I vibe coded my own SQL query tui client mostly for myself, when I wanted vim editing mode, I just asked for it, and it just worked for a huge amount of common vim editing motions/actions. I did have to prompt it to add a few more wh

I think this is the wrong conclusion. Whether code is the bottleneck likely depends on the organization. In mine, code is the bottleneck. AI has pushed it so validation is now the bottleneck. If it is such that the devs are "midd

I've worked in agtech for the last 20 years supplying CA with various equipment and there's a vast amount of food industry there. So, the unfortunate thing is, kind of need to let capitalism do its job here. Ultimately, there is

Same, I've been coding for 40+ years, and other people I know of similar length of time also seem real quick to adopt AI. I'm constantly having to show the young devs how to get the most out of their AI agents and also adapting

isn't it at risk of any code pathway that somehow allows you exceed a buffer and read memory unbounded? Then a nefarious web page could capture that? That's a huge exposure surface.

I map it on all my computers, works well, if I end up in an environment where I don't have the mapping I just use Ctrl-[ or stretch. When I end up helping other devs and use their non vim setups...now that really trips me up. Capitals

One thing I like about some layer of obscurity is not so much anyone directly attacking you, it's someone generically attacking you because you happened to use a common thing that someone finds a security hole with.

I don't think it really matters in terms of their question though, given MySql on the same specs doesn't have the problem and postgres does. Quite clearly it has something to do with indexes and what is the wall postgres is runn

what makes you think that people are failing to recognize the limitations? Seems to me that's the most obvious thing when you try to build things with it.

I find the people who go "its just statistical" "its just picking the next word" have probably not really understood what the actual tool can do. Ultimately its arguable whether humans are just statistical also, our brai

I know, it's weird. I'm really excited about it, but somehow there's a bunch of people on here who are largely negative about it all and make weirdly misinformed statements, it's like they haven't really tried it,

one thing with AI is it really seems great for small companies as it allows you to do more, but for big companies, not really sure it enables anything other than figuring you are overstaffed.

not really, it is my subjective view on how "enabling" it is based on previous experience of not having AI.

I think this is just social media content right? Just don't consume it? Personally I find AI great and where I can , everything is AI enhanced - Coding / Software dev (obvious one) - Health ... been super useful as I recently ha

I think this is more your bias, it's also regional as different places in the world seem to use these things way more than other parts. Really quick search shows it's used a LOT outside of the areas you mentioned. The place it&#

it doesn't. Read the first amendment carefully. People is only used in one specific part, the bulk is about limiting what the lawmakers can do. free speech has no reference to "people"

I think in the second amendment "the people" are quite clearly the citizens so they can secure their own "free" state. Where the first amendment is about limiting what the government can do so they can't make la

weird, don't you think that stance is just fear of free speech? I see it as completely unreasonable. America (of the past now?) has a history of inviting all kinds of people to discuss politics, philosophy, religion from all over the

so the article benchmarks speed, but I don't really think most people are making the choice based on speed. Robustness is really the driving force (well at least for me). So for CRUD operations I have way more confidence with someth

weird everyone's focusing on privacy and google.... Not the actual insanity of a government targeting people who are legally allowed to be in the US. You can try to find a way to keep things private, and many of the people on HN likel

depending on product, I've been using Claude code to do market analysis. I'm quite surprised at how good it has been. I'm not sure how well it works in general, but for Agriculture (which we target) there is a LOT of inform

funny thing is, with AI, it's become really easy to put win32 apps together, and they load fast and are super responsive!
