You are 100% correct.

I could only relate to this stuff in my 20s but now I just don't care. Maybe it's cause I went from < 200k net worth to over 1M in that time. I've seen the country I was born in collapse in my lifetime. I saw my grandparen

The profession is walking into a court room 90 minutes late because you know the judge's work pattern then going "hey Mike, how are the kids" after 22 years in the same jurisdiction. Then they old boys haggle based on how muc

I think going through this process has made me uniquely qualified to write one.

I recently had to file to become an estate admin with no will at all. And it was literally cheaper for me to fly 3000 miles to do it in person than it was to pay a lawyer. Because lawyers are frankly greedy scumbags half the time. They don&

I use it in the field and my usage isn't even $1000 yet. I think I might be just now getting there after 6 months.

Work pays for my work stuff and I have both claude and codex there. On the personal side I sometimes go days without using it. It's more like my assistant to do annoying terminal shit on my home computer and like personal projects I gu

The $20/month ChatGPT plan that comes with codex is good value. Even just have premium ChatGPT is nice. I get rate limited regularly but it still lets me do most things.

With media ingestion this is called "eager" processing. Historically for things like pulling thumbnails for images / video and pre-generating common sizes for things. This follows the same pattern and makes all the sense in t

I've had economics professors tell me that a "normal" business valuation is 10 years of profit so your example is in line with my thinking there. I'm just as curious to see the final numbers as you but if they are even a

You forget the institutional inertia of how these things get negotiated from year to year. If something is working for people they tend to wanna keep it. The existing curation of how everything works is cheaper than rolling your own. Sure y

Anthropic is the one company where that makes no sense. If revenue really is about 50 billion annually and growing than that means that a 20x 1 year of revenue valuation is modest compared to the shenanigans that have been going in the mark

I hate it sometimes too. But it's sort of like being mad at math.

I mean you kinda have to own a computer to be in this industry at all. Back in the 90s there was a clear distinction between someone who had a computer and someone who didn't in so far as what they could do. Maybe a subscription might

Holy shit bro fuck yea. This is exactly how I feel about it. 100%. LLMs make me jealous of the young.

Maui was like that for me after a few months. I found the timezone more alianating than the location.

When I was fresh out of college in my 20s I watched two engineers get fired in front of me. They were hired to be DBAs. When I finished rewriting the software into a proper mvc their entire job became redundant since anyone could now make t

Every single step in this saga has actually created millions of jobs. It's pretty funny seeing this play out in the HN comments because I never got any consideration before when I had to learn new frameworks and languages. But suddenly

I like how everyone on HN feels entitled to a profession that hasn't even existed for 100 years and that is constantly changing. Talk about addiction.

Have an agent do it and have it write out what it did to an md file as guidance for each update. To be fair though if you configure things correctly it should never break. Mine hasn't been broken in years.

With that Github and personal portfolio I wouldn't be making such sweeping statements.

That statement tells me you have less experience with code generators than me and I'll just leave it at that.

Don't confuse the cost of org wide LLM services with coding. Two different things. Most people at any org probably just want ChatGPT so they can write reports and do research. And now they want it to sync with Google Drive or w/e

Usually I know exactly what I want before hand. What structs. What protocols. How I want the event bus layered and what threads need to exist. And what make targets I want. So generally the generated code is strictly bound to my design patt

Yea cause it's done while you're still reading the docs for your code generator. lol
