Everyone is afraid about what will happen when people's skills atrophy, but the tools aren't going anywhere. If they truly can always recognize problems and communicate them in understandable ways, then people's skills won&#x

$10 gift became $10M for city government, with $30M tax expected over next decade I mean... pretty easy to see why... I think if the city tried to communicate what that money is going to be used for, perhaps it'd be slightly

the quality of produced code and the medium A thought I have been tossing around in my head as the models get better is that it really may not matter what the code looks like. If the observed behavior of the software is good, then

I have also noticed the too much code issue. The open question for me is whether too much code is actually a problem. These tools are a fact of life now. If we can solve problems or debug faster, and the software is less buggy, than it&#x27

Knowledge in there? Where is the knowledge stored? All of my knowledge typically gets stored in plans outside of the agent? And each agent window gets archived regularly, anyways.

This is the kind of attitude that keeps the world the way it is.

I dream about it everyday. I love building software, but I can't stand working in the industry. It's such an unholy combination of bad corporate culture and questionable moral principals.

My personal opinion for the reasons for this: - Less families with kids the same age in suburban neighborhoods - Less community between neighbors - More on demand entertainment inside the house Basically it's more that there is less to

C# is such an underrated language. A nice balance of language features and legibility.

I don't disagree with your point. It's interesting to imagine if there's some kind of middle ground where products could be launched without the pretense of them being permanent? I suspect at least some of people's frust

It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it.

Seems like a bit of a pipe dream, no? How does anything scale if you don't know how good or bad it is? How good is your kids school? How good is your business's supplier? Is this restaurant worth eating at? Am I getting underpai

We're definitely in the mess around phase of AI adoption. I don't think it's super clear what we'll find out. We've all built the moat of our careers out of our expertise. It is also very possible that expertise wil

> These problems are all because of a culture that favours the measurement over what is being measured. What other kind of culture is there? A culture of not measuring?

Every software that is released by any big company is now in part AI written. Over the next few years, every piece of software everywhere will be in part AI written. There's not going to be anything to point to because it's everyt

I'm waist deep in hundred thousand line code bases. Biggest problem there isn't delivering the code, it's coordinating. Old problems are new again. When every developer can now deliver 10,000 line changes in an hour, you have

Woodworkers and furniture factories live happily side by side. The unfortunate fact is that your boss or your customers never cared what your code looked like. They just cared that it worked bug free. The craft will live on, no doubt, but t

Lol, it's not sustained 50x for every task every minute. But there are definitely many tasks that used to take a very long time that now take almost no time at all, and that can be delivered in parallel with other tasks.

You're going to keep seeing this because people don't like AI adoption. But the fact is this is not how it is. Every competent developer I know is delivering significantly more after being AI enabled. Anyone seriously using the to

It's really very easy to spend a few hours going through a vibe-coded project by hand and having an agent fix the weird parts. If you do this often enough, you can get the best of both worlds. Then you're right back on track. In a

I mean, there is much more to life than work... so let's not pretend it's all about working. Everyone in America is now fed and most children grow up spending a ton of time with both parents. This is because of automation greatly
