This is a fancy way of saying that if you invent the calculator, people get worse at sums. I'm not an AI doomer or a boomer - but it's clear to me that some skills will be permanently relegated to AI.

Early cursor was just integrated chat and code completion. No agents.

Claude Code was released a month after this post - and cursor did not yet have an agent concept, mostly just integrated chat and code completion. I know because I was using it.

Karpathy coined the term vibecoding 11 months ago ( https://x.com/karpathy/status/1886192184808149383 ). It caused quite a stir - because not only was it was a radically new concept, but fully agentic coding had onl

It is honestly incredible that such an important part of the Windows dev process is nearly unusable. It is easily the most fickle and opaque bit of software that I am required to depend upon.

This type of reflexive snark is just shite; I'm so bored of it. Things can be both earnest and compelled - right? I agree with you, and still hold my opinion.

In other words: the penny finally dropped for lawyers. The next decade will be every knowledge field actively conspiring against AI.

There are likely very very many - to the point that I'm pretty sure >50% of posts I read are sock puppets or agents. Edit: At this time this is my most heavily downvoted post. I'll leave it up because I think that itself is int

I do think this could only be temporary victory over the food industry by the pharmacology industry. It's only a matter of time until food additives or varieties are discovered that partially ameliorate the effects of ozempic.

All well-documented knowledge fields will be gone if software goes. Then the undocumented ones will become documented, and they too will go. The best advice to junior devs is get a hands on job before robotic articulating sausages are perfe

The model (and you) have inferred completely without context that index_value is meant to somehow map to the dataframe index. What if this is raw .csv data from another system. I work with .csv files from financial indices - index_value (or

My solution to this problem was to have my phone permanently on silent. The logic being - there was nothing so urgent 25 years ago that couldn't be solved by an asynchronous answering machine message checked once a day; why do I need m

How likely are we to look back on Agent/MCP/Skills as some early Netscape peculiarity? I would dive into adoption if I didn't think some new thing would beat the paradigm in a fortnight.

I was recently labelled neurodivergent by a colleague at work, as far as I can tell this is simply because I am good with numbers and don't like parties. I'm not sure how I feel about this, I wouldn't say I am Autistic or sho
