What I don't understand with both Muratori/Blow is that they seem to be incredulous that someone wouldn't just make software high quality and fast for the sake of it Like they can't comprehend the fact that these things

Honestly, gravitating more towards books and less internet IMO you can only get so much out of bite-sized content, if you want real understanding you have to engage in deep long-form content

The thing is its all a sliding spectrum between vibe-coding and manually coding and there are trade-offs at every point On one end is huge productivity but bad quality The other end is normal productivity but good quality I land closer to t

I agree in general but I guess a counterargument is that you can't know if its actionable if you don't know about it

Same, I've learned if something is important enough I'll hear about it anyway

meh I have no interest in that type of software dev anyway

Literally none yet people keep stating it like it’s fact Every layoff just automatically attributed to AI even though they have nothing to do with it

Every time I see people say this I think: show me the money? If its so good why aren't you rich?

What does it mean in general for something to be a “claw”?
45.
by ex-aws-dude 2mo ago
I hate to be an HN bikeshedder but why is everything "Claw" recently?

No you don’t get it, I asked it specifically to make sure it’s accurate

I read it but I didn't really get why its so hyped/mindblowing It may just be a Seinfeld Effect for me though I get that in the context of literature its quite a unique story/take but I just felt like the concept of life bein

I randomly read an old book by John von Neumann I found in a thrift shop called “The Computer and The Brain” It’s only like 70 pages and it’s basically just him comparing how computers and neurons work and speculating on some stuff. The gen

The thing is it doesn’t even matter if you are wrong because everyone is doing the same thing No one will blame you for going all in on AI

If you think about it why is language/image even separate from video? Isn’t video + audio all you need?
51.
by ex-aws-dude 3mo ago
Yeah I don’t understand highlighting/marking up books Who actually has time to go back and look at that? It’s like taking photos of fireworks

The problem is you immediately assume studies haven’t thought of that Do you know that is how simplistic these studies actually are?

This gives companies a physical thing to buy to demonstrate they are fully AI-enabled

Yeah but you take it for granted because you've been in the industry so long Obviously its not that exciting to an 18 year veteran

Definitely take the job, amazon is not an endgame place to work but its a really good stepping stone You learn a ton of stuff there as a new grad CS masters degrees are not really a differentiator in the job market, in my experience the exa

The question is does that even matter You may argue what if LLMs are inaccessible but that’s like teachers saying “you won’t always have a calculator”

It’s an age old control systems problem: open loop vs closed loop
