You might be able to get your clients to sign something to allow usage, but if you don't, as you say, it doesn't seem wise to vibe code for them. For two reasons: 1. A typical contract transfers the rights to the work. The ownersh

This seems like a really great demo of the agent panel: https://zed.dev/blog/fastest-ai-code-editor It's fast paced, yet it doesn't blush over anything I'd find important. It shows clearly how to use it,

I never use any web interfaces, just hooked up gptel (an Emacs package) to Claude's API and a few others I regularly use, and I just have a buffer with the entire conversation. I can modify it as needed, spawn a fresh one quickly etc.

Definitely my experience. I manage context like a hawk, be it with Claude-as-Google-replacement or LLM integrations into systems. Too little and the results are off. Too much and the results are off. Not sure what Anthropic and co can do ab

On their first day, they will get a lot of accounts, if they syphon data and m set up backdoors quickly, one day could be enough to cause a good chunk of the damage. Saddens me a bit. I like to trust hires and give them pretty wide access t

I use the heck out of the admin. I wouldn't say I'm super experienced with Django, but my solution to users being overwhelmed by doing things there is to build a bit of extra UI just for the stuff they need to do, more Rails style

Can't directly answer your question, since I'm not working at a company that makes any claims about hiring less human engineers because of automation. But I think the central question is not how much of software development can be

That's probably true as long as the workers generally cooperate. But there's also adversarial situations. Hiring would be one example: Companies use automated CV triaging tools that make it harder to get through to a human, and ca

> The economists found for example that "AI chatbots have created new job tasks for 8.4 percent of workers, including some who do not use the tools themselves." For me, the most interesting takeaway. It's easy to think abo

It's a weird example. I think a better example might be the trust factor in service relationships. To my clients, my company is not ... 1. ... the cheapest. I think we're maybe upper middle ground in terms of cost/value, but

Sorry for the late response. No, that's not really what I tried to say. It's rather just a dilemma I was pointing out: If there's more noise and less signal, it's harder for the good people to find good employers _and_ v

I like to joke that Microsoft stuff is always 80%. Works very well for the obvious use cases, but then you are bound to run into weird issues as soon as you run into some edge case they haven't covered. Makes me think it must have some

Based on my limited understanding of analytics, the data set can be full of biases and anomalies, as long as you find a way to account for them in the analysis, no?

All the time. 1. Very easy to find developers for. Python developers are everywhere, and even if they haven't worked with Django, it's incredibly easy to learn. 2. Simple stuff is ridiculously fast, thanks to the excellent ORM and

Not answering your question, but MyPy might be a compromise.

I've tried to vibe code small stuff a few times, but there's not one success story. After about 2-4 hours, I'd hit a wall, and ultimately threw it away, because it wasn't worth the manual programming effort it would have

What I find curious in these AI discussions is how the tables have turned: Better tooling used to be pretty universally appreciated. I've never heard anyone say that IDEs, garbage collection, static code analysis, profilers, debuggers,

There's still a large supply of relatively bad/inexperienced developers looking for a job from what I've seen (currently hiring for a mid level role). The last time I hired developers 2-3 years ago, there was a far better sig

This. If there was some stability in the space, you could empirically develop good practices that probably beat naive practices. But since everything changes every couple of months and since you'll usually want to try different models

Hm, maybe not lower per se (though I can believe that), but less critical (less likely to be work related)?

I wonder why the rollout is specifically over the weekend. I'd personally do something like that Monday to Wednesday rather than Friday to Sunday. It seems like the kind of thing that needs monitoring and quick reactions - can easily g

I wonder to what degree this move would be genuine company strategy, and to what degree it'd just be what the sub headline says: "Is Sam Altman ready to up his rivalry with Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg?"

Tangential, but an entry level developer at 190k USD per year seems nuts, is that really a reasonable number? From a quick search, I find numbers below 100k USD for the bay area, which seems more reasonable. In a well off European country,

The part before "But seriously" was sarcasm. I find it very odd to assume that a professional developer (even if it's not what they would describe as their field) is using it wrong. But it's a pretty standard reply to me

So, your hypothesis is that greed fuels innovation? Those innovating are rarely the ones benefiting financially. I think it rather fuels hustling. The end game of hustling are monopolies, which have little to no interest in innovation. From

Well, TFA appears to be thin on the details, but who says whatever they deploy is phoning home? If you run their model on prem, it wouldn't be a difficult feat to monitor its network traffic. Not to mention limiting it. It would be tri

Well, I meant it in the sense of: You use a tool because you think it's creators really know this space and you can rely on it. To stick to the DropBox example, their users probably trust them to keep file management convenient for the

I agree, it's an implementation detail. What you sell is a solution, and your mode is generally your brand, your existing user base, and any anti competitive shenanigans you manage to get away with. Not so much even the actual quality
