We're back to using LOC as a productivity metric because LLMs are best at cranking out thousands of LOC really fast. Personal experience I had a colleague use Claude Code top create a PR consisting of a dozen files and thousands of lin

The real value of a degree unfortunately isnt the education it's the exclusivity of the program. When bootcamps realized this some started having more stringent admissions.

These alleged vibe coded websites look identical to all the tech startup websites of the 2010s. Hmm I wonder where the LLM got the idea to make all websites look this way.

Dumping a 20k LOC PR on somebody to review especially if all/a lot of it was generated with AI is disrespectful. The appropriate response is to kick that back and tell them to make it more digestible.

OpenAI makes a profile of you based on your chat history and people are far more personal with these things than Google search. It's gonna be a goldmine when they decide to use that profile to make money.

It's not AI replacing jobs. There is a hiring downturn due to economic conditions (reaction to covid over-hiring and subsequent interest increases) and the people on the bottom of the ladder get bumped off.

I witnessed employers doing that to get people greencards too. Claim the exact combination of their stack plus experience in the domain is a requirement. Only way to meet that is to have been working the job.

I dont think the comment is saying AI was able to replace the work people were doing but people are getting fired and their salary is being redirected into funding AI development.

I think most of this is good stuff but I disagree with not letting Claude touch tests or migrations at all. Handing writing tests from scratch is the part I hate the most. Having an LLM do a first pass on tests which I add to and adjust as
