Thank you for the thorough reply! I also appreciate that you recognized my question as good faith (and my apologies, based on other replies I should have been less brief to avoid misinterpretation.) It seems my definition of "vibe codi

Yes, I'm familiar with these talking points. I didn't mention clean code or solid or frameworks or anything like that. However, the poster explicitly said they don't do what you said (EDIT: I misinterpreted some of these): RE

To be clear, I didn't mean this as an anti-AI gotcha. They also said: > We get feature requests, improvements, ideas, feedback So maybe I misunderstood, but it sounded like the design was external (and based on an existing product t

What are you basing “it delivers more value to customers” on?

Oh haha, kind of embarrassing on my part. Thank you!

What is Halo 14-39? Google wasn’t helpful for me.

Quick fyi that your website is “zoomed in” on mobile safari and a little difficult to use (Apologies if it’s just my device) I’ll take a closer look on my desktop later today, I love seeing new programming languages. Sounds interesting!

You know the radiologist you're responding to is a real person? Your last line seems needlessly callous.

> If the choice is meaningless, why defend it? > And if the choice is meaningful, why this? Well said. So many of these painful "discussions" could be ended quickly if people would just honestly answer these :)

Why are you passionately defending this? I doubt the author cares much, it's clearly an example that came about through vibe coding. It's not core to the tech/product, people think it's off-putting, why not change it? Ha

Sure, and he's probably not being censored on those.

I had a coworker who occasionally clearly wouldn't mode-switch from LLM to person mode when asking me questions over slack, which was very jarring. They were normally were personable and friendly, so it was obvious when it happened. Gr

I consider myself someone who takes it seriously, and have spent time and resources fighting for change. But it’s wholly unrelated to this particular thread, phenomenon, and story. So having a little “ha ha” moment accomplishes nothing towa

This kind of hamfisted snark tends to make people take the actual and justified criticism of police less seriously.

The South does have this problem. But pretending it's /only/ the South does no favors to people who are disenfranchised elsewhere. A quick google will show that it has been a nationwide problem: https://en.wikipedi

Why is it grossly insensitive? Sensory issues are widely documented and studied. It's probably most well known as part of autism, but it's also seen in PTSD, schizophrenia, CTE, etc. People with these conditions literally cannot l

Right - and iirc the bottom of the 1% is somewhere around 700k. Still a ton of money, but very very far off from a billion.

Not that I know of. And I generally prefer written pieces to podcasts :). The show notes for episode 2 have good references (no fun commentary though): https://www.bisonemojipodcast.com/show-notes

Did you read the article? The author doesn’t say anything like that. It’s pretty clear this was mostly a fun idea with a bit of “could be useful in this scenario” motivation, which they mention came from reading a short story.

Alex Schmidt, a humor writer (formerly of Cracked and others) did this process for the bison emoji. I enjoyed his “miniseries” about it: https://www.bisonemojipodcast.com/

Oh for sure, I think we’re on the same page. I wasn’t trying to change your mind on anything, just adding my two cents :)

I would agree with that. Whenever I’ve delegated more than what feels like ~80% to the agent (“vibe coding”, I suppose) is when it starts feeling bloated, messy, and bug-prone. On the flip side, having a design written ahead of time, ideall

Interesting - I’ve been thinking that when people say “writing code” they mean figuring out abstractions, logic, reasoning. Without that, what’s left? The syntax? Realizing we might not all have the same thing in mind when someone says “wri

You’re not. The originally mentioned “big companies” are.

That seems like a bad faith read to me. Nobody is defending it, just pointing out the irony / hypocrisy. Two things can be bad, and they can be related.

Right, and even if we assume Lebron accomplished his entire basketball career by himself and that his salary is 100% “earned”, his salary didn’t net him a billion dollars.
