I outright disagree; we know how LLMs work

ah I forgot digital components are not real world things

that’s true of analyzing individual atoms in a combustion engine — yet I doubt you’d claim we don’t know how they work also this went from “we can’t analyze” to “we can’t analyze reliably [without a lot of effort]” quite quickly

I highly recommend turning off watch history on YouTube. it stops recommending you videos entirely; just watch what you subscribe to

reads like it was written on a computer…do you have an actual criticism? the article is lazy? wrong?

by dkdcio 10mo ago
why?

CLIs are really good when you can use them. self-documenting, agents already have shell tools, they tend to solve fine-grained auth, etc. feels like the right layer of abstraction for remote APIs

??? my point is someone who doesn’t know the first thing about me called me naive and made bold claims about my future that I’m certain are wrong; time will tell but there’s nothing of substance to discuss from their comment, hence my reply

I’m saying if every generation has old men screaming “society is collapsing”, they aren’t right, even when they’re locally “right” (broken clock right twice a day) I’m all for hearing well-reasoned arguments; presenting pithy quotes as fact
105.
by dkdcio 10mo ago
fair criticism; didn’t mean this as an ad hominem but rather a summarization of (as the comment I replied to points out) this genre of article that keeps coming up (and not just for programming); it’s exhausting mindset to see repeatedly an

I think it’s an unfortunate typo…”old” => “ago”?

> situation they can't yet understand you’re wrong right here — I understand. you’re just speaking nonsense and bullshit; you sound naive to me

by dkdcio 10mo ago
they were not right and I promise when I’m old, I will not have this attitude. it’s one of my least favorite types of people; and that’s precisely my point, old men have been saying society is collapsing since ancient times, yet here we are

old man claims society collapsing; back in his day…

totally fair. I do think a lot of the learnings remain relevant (stuff I learned back in April is still roughly what I do now), and I am increasingly seeing people share the same learnings; tips & tricks that work and whatnot (i.e. I th

uh it proves the original comment I responded to is extremely misleading (which is my only point here); CEO did not say 90% of developers would be replaced, at all

it’s wild that engineers need months or years to properly learn programming languages but dismiss AI tooling after one bad interaction

you’re once again cutting the quote short — after “all of the code” he has more to say that’s very important for understanding the context and avoiding this rage-bait BS we all love to engage in edit: sorry you mostly included it paraphrase
116.
by dkdcio 10mo ago
that’s not what he claimed, just to be clear. I’m too lazy to look up the full quote but not lazy enough to not comment this is A) out of context B) mis-phrased as to entirely misconstrue the already taken-out-of-context quote I think it wa

how accurate are these system prompt (and now soul docs) if they’re being extracted from the LLM itself? I’ve always been a little skeptical

genuinely asking, how do you network to get a job? esp. if you’re a new grad where do you network? what do you network with these other humans on? I do think I could get a job from my network because I’ve worked in the industry for years an

do you have any evidence that the author used a LLM? focusing on the content, instead of the tooling used to write the content, leads to a lot more productive discussions I promise you cannot tell LLM-generated content from non-LLM generate

counter example: me! autocorrect, spam filters, search engines, blurred backgrounds, medical image processing, even revenue forecasting with logistic regression are “AI” to me and others in the industry I started my career in AI, and it cer
