> Should we expand our moral conception of responsibility or care to non-human patients, and if so, which? Such an irony. Humans have has since the bery beginning inflicted pain and suffering on other human beings. We are still doing it

Compared to what LLMs actually consume, your agent makes zero difference

It’s not impressive. He’s a celebrity. Celebrities are not impressive

My company doesn’t give a damn about me either… and they don’t pay what meta pays. What’s the point? If you are an employee, 99% of the companies out there couldn’t care less about you.

So businesses don’t mind sharing ALL their internal documents, plans, code, designs with Anthropic? Or did that ship already sail? I know that Google, Atlassian, Microsoft et al have been having access to our emails and online docs for a wh

But gmail is not free. Google benefits from our email data, way more than charging a mere 9.99$/month

Weird. I got bored with the Tanenbaum books (because they are very abstract and theoretical). The 3 piece book OS was very refreshing and I actually learned stuff

Unclear. Very good products tend to be about doing one or a few things very well; not about doing tons of stuff. So far, all I see is “Man, Im a 10x engineer now!”, shipping more code but without clear direction and taste. At this point, mo

If you think they can survive without hype, you are the naive one

Exactly. Always asks “who benefits from this?” . The answer in this case is: AI vendors, not us.

There are software components out there that are the backbone of our industry, and they are not governed by multibillion dollar companies. Linux, postgres, HTTP, TCP/IP, qemu,… It’s not that anthropic/google/openai/etc a

The same way most of us use linux (not windows) and postgres/mysql (not oracle), many of us are using open source models and not proprietary ones.

Biggest problem right now is that we have teams pushing dozen of MD files, dozend of thousands of lines of English prose as if they were specs. There’s no way we can validate so much written prose because it’s plain English: perhaps one sen

Sounds awful. Just filling the time with worthless stuff. You are basically a liability. Wouldn’t like to have you in my team. Less is more (nowadays more than ever)

It isn’t man. Anyone can easily split a single good commit into 10 just to inflate the numbers. C’mon, this is 101 git

by sdevonoes 5mo ago
Didn’t we learn anything from the past? Using loc or number of commits or github stars to measure success or productivity is so backwards. It seems everyone on the AI wagon is either young (and so they don’t know our history) or simply forg

One difference is: to use a top notch compiler/assembler you don’t need to pay. They are open source and have a lot of support. To use the latest and greatest models (bc no one around likes to use non sota ones) you need to pay a premi

But business people always cared only about thr result. My PM (who speaks like a salesman) only cares about the results. My “head of” same. My ceo same. The only ones who ever cared about the process and quality were us the engineers… if we

Agree except for this part > If you're at work and they really care about getting something out of the door, do whatever you think is best. If you don’t mind being jobless, sure do whatever you think is best. Not all of us can simpl

Solution is to normalise that using LLMs is not cool anymore

There are 2 bands: you let people earn a living or you let investors/executives become richer every year to the detriment of workers. I don’t care about the medium, Im not with the big fishes

by sdevonoes 5mo ago
That’s fine. Some people cannot (don’t want to) think about the more profound consequences of their actions. No one likes to stop for 10min and think deep about what they are actually doing. The easiest path is always to stay in “robot mode

Stop it. You are just making ceos like coinbase’s richer and right.

Im your CEO. I see you and the rest of your peers have doubled your productivity in the last 2 months because of claude. Good job! Now since we don’t really need to go that faster, ill fire half of you so I and my investors friends can make

As long as AI is being introduced by multibillion dollar corporations, it’s all a trick, a scam. They are just looking for increasing their valuation. A waste of time

Didn’t get the “scary” part. I also keep my entertainment to the minimum dependencies possible. I try to rely on stuff I own: music cds, iso videogames + emulators, physical books or ebooks (thanks Anna), exercise outdoors… ditching streami

Why TS? The npm ecosystem is insane and insecure. Not a chance we are running this in our machines. Go/Rust way better choices. Besides, if it’s all vibe coded, it shouldn’t matter for the author
