Don't tell the Posthog guys about this. Far too much collaboration going on here!!!

Type checking is done statically without running the program. You don't need to execute any run-time logic to perform a check like this. What you are suggesting is a much, much weaker form of verification that doesn't require any

This is such a massive misunderstanding of the book. Have you even read it? The developer needs to think so that the user doesn't have to...

Lol, software development at a modern startup isn't even in the upper half of applied intelligence in software engineering much less global human activity/achievement. The "problems" most startups are solving are simple

Is there any way to start banning posts like this if they don't actually link the codebase? There's no point at all in engaging with something like this without a way to judge the real outcomes that have/have not been achieve

You also display either a very basic misunderstanding or willful ignorance. There's no gambling involved - investing is not dumb chance. There are real companies behind these purchases with real expectations of future growth and thus i

Not really. It's on the people asserting the positive (that LLMs do improve productivity for sufficiently experienced engineers) to prove it. In the absence of proof, the null hypothesis is the default.

Complete nonsense. Your understanding of investment is entirely flawed. Dividends are one element of the value of a stock, but there are many, many others. Chiefly, the expectation that the stock will rise in value such that you can later s

Man, talk about out the opposite of a growth mindset. What's that called? Stagnation mindset? Mediocrity mindset? How depressing. People can change and get better at things. They do it all the time. Plenty of people _do_ actively think

Seems like you should know that you're spouting bullshit if that's the case.

It goes without saying that someone needing money that badly wouldn't do what the OP here did. Stop trying to be right and start trying to see the world for what it is. It'll help you do better.

Why would you ever want to work somewhere that clearly employs such unqualified individuals? And not only that, but allows those individuals to be the face of their company to prospective hires? A company's interview process tells you

I have measured it myself within my organization, and I know many peers across companies who have done the same. No, I cannot share the data (I wish I could, truly), but I expect that we will begin to see many of these types of studies emer

No, it's because reading code is slower than writing it. The only way these tools can possibly be faster for non-trivial work is if you don't give a shit enough about the output to not even read it. And if you can do that and stil

That's precisely how most companies use interns. You have no idea what you're talking about.

"A really fucking bad idea"? It's not one word, but it is the most apt description.

Most people who injure themselves exercising go to PT and then go straight back to exercising because they know how important it is and how good it feels. You're physically lazy and unmotivated, we get it. Hiding behind "but maybe

Or, they'll waste their time on trivial nonsense and get nothing useful done. Which is seeming more and more likely every day.

It absolutely counts as a POC app until it's production grade, deployed, being used by people, maintained over time, etc. This doesn't mean that it's not useful, or that you shouldn't be happy with what the LLM built. I

Share the codebase and what you're doing or, I'm sorry, you're just another example of what I laid out above. If you honestly believe that "agents" are making you better than Goole SWEs then you severely need to tak

It's always POC apps in js or python, or very small libraries in other popular languages with good structure from the start. There are ways to make them somewhat better in other cases (automated testing/validation/linting bei

Unfortunately, I am not a time lord, so I don't know. But I do know the definitions of these words, and that is what they are. You are free to argue with someone else about the true meaning of time. A single measurement can _never_ be

by _se 1y ago
Nope, it is not. A single measurement cannot be precise. Precision is a measure of how close multiple measurements are to one another. Accuracy is how close a single measurement is to its true value. A clock that can measure a point in time

Addiction is addiction. You see this a lot in endurance sports (triathlon etc.): people can get addicted to training and racing, and despite these being "healthy" things in general, their families, relationships, and lives outside

Stupid answer, there is nothing efficient on any axis about blindly consuming incorrect information.

No, not most people. But some people are experimenting. No one has found anything revolutionary yet, but there are some useful applications to be sure.
