This is pre-Covid HN thread on work from home: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22221507 It’s eerie. It’s historical. These threads from these past two years about what the future of AI will be will read like ghost stor

I'm on hot-take fire today, so may as well keep it going. I'm of the opinion this is the new field of programming. Think of it like Game Engine scripting. The engine is made, but all the level design is going to have to be done

Soon as the world realized they don't need a website and can just have FB/Twitter page, a huge percentage of freelance web development gigs just vanished. We have to get real about what's about to happen. The app economy fill

The primary skill a developer hones is the ability to know when something is already solved for you. This is where innate laziness is a gift. Why should I write a fetch function if api.fetch exists? This is a natural game time automatic dec

Jquery developers were just uneducated on structure. That's why the code was spaghetti. I would say your average Jquery developer didn't even know how to structure a well defined singleton: App = { } People are a lot more educated

Nothing touches jQuery's intuitive $.animate. Just about everything has looked absurd since then. It's not really anyone's fault, these frameworks are not as flexible as they were made out to be. Small post-mortem.

It's still a better api than the native document.query stuff that they put into the browsers. It puts so many api developers to shame. It's a masterclass. React still cannot figure out a plugin.

I mostly concoct and go through a whole idea over days. Then I let the dysfunctional aspect of me break it down the way it usually does which roughly goes like this, "okay, that's a pretty stupid idea, nay, worthless one". Th

Yours is probably the most important comment. It's always important to understand why the person is doing the wrong thing. It's a serious lack of integrity to cheat, and what child is born dishonest? Something pushed these you

What makes you think I’m joking? Their business model in large part involves using excellent but cheaper labor from overseas to contract out to American companies. If you can’t get a job with them right away, you should be making it a long

The trade off was I had to work with just describing it via text, but I suppose I would have had to describe it via text to a freelancer also and hope they get it. This will only get better is my point. I shouldn’t be able to get this kind

Try the big contracting companies (Accenture, epam, etc), they love foreign labor. In fact, they are literally looking for you.

The ship has sailed. If Alice gives me her code, then I’ll just run it through an LLM and ask it to make it look different. Wait, why don’t I just ask the LLM from the get go? The ships are all gone from the harbor. Luckily for justice, the

I'm sorry, what's a thing? Unreal engine 5 does those things with machine learning? Imagine someone shows me Claude generating a full React app, and I say "well you see, React apps have always been a thing". The thing we

Why do you think this is so hard, even for technical people here, to make the inductive leap on this one? Is it that close to magic? The AI is rendering pillars and also determining collision detection on it. As in, no one went in there and

No not really. The people that are behind the LLMs don't really know why it keeps getting better with more compute and data, they are literally just trying shit. Yet, the world has seen just how useful the thing is. We don't have

There are innovative ways to accomplish the consistency you seek for the example application you mentioned. They are coming a lot sooner than you think, but hey this thread is a bit of a poker game before the flop, I’m just placing my bet -

You are not understanding what I am saying. I am saying its the calm before the storm before everyone realizes they are paying a bunch of startups for literally no comparative value given AI. First the agile people are going to get fired, t

What assurances do you get from the internals of an LLM?

I've said this many times, that the abundance and wealth of the tech industry basically provided vast amounts of Universal Basic Income to a variety of roles (all of agile is one example). We're at a critical moment where we act

Yes, that's quite easy. I say "Hey reorganize the tasks like-so, prioritize this, like so", and if I really need to, I can go ahead and hook up some function calls but I suspect this will be unnecessary with a few more LLM
