You still need the organizational conditions (the will, structure, processes) for someone to care, do, approve, and land the solution.

The missing part of this is that verifying the bug with LLMs is also easy, and so is adversarially reviewing the proposed fix with LLMs. The only thing left for you to do should be directional decisions. The LLMs should pause and rope you i

The mental model was required when your brain was the only chance to reason about changes, answer cross-cutting questions (architecture), and develop a visceral feel for the project, because that's what you needed to write high quality

It's pretty amazing what you can do when you embrace LLMs, figure out how to build one high-quality rigorous project with them, and then start working on more projects. You become a machine with your workflow, once again limited only b

LLMs benefit from knowing the why, the intent, and the reason/justification for code to exist, too. Catching code desyncing from it is a valuable place to reconsider assumptions and maybe even invariants.

Yeah, I feel you. A lot of my nonchalance here is from dealing with an immense sense of loss for the end of my identity-level skillset/profession, then acceptance, then deciding to push the envelope on AI-generated software to see what

It's insane how it takes advantage of good people who feel like they're doing something wrong for hitting "no tip" in settings where nobody was asked to tip just 5-10 years ago.

Is it: "How do you know the solution is good?" Because I can still reason and dig into things and ask questions and have the domain explained to me out of curiosity, the same way I could build anything that was originally out of m

While true, I'm not sure it matters. It kinda seems like wishful thinking on our part as software engineers that one day we'll be able to go "Hah, miss me now?" but that just isn't the writing that I see on the wall

Lots of small fs operations on macOS is apparently rough. I use nix on macOS and any time it's making changes to /nix/store, the Finder and fsevents processes peg cpu. IIRC his video shows fs-heavy ops like file deltions and

There's some hyperbole but his point is obvious to me from hanging out in forums and IRC channels over the years, or reading snarky "umm, I'm confused...?" quote-tweets for certain Omarchy posts about how Omarchy is just

For a single document like a blog post it should be easy, though you don't have to sub a famous author in for X. There are all sorts of ways to do it though, like pointing it to an example doc.

He's talking about Linux neckbeards and gatekeepers, not, say, cultural idiosyncrasies of any given distro.

Wow, what a great demo video. And this is the worst this tech will ever be. Though maybe nobody will ever beat the dog's hilarious persona.

I don't see why Anthropic would be expected to publish default Claude voice or use Claude for their public writing. No matter how great AI is, it doesn't commit you to using it for everything. And they probably know basic LLM tric

Seems like motte and bailey fallacy. They say their models are good (the motte), therefore their models must one-shot everything to perfection (the bailey). Besides, other people's claims about something doesn't give you license t

I wouldn't agree. Sota models can do self-directed sampling, profiling, benchmarking, read call trees, etc. to give you a report of the app's bottlenecks and then recommend solutions that can be vetted. I do this constantly. As th

Yesterday I saw this tweet on twitter: https://x.com/ksw_arman/status/2091201471773614095 > 80% of personal websites only have a single blog post from two years ago where the author mentions they want to write

These remarks about how they'd agree with you if only they'd read more or how they aren't as superior to others as they think, these make your comment worse and emotional. Just make your case like you would in any other comm

Impressive, wrong on both counts. (1) HDR display (e.g. you bought a macbook/iphone) doesn’t mean you want random videos in the instagram feed to be full brightness despite setting your screen brightness to minimum in a dark room and (

You put more heart and emotion into your comments here than I spent picking a non-Grok AI service.

I think what makes that so annoying is having to backtrack which is super jarring. One idea is letting you press enter to jump to the start of the next word and immediately resume.

LLMs trivially catch these things in review, and if you find agents agreeing incorrectly with each other (weak models?), maybe you need to be doing adversarial review. It's pretty much solved, though I only use sota models. I think for

This starts to feel like you're defining the word intelligence out of any meaning and out of any way we apply that word. So when LLMs can do all human knowledge work, and do it better than humans, we'll be in the mines listening t

Well, it depends on what you want. I'm glad the Claude Code TUI runs in my terminal, for example, because that's where I do software development and interact with the file system and run other lightweight keyboard-driven TUIs tha
