   All code is expressive, if a person emitted it, it is expressive about their state of mind, their values and their context.

   Compiled code is meant for the machine, Written code is for other humans.

   Ya i hate the idea that theres a difference, Code to me has always been as expressive about a person as normal prose. LLMs you lose a lot of vital information about the programmers personality. It leads to worse outcomes because it makes th

   I am perfectly willing to take that risk. Hell i'll even throw ten bucks on it while we are here.

   I love this trend of posting vibe coded in a day slop apps to every place on the internet. Really makes me want to be here.

   These projects would rather miss out on a few good people to stop the bad ones over the alternative.

   You can already hardcode the sha of a given workflow in the ref, and arguably should do that anyways.

   I will do what i know gives me the best possible and fastest outcome over the long term, 5-10 year period. And that remains largely neovim and by hand. The process of typing code gives me a deeper understanding of the project that lets me d

    > Anthropic is successfully coding Claude using Claude. Claude is one of the buggiest pieces of shit I have ever used. They had to BUY the creators of bun to fix the damn thing. It is not a good example of your thesis.

    Yep, its a rather depressing realization isnt it. Oh well, life moves on i suppose. I think we realistically have a few years of runway left though. Adoption is always slow outside of the far right of the bell curve.

    > In most teams, coding - reading, writing, and debugging code - used to be the part that took engineers the most time, but that is no longer the bottleneck. This is just a blatant lie lmao, this is the core tenant that all these AI take

    Something being successful and something being a high quality product with good engineering are two completely different questions.

    "there are security flaws in the 'tell an llm with god perms to do arbitrary things hub'" Is such an obvious statement it loses all relevant meaning to a conversation. It's a core axiom that no one needs stated.

    If this overly impacts you as an "engineer" beyond "oh thats minorly annoying i'll go do it another way" please do some soul searching.

    I've always said every line is a liability, its our job to limit liabilities. That has largely gone out the window these days.

    Ya, the post is almost laser focused on "SaaS" as a concept. Which is fine, but there are MANY other types of software that will see different effects.

    Anthropic is kinda odd in that it seems to be still largely a research company that also has some products they sorta care about.

    My core uses are 100% racing the model in yolo mode to find a bug. I win most of the time but occasionally it surprises me. Then also switching arch approaches quickly when i find some code strategies that are not correctly ergonomic. Split

    I mean yes, i am speaking for myself. I am drowning in mountains of LLM slop patches lol. I WISH people were using LLMs as "just another tool to generate code, akin to a vim vs emacs discussion."
