We still review everything. And we guide by planning, prompting, speccing. So we're not actually much faster at the core code, because reviews still take time. Ultimately, we're on the finance markets and we have regulatory pressu

Isn't it just the same thing? You loan the company money and in return they give you a note that says you get a portion of the company and dividends? Different mechanics, but stripping everything away, roughly the same.

Claude writes probably 95% of our code now, fintech, amongst top 5 in the world in what we do. I am 100% certain we're not even at the forefront of using agents for coding compared to some others. It definitely can scale.

I keep seeing this sentiment. Claude Code cli works very well for me. To lay my cards out, I think the negativity towards it isn't driven by anything objective, but by anti-AI / anti-big-tech sentiment.

In the UK, you have to do KYC checks, and any crypto you buy will be visible to HMRC (taxman). If you dispose of it for monero, this is a taxable event, and they can tell your crypto has moved. You may not get pinged immediately, but HMRC c

What did you mean? I can't really understand your first comment, and this one doesn't explain it any further.

It's probably a typo. He meant sealed interface. I think that should be quite obvious.

It sounds like you are speaking to someone who has actually experienced this and you have not. Trying to be civil here, I'll phrase it like this: Try not to be so judgemental over a keyboard when you have no experience to speak from. L

I remember thinking like this about software development several years ago. "AI will never be able to reason and write code as well as a human". I was terribly wrong. I assume you will end up being wrong about engineering too.

I don't think it is easy, otherwise this wouldn't be such a contentious and frequently discussed issue. A human who trains their brain on material they don't own then creates art or writes code based on this training, sells t

When discussing this, may I ask (I know you are probably bored of the actual arguments), what does "trained models on data that wasn't theirs" actually mean in practice? Again, I know these arguments have been done to death,

I've just realised how infrequently I visit regular websites these days. Everything is trashed, popups, cookie requests, ads splattered everywhere. I read some blogs that get linked from hn. I read some reddit subs. And I use LLMs for

You are really so naive to think that banning the big public social media sites is going to stop children from seeing bad things on the internet? I promise you, within a few years there is going to be an underground social media network or

AI currently surpasses humans at many tasks, and the list grows every month. My guess is that within 20 years (as a hedging my bets 95% confidence level) AI will surpass our intelligence for almost everything. The arguments over whether it

He is a vested interest, so we can pretty much dismiss what he says. Even in that post he makes some logical fallacies.

I doubt this will turn out to be true. That seems trivially easy to solve for with correct training.
