Sorry, I can't see how your comment is a reply to my comment. I said AI enables shitty humans to do this. I didn't say everyone using AI is a shitty human or whatever it is you took away from that.

The market can stay irrational for longer than you can stay solvent.

Or every investor just expects the other investors will fall for this, but the result is the same: number go up so buy more. It could be no one really falls for it at all.

OP is not blaming the AI - did you read the post? AI does enable shitty humans to open PRs with code they have no comprehension of, wasting precious time donated by a skilled maintainer. That is a new thing that wasn’t possible without AI.

Did Webster also redefine the term in service of other goals? 1. the ability to learn or understand or to deal with new or trying situations https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/intelligence

No confusion here. This is just semantics, but you brought it up. The very first definition of intelligence provided by Webster: 1.a. the ability to learn or understand or to deal with new or trying situations : reason also : the skilled us

No, that's a much stronger statement. I'm not talking about ideals. I'm talking about running a business that is mature, growing and going to be around in five years. You could literally kill such a business running it on a p

The trick is to not give a fuck. This works great in a lot of apps, which are useless to begin with. It may also be a reasonable strategy in an early-stage startup yet to achieve product-market fit, but your plan has to be to scrap it and r

Right, and then after you do all the thinking and the specs, you have to read and understand and own every single line it generated. And speaking for myself, I am no where near as good at thinking through code I am reviewing as thinking thr

The paid version of Intellij has never lost anything. Pretty much everything the specialized IDEs can do, Intellij can do too, though maybe some features lag. CLion, Rubymine etc are just less expensive specialized versions. I'm sure t

If you build a product and a community around a certain set of values, and then you completely swap value systems its a rug pull. They build a user base by offering something they don't intend to continue offering. What the fuck else d

They need to make money for their investors. Once you start down the enshittification path, forever will it dominate your destiny.

The code is the blueprint. “The final goal of any engineering activity is some type of documentation. When a design effort is complete, the design documentation is turned over to the manufacturing team. This is a completely different group

Until the thing can learn on its own and advance its capabilities to the same degree that a junior developer can, it is not intelligent enough to do that work. It doesn't learn our APIs, it doesn't learn our business domain, it do

They are talking about executing code at compile time (macros and such). With modern IDEs/editors, just opening the folder may trigger such behavior (when LSP boots and compiles) though some environments warn you.

Do you realize your argument boils down to “increasing supply doesn’t reduce housing cost because we don’t increase the supply”?

They purchase them, and rent them out, and that is still a net increase in housing supply.

Then it isn’t saturated.

Building a new house and renting the old one absolutely does increase the supply of housing.

Yes, this is exactly my point. Thank you for stating it better.

I expect it will never change. In two years if there is a local option as good as GPT-5 there will be a much better cloud option and you'll have the same tradeoffs to make.

Right, because LLMs cannot learn from their prior work in a project nor can they read a large code base for every prompt. So it can be helpful to provide it documents for understanding the project and also the code base layouts immediately

Its complete bullshit. There is no way anyone ever thought anything was going on in ELIZA. There were people amazed that "someone could program that" but they had no illusions about what it was, it was obvious after 3 responses.

The best interface is magit, IMO. I use a clone of it in VS Code that is nearly as good. But you get the speed of CLI while still being very easy to stage/unstage individual chunks, which is probably the piece that does not get done en

Yes, every company that operates in the US and many that only import have US subsidiaries. This is true of all companies pretty much everywhere in the world. The government must have an entity it can tax, and a throat it can choke, but the
