What kind of "data" do you want? I'm submitting twice as many PRs with twice as much complexity. Changes that would take weeks take minutes. I generated 50 new endpoints for our API in a week. Last time we added 20 it took a

That's perfect thanks.

What's a "dark time" to you?

Can you share more about the "has yet to show signs of ever going down?" I'm not trying to say "source!" and make you prove anything. I'm genuinely interested. All the stats I'm aware of show fossil fuel u

There is a gradient in here. The difference between the two isn't that extreme.

There are a lot of people on HN who will be replaced by AI tools and that's hard to cope with.

I focus on today. Throughout my career the backlogs have always feel infinite, the priorities high, the scope growing, the deadlines are impossible, and the stakeholders are always in a hurry. It's not you, the company, or the project,

I think it's impossible to retain the amount of information we consume. I've personally given up and if I remember, that's great, if I don't, oh well. There is always more to learn tomorrow.

HN shifts when tech becomes dangerous. There has been a shift against destructive social media and addictive phones too.

I disagree. Using such a broad definition means any negativity during a discussion can be called out as an "ad hominem" (and it happens all the time).
162.
by jf22 1y ago
That's not an ad hominem attack. Calling someone a name is not an ad hominem. Using something about someone to undermine an argument is an ad hominem. People against AI regulations are lunatics: Not ad hominem. That guy is a lunatic so

Useless metrics, lacking requirements, tons of P1s and emergencies... Sounds like normal career in development to me.

Yeah all this stuff is meaningless. The work is still the same. All that changes is the bullshit you type into JIRA boxes.

I've seen 1-4 week sprints work just fine. Give it a try and if it fails, it not on you. If you're burnt out from meetings and leaving is worth it then leave.

There are still schools where you can learn to shoe a horse...

I don't see any indication an observation drove the opinion.

Is it? I know insurance bureaucracy has overhead but is it more than personnel or materials?

I think it's dismissive to say that explaining something is harder isn't important. And something being harder stopping your from doing it is ubiquitous in life. It's a good skill to know how much effort something will take a

I don't want a native app. A browser app is fine for me.

I've never made a software usage decision because a product felt "too bloated" for us to use.

I'm not here to prove anything to you, just to tell my story and share. What do you want me to do, give you access to my works git repo?

One day it wasn't possible to fly in the air either and I'm sure was a person who wrote an article about that as well.

I think you meant this as an insult but the tools are that good.

The code I have AI generate matches the production quality code I've shipped throughout my career. SOLID code, no security flaws, unit-tested, documented, commented, fast, secure, composable vs inheritable, no magic strings, etc etc et

I produce production quality code all the time with AI. I didn't believe the hype at first but here we are.

There is no AI fad with software dev. The tools are real. We are weavers looking at a loom for the first time.

by jf22 2y ago
Over 50% of my code is AI generated. You couldn't tell the difference between the AI code and what I wrote by hand two years ago.

I can easily "vibe code" production ready code with Windsurf. The code is SOLID, unit tested, documented, commented and resembles the code I'd write by hand. It would be impossible for you to distinguish my vibe code from the
