My uncle moved from Germany to Portugal for the same reason. He loves it and the main pain point is healthcare - low-cost, but in his 70s he travels back to Germany for health issues due to quality. It's unpopular opinion in Portugal a

Being part of academia while few family members faang-ish, I see comments to this post are amusingly resembling debates we have - I'm in for deep thinking, research and analysis with code being a product of your mental work, while fami

I did read it differently: > The agent ran this command: ... > No confirmation step. No "type DELETE to confirm."... I thought the author expected the Agent to ask for confirmation before running this command.

Why so many comments blame the author? If AI is just a tool, just like a database console, would you blame user for entire database loss if he just tried to update a single row in a table?

On the other hand articles mistakes (missing the, a or wrong the). So it'z not AI translated, but also not fully AI generated...

Well, they could layoff 100% and world would be a better place to live. It really sucks for software engineers though - first these companies made a hype out of "coding" and hacking to build those monstrosities, now they switched

Comparing laptop SSD to cloud network drive is misleading. EC2 provides the *d VMs that have SSDs with high IOPS at much lower cost than network SSDs. They are ephemeral, but so is laptop and its SSD - it can loose the data. From AWS docs &

Did it actually open? A few bloggers came for opening, came back afternoon, even talked to AI over phone and email, and nothing except hallucinated replies. The store exists, but employee didn't show up to open it.

The "Stop" part should have been expanded. AI doesn't get most value from someone just using it, here's my personal take on what should we stop doing starting with the most impactful: * Cut the low entropy sources, this

Are they going to mirror every tool software engineers were used to for decades, but in a mangled/proprietary form? I think to become really efficient they'll have to invent new programming language to eliminate all the ambiguity

What if that AI was trained to hide implementation as much as possible? E.g. by making the client as thin as possible, using OAuth for authentication, following some robust template, would it be better? Avoiding such low-hanging-fruit disas

Many comments about code quality being irrelevant. I'd agree if it was launch-and-forget scenario. But this code has to be maintained and expanded with new features. Things like lack of comments, dead code, meaningless variable names w
