We still have performance reviews and are fired. There’s a human that is responsible. “It’s AI all the way down” is either nonsense on its face, or the industry is dead already.

Then who is responsible when (not if) that code does horrible things? We have humans to blame right now. I just don’t see it happening personally because liability and responsibility are too important

> But the aha moment for me was what’s maintainable by AI vs by me by hand are on different realms. So maintainable has to evolve from good human design patterns to good AI patterns. How do you square that with the idea that all the code

The articles approach matches mine, but I've learned from exactly the things you're pointing out. I get the PLAN.md (or equivalent) to be separated into "phases" or stages, then carefully prompt (because Claude and Codex

The depressing truth is most I know just run all these tools in /yolo mode or equivalents. Because your coworkers definitely are, and we're stack ranked, so it's a race (literally) to the bottom. Just send it... (All this act

What about for analysis/planning? Honestly I've been using thinking, but if I don't have to with Opus 4.6 I'm totally keen to turn it off. Faster is better.

Benchmarks are basically straight up meaningless at this point in my experience. If they mattered and were the whole story, those Chinese open models would be stomping the competition right now. Instead they're merely decent when you u

My current bugbear is how art is held up as creativity and worthy of societal protection and scorn against AI muscling in on it While the same people in the same comments say it’s fine to replace programming with it When pressed they talk

Same, sadly. I’ve done far more than my part, and even my direct family hasn’t, let alone the rest of the country, the world. I only hope I can have a decent life until it ends, and I hope it takes slightly longer than I think it will.

Those are so funny that I was forgetting to breathe as I was laughing so hard, man that's excellent haha. Thanks for sharing them, even if we are cooked as a society...

They've decided that the money they'll make is too important, who cares about externalities... It's quite depressing.

They absolutely take shortcuts and resort to ugly hacks. My AGENTS.md is filled with specific lines to counter all of them that come up.

Oh gosh anyone who thinks LLMs make firmware free haven’t seriously tried to use it for firmware engineering then.

What gets deemed “adult” is incredibly random as far as I can tell, some of our servers/messages have triggered it, but no porn or anything is shared in them.

I am. Though I'm also more than happy to pass blame around for all involved, not just them.

Sensor ambiguity is straight up useful as it can allow you to extract signals that neither sensor can fully capture. This is like... basic stuff too, absolutely wild how he's the richest person in the world and considered this absolu

Just send it bro (but honestly for a lot of websites and web apps you really can just send it, the stakes are very low for a lot of what most people do, if they're honest with themselves)

No, the AI writes far less secure code than I do to start, even with the SotA models and careful prompting/detailed plans. You’ve moved the goalposts so far that you’re now talking about a different game altogether.

Yes I really do, because this has been a solved problem for a while. Also it’s necessary to get right because retro fitting it later is a pain.

Yeah I’m baffled why people are surprised that senior+ engineers who are being told in one breath they will be replaced by this tool and also they MUST use this tool to make it better to replace them aren’t happy about it or want to use it
