That's fair, and increasingly true as we have AI tools that blur the line more and more. Personally I'd still make the distinction, even though I know the industry likes to blur these two as much as possible, but that's just

This article is outlining when the feature is done (as clarified in the first paragraph), not when the software is done. The difference is the feature is a product problem, rather than an implementation of software problem. The software pro

> AI increased the capacity to produce change. The next constraint became our ability to verify it. Isn't this an inherent contradiction, at least when it comes to the "promise" of AI as an "intelligent" system?

Then just pass a law that says tenants can request the change, especially if they use their own stove. Instead the agenda is removing the entire gas grid and make everything electric. This will strain the grid even more, make both rent and

Yeah I don't trust this push for electrifying everything. The grid does regular brown outs across the US, especially in all the states that want Net Zero by 2030 or whenever, and I want some things to work without electricity. I just t

The only Rust section is the one on storage improvements about the struct that stores the hash, but do they really need that many hashes that 2 bytes makes that big of a difference? Article doesn't expand, but I guess it's a hash

"I just wished the collected data was public. " That's the entire contention here. It's a double standard. Companies will sue the living hell out of anyone taking their IP, whether it's code or art, yet they have no

If corporations weren't already owning the consumer, with AI it does this by many orders of magnitude. If something isn't done to prevent AI from being used to farm the masses for data, we will be living in a sci-fi dystopia witho

It's not possible to do everything. That's when your coworker that dedicates every waking moment to the job will outpace you and then set the standards.

I guess I should add "for someone else". In that case it's just bad negotiating skills, but at the same time companies have a lot more bargaining power over individual employees, and it's especially bad in the software i

I hope social media crashes and we go back to text messages and online forums.

Not much left to do now that AI does everything.

Yeah that sucks. Social media shouldn't have this power. I don't recall phone companies banning people by the thousands after listening to their calls. These sites also wait until they are very large to act this way. HN has been p

I think human developers can architect and design better software, and a good developer will probably develop features better as well. The issue is that "better" here is not immediately obvious. It might take a few months to reali

Good breakdown on how to use agents effectively. That said, all those issues and their workarounds is why I see agentic coding as a tradeoff and often a risky tradeoff. It doesn't take much to just write the code if you know how (if yo

There are a lot of variables here. Small features I would say of course. Big features or the foundation of another app or codebase is a lot more risky. So it comes down to weighing the tradeoffs and risks. Even with small features I would s

I disagree, but I agree that this is the wider perception. > In this context, unless you can write code faster than a machine, you have no choice This is the main misconception. Speed isn't as valuable as reliability and correctness

Web frontend? IT's arguably where it's the strongest, but perhaps not for the styles and visuals, but FEs are mostly state management. LLMs shine at react JS and TS, because of all the examples in the training data. I'd be su

I hope so. From what I read the difference is companies are buying HBM which is different that DDR, and the memory manufacturers only have so much output. Maybe that levels off. I also think the local models will be good enough as any other

This is why I'm local first. Local models are getting pretty capable for most tasks. I just worry AI companies are colluding to make hardware more expensive and force everyone on the cloud, but then this stuff will happen and worse.

I can use any AI to have it play this character, and I synthesized the voice as well. Asking it questions is incredibly fun. Not sure if I'm publishing this or not, it's just a fun side project, but I can ask it any question and I
