That's why almost no one notable in tech (both software and hardware) is taking this stance, or still has this stance with the current state of LLMs. Even the extremely talented devs who personally don't use LLMs don't have t

That has to be the silliest reason to hate AI I've seen yet, next to the "don't you know how many gallons of water are being used up!!!" Replace "AI" in that sentence with any rapidly evolving tech: social netw

Who's hackernews? This is one of the most AI-optimist/AI-aligned websites on the internet. My experience with the people around me are that most people love AI. When I go to coffee shops with people studying, I see people using ch

Good. Pixel phones are the single most overrated phone you can get today. They've managed to convince people to pay $800 (usually with some discounts to be fair) for what's essentially a $400-450 mid range phone. Even if nothing w

Googlebook is cringe? It's just the name of the company, calm down. They used to have something called the pixelbook, which is the most generic name you can possible have. Neither of these names are unarguably better than the other. If

Neovim supports the mouse by the way. I'm a GUI user too but using helix-mode (like vim-mode but IMO more intuitive) in my GUI editor, zed, gives me the benefits of both.

Helix, although a bit barebones by default, has been so much nicer for me recently than any of the vi editors so far. Love the default motions so much more, and having multi-cursor adds so much to the day to day experience. Helix mode in ze

The masses don't know shit. Claude pro in my experience runs into usage limits over 2x as fast as even ChatGPT plus. Both using their respective CLIs, on a relatively small project.

Is gemini really better than gpt 5.5 currently? I haven't seen much sentiment along that direction.

I mean, obviously. I assume some people here have never programmed a single useful thing even once in their lives.

Exactly, how is an open, browser-based standard any worse than having to download an executable (often limited to mac/windows only) with opaque permissions? The fact they have to be installed/uninstalled too is another inefficienc

In the context of a tech CEO, any degree past a bachelor's has very, very little relevance in the real world. "Only a bachelor's" is a ridiculous comment, and incredibly out of touch.

You're allowed to like both. Antinote is very unique, and devs should be allowed to charge for their work if it's a quality app with a really polished UX. Also, its not theirs.

The entire docs is gpt/claude-esque. It's gonna take a significant amount of work rewriting it all, all for a free tool. I think it fits fine with the type of app this is. Sure some people might be slightly put off, and there is a

That's one from the good old days. I was a full on logitech fan back then too, it's sad what the company has turned into.

I personally think the opencode and kilo CLI have great UX, certainly better (and easier to use) than the web versions of both. A lot of the recent TUI apps are really not old-school in any way. Not all apps need the feature-set of a browse
