I agree, there’s a lot of truth to this statement, AI in a sense is exposing how worthless this always was

Benchmark wise 5% improvement over Sol in coding tasks and a 2-3% improvement over Fable 5.1 seems pretty disappointing, but maybe it is actually much better in real world usage. Let’s see

How about we just hire humans and let them code without AI, then we don't have this issue! Every piece of valuable software to date was written this way. In before, “you’ll be left behind crowd”, I agree, most of what we call SWE in 20

I would have said the same of coding and yet here we are. If the only bottleneck is data (we’ve already spent a trillion in compute), I think it’s going to happen in a few years, a decade at most.

lol, nice to see some engineering company building outlandish product. Not everything needs mass appeal, this is not for me but maybe some one finds this interesting

Reads like AI slop, surprised they can’t see it in their blog post. No human wants to read in such prose

Ubuntu is good enough. I never got the point of tiling window managers, because the most important part of daily computing, browsing the web requires you to use the mouse. I’ve tried keyboard only browsers, none of them are as intuitive as

It hasn’t climbed the complexity bar for hard software engineering yet, fable still can’t build a fully functioning C Compiler, I think in the long horizon eval it can sometimes build a C pre-processor (not deterministic) given all the test

I like your name, which article is this?

That sounds great, I wish I had a job like that. I just wrangle agents for everything now. I think an added benefit of what you’re doing is it is more fun and this the humans who are actually building the product are more motivated to conti

I’ve seen people do this and I’m always confused, do they believe they will never have to reason about the code ever again. I suppose if it is like the Zig Rewrite where essentially all development is being done by Claude, I can imagine thi

Why not pick a hobby like painting or music rather than something ridiculous like VibeCoding. Vicodin as a hobby is like claiming scrolling TikTok or playing the slot machine is a hobby.

IKEA is actually an example of a particularly horrible trade in this category. Claude estimates wood furniture price fell by 60% with IKEA. Plastic furniture on the other hand is 99% cheaper, far better at distributing furniture than IKEA e

Typical sentiment I see that completely lacks any nuance. For one car vs IKEA are two completely different beasts entirely. A car opened up new avenues that a human could never do before its invention. This itself makes it a far more worthy

Strong disagree, there’s nothing better about an agent generating a 1000 lines in 1 second or 1 minute. I can’t read it that quickly anyway.

by sashank_1509 2mo ago
I don’t know if this is that useful for coding. In some autonomous world, where no one check the code and the agent can just spend 10X more time checking its work and leading to better results, yes maybe it is useful. But if humans need to

Reading this, a lot of the sentence construction felt like LLM slop and it seems like Pangram agrees. https://www.pangram.com/history/35257829-ad18-4128-9d61-fa03... Adding slop text makes even the core idea feel like

So Jan 2026 latest, I guess we are due to 2 OOM’s better retraining over the coming years. Curious to see the point at which AI plateaus.

The AI companies are spending close to a trillion dollars building data centers. On top of that, they’re now promising they’ll handle all environmental and power needs. I believe them, they probably will do that, thats not even too expensiv

What exactly are you building? Does it need 1M lines of code, or is it 10X the needed code already. SQLite + tests is around 1.5M lines of code, somehow I strongly doubt you’re building anything as complex as SQLite.

I suspect that when it comes to hard complex software products, you’re better off ignoring agents and doing “trad coding”. What you lose in short term speed you gain in manageable complex codebases. If you have a 500k line codebase and even

I agree sundar will step down but I’m not sure if this means they’re grooming Demis to takeover. I suspect not, and someone else might take over.

There is some need for local labor, but it’s an order of magnitude lower than the number of Uber drivers that get paid. I never thought of this, but I think this is a valid concern. Uber drivers will end up spending in their locality while

I agree, there isn’t much of a skill to using AI. And the model keeps changing so frequently anyway making any/ old skills redundant.
