the button most likely will work, just that it

It's purely there to provide a signal to the oxygen waster product manager who is pushing the obnoxious "feature" in the first place. Their KPIs are not only "positive" engagement with the feature but also lack of &

Fair, but in this case you'd still expect LLMs to be a massive boon to startups wanting to compete with the established players? I'm not seeing any of that happening either, which I'd expect if the AI productivity claims were

To a non-technical individual IBM is still seen as a reputable brand (their consulting business would've been bankrupt long ago otherwise) and they will absolutely pay attention.

Why is that bad? You write better code when you actually understand the business domain and the requirement. It's much easier to understand it when you get it direct from the source than filtered down through dozens of product managers

Bold move. Not because it's wrong, but because it risks initiating the collapse of the AI bubble and the whole "AI is gonna replace all skilled work, any day now, just give us another billion". Seems like IBM can no longer wa

There's no definitive way to tell if some code is written by AI or not; thus their statement doesn't have to be true. Usage of AI itself is nebulous, it could mean anything from OpenClaw-style automated agents to someone prompting

Edited. I'm not strictly saying this was caused by AI, but more of a general point that AI is really good at producing crap work which would make the generator spin faster.
