Author here: All code before removing [WIP] in a PR has been humanly reviewed, tested, then double and tripled checked with /skills. Then it comes code review, answering comments, etc.

Don’t beat me, I’m getting old. Even Git is starting to feel like unnecessary cardio.

This is what I do mainly. I spend more time designing the solution, iterating by hand when it matters and anything that should be automated, let it be.

Exactly, automation of manual tasks, doesn't mean it will wipe your knowledge or your ability to keep reviewing commits, writing comments on PRs, etc.

I instruct the agents to do the commit messages they way i want them written. They don't produce a book everytime, they produce what I think it's useful.

I have my own tooling set in every project https://www.minid.net/2026/6/1/my-ai-workflow . I have couple dozens of make commands, that perform all the checks. I can do them manually after I finish coding or, I

I wrote software before Stack Overflow existed, before Git existed, and before most of the tools I use today existed. I think I will survive an API outage :)

Yes, I was referring to that :), not the museum ones (I've been to other museums, and I understand the constraints).

Question for the locals: I don’t live in the USA, but I’d love to visit the boneyards someday and get inside some planes to take pictures. Are the boneyards open to the public? Do you need permission?

Yes. Processing information is one thing. Creating momentum among investors, employees, partners, and customers who often want different things is another.

Exactly. Delegating authority is easy. Delegating legal and moral responsibility is a very different problem.

I agree, but I think we are talking about slightly different things. I am not skeptical of solopreneurs at all (I have been one myself). The post is more about the current idea that large companies can keep replacing entire teams with AI un

Maybe the best solution is not to fire good engineers and replace them with AI, but to remove the useless "vibe" managers who are basically the bottleneck for everything.

I’m not really convinced by the article’s claims. Maybe the students cheated, maybe they didn’t. But the article does not seem to provide actual proof that they used AI. It mostly presents circumstantial evidence: unusually high scores, sim

AI, without supervision, will not be able to match the same degree of quality as AI with a true engineer behind the scenes. Twitter had another clear and non IA related problem: it was a adult daycare company.

I have a 2003 iBook sitting in one of my boxes, but I still haven’t had time to reinstall Mac OS 9. I tried with some CDs, but so far I haven’t been able to reset the volume, and Tiger loads automatically. I want to go back and keep using o

This is excellent news. I'm glad some executives are starting to understand that AI will never replace an engineer with knowledge. AI is just a tool that needs guidance. If they put people without knowledge in charge of the machine gun

When that happened, AI wasn’t even at today’s level. Elon clearly didn’t fire those people because AI would replace them. They were laid off because the company could run pretty well without them. And that’s exactly what happened.

Good abstraction does one single thing and does it well. Bad abstraction starts from the premise of becoming a dumping ground. If that is the case, the best and ideal scenario is splitting the abstraction into many ones to make the job bett

Yes, I felt the same. Most of us were too used to sites like Reddit and others. Reddit will end up like MySpace. X is prevailing, but check Facebook and others, they are completely dead, pure bots.
