I work for a competitor and can confidently say they have amazing docs. Payments are complex, and they definitely do cover the bulk 80% case in a REALLY good way. We have this workshop thing we make most new joiners go through where the

I genuinely wouldn't be surprised if it was Google astroturfing every single thread relating to FF. Yes, Mozilla isn't perfect and had some questionable decisions, but we're somehow okay with the worse option out of the two

Whenever I read any AI-generated documentation of any kind, it feels like my brain immediately blanks and I can't comprehend what I'm reading. It's like my brain blocks out the particular combo of word AIs love to use and 0 i

I love the never-ending "SOTA" treadmill used to defend anything and everything these LLM tools shit up. Doesn't matter what happens, it wasn't one of the "SOTA" models (which changes every 7 seconds) ergo it&#

The worst part of these AI meeting notes and recordings is that I have literally never seen anybody , in any situation, go back to them. The (very) few times I ever bothered to check the transcripts and especially the summaries immediate

Or we can turn off the net negative data centers in order to keep our Hospitals running smoothly, rather than taking the entire grid down so some psychopaths in Silicon Valley can LARP at creating their silicon God.

I have approx 10 meetings a week, usually more, sometimes less. Let's say around 8 hours a week spent in meetings, sometimes with people who hold the power to fire me. Depending on your role this number can be much higher. I'd say

And outside of idiotic demos, who exactly is going to ask an LLM to look at hotels in Montreal for them? This usecase has never made sense to me in the slightest

I'm definitely noticing, I imagine the populace at large will soon too. I'm not even talking about random software either, the company I work for has more and more fired that need to be put out because people are spamming out ai-g

Your "growth at all costs" mindset is going to kill everyone, including yourself, so it's not as simple as just moving elsewhere.

Nobody reads it, silly. At most they'll just run it through their own AI and copy-paste the output if a response is needed. It's like all those AI meeting tools. Full transcripts of entire meetings and no human ever takes a 2nd

I disagree. For sure there doesn't exist anyone out there who knows every detail of Rust (or any similarly complex project) because that's simply not possible, but domain expertise is a very real thing and simply invaluable to the

I just gave this a quick try with Sonnet 5 Medium [0] on a free Anthropic account. It's a bit of a contrived example I guess, but it probably isn't too far off what a completely non-technical person seeing this for the first time

Yeah it's a true HN bubble moment. I've got non-technical people in my company (a tech company, where the majority of the employees are engineers) who have absolutely no idea what any of the agentic coding nonsense is, their onl

IME LLM docs are worse than useless the majority of the time. It's like most LLM writing, an inscrutable wall of text that simultaneously says nothing and too much at the same time.

I currently work at a company where the average tenure is somewhere around 7 years. Wanna know their crazy secret? They don't treat their employees like disposable cattle, and actually invest in them! Our salaries go up yearly a few %
