Yeah, exactly this. Once you have a toddler you realize there is an inherent desire to be alone while pooping. There is a sort of shame about this. Always Sunny made a joke about t…

Pooping is interesting. Having a toddler reminded me how pooping is this uniquely vulnerable, sensitive time for humans. I think a lot of us use books/phones/etc to distract oursel…

I'm getting tired of these articles telling me what AI will or won't do to my career when every day I see something different first hand. I'm about to stop arguing with people. If …

It helps me. Case in point, I recently had a API refactoring project that was 80% busywork and only a small amount of code. It's crap work, but it has to be done and it's part of m…

Also AI is now drafting design docs, generating PLC work products, entering it all in Jira, characterizing and root causing bugs... It's speeding up the 86% of my job that isn't co…

You read my mind. I suspect it is a transient spike while I blow through the backlog and I'll run out of things that AI can vastly accelerate in, say, 6 months. But right now? I'm …

Yeah, there's quite a range between an experienced dev who reviews and understands everything the LLM generates and a coder-clown who blindly trusts it. One of the big AI companies…

This. Also I'm finding out that, after being blown away by agent mode lately, non-agent mode still kind of sucks across frontier models. Using GPT and Gemini in non-agent mode is a…

I don't feel like reading an article that will probably be out of date in 6 months, but from what I've seen, if agents keep improving at this rate, 80% of SWEs are going to be look…

I had a moderately complex review in a large C/C++ codebase that Codex/GPT-5.6-sol already cleaned up so I threw it at Opus 5. 4 errors found. That seemed odd, so I handed it back …

Some of both sadly, but where I've checked, accuracy.

At work it's paid but in my own personal queries it's free vs free and gemini seems to give erroneous answers with confidence frequently and they will completely flip flop in subse…

I've given up on Gemini. It sounds smart but most of what it tells me ends up being wrong or misleading. I might actually hand $20/mo to OpenAI. It's been far more helpful with the…

This seems like an easily testable assumption. Without the easily obtained data this comment is useless speculation at best.

If if it were true, who cares? Most startups fail. Most are terrible ideas and/or terribly executed. I fail to see why it's a useful metric.

> Less federal aid means fewer students can afford our insanely expensive educational system Are we sure about this or is federal aid one of the reasons education is so expensive?

Yeah I just switched to 5.6-sol I think?

I close out after a task is complete. I rarely want the previous context to feed into the next task.

Not correct. I'm assuming it's an enterprise plan. I have no idea what deal my company has worked out with OpenAI but I do not yet have a personal account (but soon will when I hav…

Correct. This is not a consumer plan.

My numbers come from the spend my company makes using our corporate plan. Not sure what the pricing is relative to any other plan. It's definitely not the consumer rate as we're a …

I'll agree but from the other direction. AI continues to absorb my job as a senior systems software engineer (c/c++) and after a couple months I've only spent a few hundred dollars…

For the past couple months I've been "managing" Codex to do plenty of grunt work. Granted I'm not one to produce thousands of lines per month(systems engineer, mostly bug fixing an…

I wouldn't blame them either, but I sure as hell wouldn't hire them.
