Hands down, the urge of product to assume that codebase is stable and as nimble as a greenfield project, and so any feature can be build with minimal “we just need to make a small change in feature X to do Y”, while never allowing for resou

Have you noticed that LLMs leave comments in the code that make it harder for it to self correct? If you notice some unexpected behavior and ask it to explain, it tells you what it did, and if you tell it to implement it differently, even w

1. You're probably correct that some statelessness is lost or I'm creating ambiguity. My concept of it is that you don't need to update the token and you don't need to maintain state elsewhere (ie. a list). Rotating the

"which we'd likely do anyway for authorization checks". Assuming you are using a session token, authentication != authorization. You will eventually hit your authorization logic to check if the user can perform action X. It m

Maybe I should add a comment there, but this is a compressed example. Everything from getUser onwards does not need to be in the validateToken, it can be done downstream, closer to where you access user data. It does not need to be a separa

Even then, AI can still be helpful. My point is if you're going to use it, use it right, and not with the intent to deceive.

A JWT is usually signed, with a secret you keep in your app. The statelessness of JWT is that it contains all the information you need to verify it. You do not need to ask a db if the token is there and valid. Storing a user's secret,

You don't actually have to do a db trip to get a user secret and revoke a token. A token comes in, and you can store the secret in the same place you store your application secret. Because you do need to store it, cache it, whatever. T

This is where the absolutism of let agents to 100% of the work fails. You get adversarial agents pulling all reverences into a table, they might miss some, so run this a few times. Then have another set of agents, with skills like web brows

So I’m wondering that the end goal and usefulness here is. Is the premise that AI co authored = slop and therefore is bad? And if this succeeds we will start discriminating against co authored code or highly AI co authored code? As an examp

We agreed to its value, and it can be spent and in your limited life span it translates to a drastically different life experience. So, fake money is still money. Not making any judgements on the topic, but waving this truth away doesn’t wo

Sometimes I see these conclusions and I wonder what we’re doing at these research centers because this seemed obvious to be when I was still a teenager. We are not more wealthy, because the earth has the same resources it had before. We did

RN the market is not you. The amount of investment being pushed to AI dwarfs what you collectively spend. So the market now is driven by the IPO dream where you'll hold the bag, jobless.

Over editing is one of the biggest tells of junior engineers. Often, a very big task is reduced to a 1 line change if you spend the time to understand the core problem. I feel like this was one of the most valuable skills an engineer could

I think HN is the crowd that values MVPs. And LLMs are the best tool to quickly materialize an idea. So I think we should judge these submissions on merit and not on our collective rejection of reality. If they succeed I’m sure (or hope) th
