only on hacker news, do we see the biggest innovation in tech in our lifetimes, and you get this weird cynical negativity

for now the LLMs will build off human understanding, eventually we will be left behind

alot of financial engineering happens if the company is raising large rounds, if you leave early as a cofounder, they will absolutely mess with your equity. And even if you are there, youre considered an expense, unless the CEO explicitly a

its so common that I am shocked people willing enter roles like co-founding CTO without serious legal protections in place. go spend time in NYC/SF and talk to actual cofounders

Quick equation: 1. is it an ai lab with a well know founder -> equity might be worth something 2. are you the CEO founder? -> equity might be worth something 3. are you a non CEO co founder? -> equity might be worth something, will

alot of software engineering, especially in complex systems, is still just tweaking retries, alarms, edge cases etc. it might take 3 days to even figure out what went wrong

Jetbrains has gone so far downhill

this like is saying email marketing is done better if you hand write every email. Thats true, but the hit rate is so low, that you are better off generating 1 million hyper personalized emails and firing them off into the ether

we agree, i just think you are overestimating software complexity for most businesses

Run ai agents around the clock to do hyper targeted fishing

Much as I want to rip on vercel, its clear that ai is going to lead to mass security breaches. The attack surface is so large, and ai agents are working around the clock. This is a new normal. Open source software is going to change, compan

Basic web development is completely over, and will be automated end to end, product, ux, design, and the code. I have a complicated nextjs webapp, and I havent had to write front end code in six-nine months now.

the weird thing is seeing american kids from a top 20 american school (duke, carnegie melon, etc) mixed with a much larger majority of h1bs from absolute no name schools. its almost like the bar for americans is higher

honestly i have no idea, in some cases, they are working weekends/are hyper focused on extremely boring, somewhat manual work. some of the systems are complicated and break constantly, so they are almost just oncall fodder for manually

Two big tech FAANG jobs, org is 95% h1b engineers from china/india. Tons of resumes from american grads somehow never hit my desk, continue to interview random candidates from india with some low quality USA masters from missisipi stat
