YES!!! Very well said and captures what I was trying to convey. There's also certain features of an application that most of us engineers know how it works or how to do it, but it is just so painful to do it by hand. Or other features

You know, that question should trouble us more. But honestly we've all asked ourselves that same question and I think our collective response is too nuanced to try to type properly but I'll try. Tools are always made out to seem l

Haha, I actually laughed out loud, thank you for that :)

We replaced a 120,000 USD/year low-code/no-code platform that was running a lot of workflows. And we have another platform that is also similar that we are on track to replace by EOY. Both have been replaced by "vibe" co

I'm not sad about physical disc production ending, since a lot of those games already required a constant internet connection to play (check DRM status). What upsets me more is removing games from the library that people have already b

I'm not fully understanding what this means or how to react to it because I just don't know. Can someone with a deep understanding of this and what this means to us regular folks please explain?

Does anyone else think this is all just FUD, smoke, mirrors and marketing hype? "Look, our model is so good that the government told us to stop" "Our model is so good that the government is going to control who has access to

Holy crap. This just keeps getting worse. Link to podcast? See if you can find a mirror if possible, these guys may actually try to scrub this off the internet once their company realizes they have a lose cannon in their senior team.

wow. If I am correct, this is the cofounder and CTO of Oxide. This is a very defensive and agressive response. This explains everything I need to know about your workplace and leadership structure. Hardest pass. No thank you. In case it get

Just a gentle reminder that a company may portray itself as cool to customers, but is not cool to their own current or future employees. Their interview process was shady. There was a post here about 1-2 years ago that was a link to their i

It's the thing to do in HN comments. Downvote anything AI related and armchair diagnosing AI coding as psychosis. :/ Luckily, we've seen this before. Doom and gloom when smartphones came out. And then the same again when mobi

Index funds are based on a variety of tech stock. This whole "if they keel over" has been beaten to death ever since Tesla is surpassed Ford in market cap. And then Twitter was bought. No market crash. There will be some market co

People aren't affected by PC component prices. The MacBook Neo was introduced and selling extraordinarily well for $500 during this component price crisis. 99% of the population isn't building their own PCs or smartphones.

We're only a few years into it, and yet all generations of folks are using it for all kinds of things and getting joy out of it. That's positive impact. Even folks outside of tech are having fun with it. That is a positive change

Good analysis. But who cares? It takes a long time for companies to figure out how to become profitable. And I honestly believe that OpenAI/Anthropic etc. have done humanity a huge favor. The money they're burning is not yours or

Um. What's there to engineer at Meta? They are an ad-tech company. I thought the HN crowd would make fun of them for this. For years. But now I guess AI coding is easier to pick on than advertisements? There's nothing at Meta that

the technology industry spent forty years accumulating a very specific kind of trust and mostly had boring motives, which made us appear trustworthy and largely benign Are we on the same planet? Trust and motives? Is this some kind of secre

And exactly as predicted: Downvoted to hell. Thanks, but the world's changed and there's no going back. Hope you can change with it.

This is the correct take. People who are closed minded and against this tool will always be against it, because they feel or think AI coding is an existential threat to them. If you think AI coding is going to replace your job, well, perhap

Great take and I agree Coding did have a certain amount of fun to it. When it was small. And needed to just do 1-2 things. Severely constrained in it's scope and impact. But, those were the QBasic days when I just made a cute app. That

Very well said yourself! I frequently tell my friends (both in tech and polar opposite non-tech) that 3 things changed the tech world for me: 1. Internet 2. Smartphone 3. AI coding All 3 were "WOW" moments for me.

by thraway3837 4mo ago
Yup. The only caveat I'd add is that I'm using an alternate account to agree with people who say that AI coding has been amazing, because there is a seemingly a good chunk of people who dislike it and it will be met with downvotes

This isn’t as alarming as it seems because some things are proven true now: 1. LLMs can help create other better LLMs 2. If Anthropic is able to reach this ability, others can too 3. Intense work is being done by every chip manufacturer for

This kind of stuff “but they’ll copy us” is always weird (and wrong). Logistics isn’t some secret sauce. It’s taught in operations degrees across colleges. If a company is worried that all it takes is another company “copying” their IP to s

Not sure why the article is titled the way it is. Ben’s take on Siri AI being just good enough for the vast majority of consumers makes sense. The iPhone is the most consumer facing product because it’s a consumption platform. Some folks us

Has the data surfaced somewhere? A lot of IG accounts are private by choice, and this kind of data, if surfaced publicly, could have devastating privacy violations. People share all kinds of stuff on there, a lot of it not meant for public

Sorry, but I don't think AI is entirely to blame here. When I graduated from a CS program at a top-10 school, I felt frustrated that the professors didn't ever teach. They had slides. They read off slides, verbatim. They explained

This is all just too much Stockholm syndrome. Apple’s DX (developer experience) has always been utterly abysmal, and these continued blog posts just goes to show just how bad it is. Proprietary technologies, poor or no documentation, silent

Can you post screenshots or gifs/video comparisons of your updates to the renderer vs the original? Either directly in the readme or links? Keep up the good work!

Could moves like this by other repressive regimes finally open the door to consumer-owned, consumer-controlled, decentralized cloud storage systems that are fully encrypted and inaccessible by any agency or individual except by the owner? W
