This author simultaneously admits, he cannot hold the system in his head, but then also claims he’s not vibecoding, and I assert that these are two conflicting positions and you cannot simultaneously hold both positions I am also doing my p

Thanks for sharing, i almost was not sure if the last part was sarcasm. Html itself was the standard, then when it got bloated we got rss. This seems like it’s not a problem of a lack of standards. It’s the company choosing not to promote i

Your code can’t be both open source and closed source. In the other comment you wrote that he lifted your open source parts. Now you’re saying your code is not open source. People are allowed to copy open source code and you’re not even bei

Please dont open source your code if you’re going to call people hella sketch for deriving from it. Did he violate your license? Attack that action, not the person doing open source.

I think part of the importance of being a senior engineer is not spreading hype through the industry. This appears to be the guy who just posted all over social media that they just got Claude and redid a year long project in a week, follow

The flaw in this logic is they are a monopoly. They continue to profit off of the bad user experience, that’s been their business model since day one, and they keep posting growth numbers. I hope they do die, but in the meantime the bad dec

I actually just had to independently tag him on LinkedIn after my son had an issue with his Minecraft account. Their account recovery flow directs you to call on the phone and then when you call on the phone, it directs you to use the accou

Some of these don’t really seem like they bypassed any kind of sandbox. Like hallucinating an npm package. You acknowledge that the install will fail if someone tries to reinstall from the lock file. Are you not doing that in CI? Same with

This is purely anecdotal but at the local mall (Stonetown in SF) they are giving out free rides. To me, it looks desperate, and poorly executed. I was even waiting outside shake shack for my order, and the sales person approached me to offe

That’s why you’ve gotta test your tests. Insert bugs and ensure they fail. As the sibling comments alluded to, it’s not exclusively an AI problem since multiple people can miss the issue too. It’s wonderful that AI is an impetus for so many

Personally I clicked off because the fonts appear to be something like comic sans, it is a chore to read.

You are underestimating the importance of attention. You can have everything in context and still attend to the wrong parts (eg bad names)

Thanks for framing my physical disability as a skill issue. Injuries i sustained developing my skills beyond what most others were willing to do, but i guess my use of AI to assist my input so i can continue developing totally erases that e

You could also consider checking out vim, which solved this 50yrs ago ;) in all seriousness, you have terminals, splits, lazygit… so to me, it seems like this is a case of “not invented here”

This reads to me, an angry resident, as an AI generated article that attempts to leverage the chaos that they caused, for marketing purposes — not as any sort of genuine remorse — underscoring why we shouldn’t be banning AI regulation in th

To me, it doesn’t matter how cheap open AI codex is because that tool just burns up tokens, trying to switch to the wrong version of node using NVM on my machine. It spirals in a loop and never makes progress, for me, no matter how explicit

This was very annoying, and made things feel unsafe. Having vehicles stopped blocking visibility when there is no light. Its bad enough we tolerate them stopping and waiting for a pickup and blocking lanes under normal conditions. I had a h

With code, even when it looks correct, it can be subtly wrong and traditional search engines don’t sit there and repeatedly pressure you into merging the PR.

Its not mutually exclusive. We write test precisely because expressing a complex application is hard without them. But to your point, we should not wave away applications that cannot be understood with extra tests. I agree.

The problem with this black or white framing is it implies competency is a failure. Finding it not useful doesn’t make you wrong, anymore than finding it useful doesn’t make you inexperienced.

This sounds like a comment from someone who has tested it in a limited capacity such as small blog sites or side projects that did not need to be maintained
