> You think OAI, Amazon etc can freely put large amounts of money into this for 5-10 years? Won't matter. The Chinese models will be running on potatoes by then and be better than ever.

I don't know what terrible lawyers were hired to draft these "many" documents, but please share some examples.

I revisited the site and noticed that the testimonials section is now deleted. What a punk. Please do not engage with this fraudulent clown-show of an app.

The avatars in the "testimonials" are all fakes by pravatar.cc, so take that into consideration. The site is bull shit.

Which is why I love it. It's going to be very disappointing if it gets reigned in just because 0.1% of the population is too unstable to use these new word calculators.

I drop a lot of F-bombs and other unpleasantries when I talk to the robots, so I'd rather not.

> The vibe coded thing might even be useful - that does not make it impressive though. Then "impressive" shouldn't even be the benchmark. If someone gifted me $10K, I'm not going to care if they earned it in a competi

A big point of seeing a tailor is getting yourself fitted for custom clothing that is specifically made just for you. As someone who's bought $200 off-the-rack suits and $2,000 tailor-made suits, there's a world of difference betw

I don't know what kind of work he's doing that doesn't require actually reading the code to ensure it's appropriately maintainable, but more power to him. I actually like knowing what the hell my code is doing and that i

I really despise that people like you ruined em dashes for the rest of us who have enjoyed using them.

An idea I like to bounce around is that everyone at the highest offices of power (not going to define that here) should be forced to live in monastic conditions during the term in which they hold power. You are fed, clothed, and housed by t

There's a subset of people whose identity is grounded in the fact that they put in the hard work to learn things that most people are unable or unwilling to do. It's a badge of honor, and they resent anyone taking "shortcuts&

We just have a magnetic whiteboard on the refrigerator and write down things we need to buy when we run low/out. A true modern marvel, and no AI bot required!

Target undeserved businesses with niche problems that have traditionally been ignored by tech companies because those markets have always been considered "too small" to be worthwhile.

Why would any big software company need to care? There are so many small businesses with unique problems with no current off-the-shelf software solutions because they've always been too niche to justify the time and expense of bespoke

I don't care about technology for what it is. I care about it for what it can do. If I can achieve what I want by just using plain English, I'm going to achieve what I want faster and more thoroughly enjoy the process. Just my two

I accept there are productivity gains, but it's hard to take "10x" seriously. It's such a tired trope. Is no one humble enough to be a meager 2.5x engineer?

Me too! Came on YouTube feed today. Blown the fuck away. I Google Strudel REPL to learn more and found this thread as well. :) So stoked to play with this.

> Do any career software engineers here see more than a 10% boost to their coding productivity with LLMs? No, I just put in less effort to arrive at the same point and do no more.

Maybe, but as someone who's done a 4-month backpacking stint, I was over it after 1 month, so I think even just that amount of time is enough to make an impact psychologically. By month 3, I was acclimated to it, but still eager to be

This makes me less excited about the future of video, not more. It's technically impressive, but all so very soulless. When everything fake feels real, will everything real feel fake?

To be fair, I'm not sure I'd want to be friends with someone who gets into street fights at 4:00 a.m. My cut-off would be midnight.

Guess it boils down to personality, but I personally love it. I got into coding later in life, and coming from a career that involved reading and writing voluminous amounts of text in English. I got into programming because I wanted to buil
