I've tried using Codex and ChatGPT while working on a small SwiftUI app. It's not very good when it comes to newer APIs and features - I imagine due to lack of data about these things. Very often it would rather push something App

What's weird about it? I'm not disputing that it might be fun for vibe coders. Just that they seem to really like using that particular word. I love coding and it is fun for me. Vibe coding on the other hand - not fun at all. It f

> Fun!!!!! I noticed that AI evangelists really love to use word "fun" to describe anything they do with AI. Claw people particularly seem really love to use that word when answering what practical or useful they do with AI age

A bit unrelated to the article, more of a commentary about how many engineers at this point barely write any code or even do code review. It seems to me like a huge amount of engineers/developers in comments are turning into Tom Smykow

I don't think it makes sense to consider top % of the talent - relative to the total amount of engineers I imagine it would be minuscule. It's the rest who will have to deal with shrinking number of positions, higher competition a

Would have to be quite a few years - last time price bump was in 2022 by 10% due to increase in energy costs because of the war in Ukraine. Naturally prices didn't go down.

I'm in the same boat. Too often for me it feels easier to write code that I want to see by myself instead of opening some AI tool where I would have to describe what I need in plain English. After which I'd still have to review th

I'm very curious to see how this will affect the job market. All the recent CS grads, all the coding bootcamp graduates - where would they end up in? And then there's medium/senior engineers that would have to switch how they

I've seen a bunch of interactive toys and visualizations generated by AI in the past year. For some reason they really like monotype "techy" fonts. It's just one of the signals - not the primary one.

Not clearly, but given the world we live in makes me highly suspicious that AI was involved to one degree or another. Plenty of people out there are happy to let AI do most of the work while claiming it as their own.

The author had all these massive articles all on fairly different topics ready to go... and then decided to pump 4 of them in a span of 4 days. If it looks like a duck...

You know what triggered me as likely flag for LLM - the fonts, the style, the abundant comments. Makes me think - what if all of this was written by an LLM agent?

I agree with you. I had done a bit of vibe coding over the weekend. Not once did it feel good. Most of the time it produced things which are close to what I needed, but not quite hitting the mark. Partially probably because I'm not ex

It's true for more guided development approach. But the further you go into vibecode territory, the less you need to know.

Depends on who these humans you're comparing AI code to. I've seen and reviewed enough AI code in the last few months to have formed a solid impression that it's "ok" at best and relies heavily on who guides it - ho

I'm not sure comparing artisanal software to woodworking or organic farming is possible. With woodworking and farming you get as a result some physical goods. Some John Smith that buys furniture can touch nice cherry paneling, apprecia

I don't think 5 years is necessary. I think after two years of this agentic orchestration if you rarely touch code yourself skill will degrade to the point they won't be able to write anything non-trivial without assistance.

Yeah, seems like too many went into this field for money or status not because they like the process. Which is not an issue by itself, but now these people talk about how their AI assistant of choice made them some custom tool in two hours

Agree with the author. I like the process of writing code, typing method names and class definitions while at the same time thinking ahead about overall architecture, structure, how much time given function would run for, what kind of tests

Pretty much completely disagree with the OP. Software Engineering never left, maybe the author moved away from it instead. > Stop wrapping broken legs in silk. Start building things that are yours. This however is deeply wrong for me. An

Would have been awesome if there was step by step visualization where simple color transforms slowly upgraded until you get final result for easier understanding of what each thing is doing. Otherwise quite hard to visualize changes in you

This is really questionable outcome. So you'll have your own custom OS riddled with holes that AI won't be capable of fixing because the context and complexity became so high that running any small bug fix would cost thousands of

Not an OP, but seems like you might be talking about different things. Security could be about not adding certain things/making certain mistakes. Like not adding direct SQL queries with data inserted as part of the query string and ins

I've had a pleasure of using GIMP recently on Mac. One of the worst UX/UI experiences I've had in quite a while. If that's where vibe coding leads to, then Photoshop is very safe from disruption.

Doesn't seem like Microsoft managers care - it's not their core business, so any time anyone complains about issues with GitHub they probably think something along the line of "peasants whining again". Must be nice to be

China at this point has massive economy of scale when it comes to EV, so of course they will try to turn everything into EV. From what I could find, it appears that there's about 100x times more funding that goes into EVs R&D than

One thing about Google is that many anti-scraping services explicitly allow access to Google and maybe couple of other search engines. Everybody else gets to enjoy CloudFlare captcha, even when doing crawling at reasonable speeds. Rules For
