The state of HN truly has fallen if people are questioning Maggie Appleton's credentials. Besides, she's working on GitHub Next , not the core product. Sheesh.

You should factor in the time/stress/wear costs but yes, I've found driving to be significantly cheaper than even the DC Metro most days.

The DC rollout is mired in regulatory red tape and is most likely dead until the mayoral election goes through, and if the new mayor is anti-Waymo unlikely to go through in the near future.

Not every $100 pair is made the same, and price is not a proxy for quality. You can definitely get a $100 pair that is meaningfully better than a $25 pair today.

Just pay the $20 for codex and use it. It's the only real alternative.

Yeah, and that's why gas prices in the US have not changed at all in the past month!

You don't need AI to shoot yourself in the face; salesforce can do that just fine.

Yeah, that's a great thing to hear? At the end of the day it's all exec speak, but it softens the blow of the title a little.

Even on highways I've had to intervene maybe once every 50 miles as it will often miss exits for me. This is a 2025 Model 3 with the latest 14.2 update in a major US metro.

It's interesting to me that whenever a new breakthrough in AI use comes up, there's always a flood of people who come in to handwave away why this isn't actually a win for LLMs. Like with the novel solutions GPT 5.2 has bee

My logic is if you can transfer you don't have absolute loyalty. Your logic is... what exactly?
77.
by square_usual 8mo ago
Great, yes, but you sure as hell don't have "absolute loyalty" to a company.

How is that related to a transfer? If you have a job on an H1b, you can get another job and switch to it any time with a transfer.

H1B transfers are easy. You aren't beholden to an employer.

In this case, customers can sue them.

Is anybody surprised all the AI influencers are doing the same thing all the crypto influencers are doing?

I hate TODO.mds too. If I ever have to use one, I'll keep track of it manually, and split the work myself into chunks of the size I believe CC/codex can handle. TODO.md is a recipe for failure because you'll quickly have more

Isn't that fun though? We get paid to fuck around. People say AI is putting devs out of jobs, I say we're getting paid to play with them and see if there's any value there. This is no different from the dev tools boom of the

Isn't the point that he refused them? VCs can be dumb (see the crypto hype, even the recent inflated AI raises) so I wouldn't put too much stock in what they think is valuable.

I've been reading Steve's posts for quite literally a decade now and I don't think his new posts are so meaningfully different from the old ones that he's not at the wheel any more. Besides, his twitter posts often doubl
