    It's fundamentally different, and that's exactly why the CPU analogy has an expiration date. Intel never built Windows. The chip layer and the application layer were structurally s…

    Interesting approach. I work in embedded Linux/edge AI where we constantly struggle to move knowledge from large training models down to quantized INT8 models on constrained hardwa…

    Maker here. 18 years in embedded Linux/BSP. I built this because serial terminals haven't changed in decades, and I was tired of juggling 15 PDF tabs while squinting at logs. Two t…

    18 years in embedded. Yes to all three, with caveats. 1. The pattern is real. I write specs and prompts between meetings, agents deliver code by EOD. But deep focus blocks aren't d…

    Been thinking about this a lot myself. My current answer: go vertical and messy. Ex, Healthcare portals with ugly data. Compliance platforms with painful regulations. B2B tools wit…

    I use it for both — side projects and my day job in embedded systems. The key is where the tokens go. More tokens spent on planning, design, spec validation, test generation, and m…

    I think the comparison is slightly off. The compiler was never the author — it was the verifier. The real comparison is: 1. Human writes code (non-deterministic, buggy) → compiler …

    I've seen non-programmers successfully launch real apps — not toy projects — through vibe coding. I'm doing it myself, and I'm about to ship a developer tool built the same way. Th…

    Absolutely agree. I do vibe-code, but I still review every line of that 90% — I don't move forward until I understand it and trust the quality. Right now, that human verification s…

    Hi,AI tools just shifted the interface of programming from code to natural language. The tool you've been sharpening your whole career — words — is now the primary tool of software…

    Hi, I’ve been working with embedded Linux for 18 years. I’ve been actively trying to apply AI to our field, but the friction is real. We require determinism, whereas AI fundamental…
