Which one of the authors of the website are you referring to?

The current year is 2026. I think it's quite likely AI will make the top 3 by then. Putting this on my calendar.

What do you think of people that say that about climate change? It seems you don't understand fully. This is not the time go get tired, right before this actually starts impacting …

I "pair" with claude-code and still write 30% by hand, with additional review with gpt-5.4, but I definitely write fewer bugs than before. I'd estimate my speedup to be 2x.

The only people underwhelmed by AI in February 2026 are people who have formed an identity around being AI skeptics over the last couple years and are struggling to shed it. I have…

Software jobs have been steadily outpacing other white collar jobs for the past year, but it's unlikely you will find one unless you work on your attitude and your ability to commu…

This is a great point, because when you ask it (Claude) if it has any questions, it often turns out it has lots of good ones! But it doesn't ask them unless you ask.

This has nothing to do with burden of proof, it has to do with journalistic accuracy, and this is obviously a hit piece. HN prides itself on being skeptical and then eats up "skept…

You can literally go look at some of antirez's PRs described here in this article. They're not seeing it because it's not there? Honestly, what you're describing sounds like the ol…

"You can use AI but you are responsible for and must validate its output" is a completely reasonable and coherent policy. I'm sure they stated exactly what they intended to.

NAND2TETRIS is fun . For an experienced programmer the difficulty is almost akin to a game. Highly recommend it to programmers who have been in high level land for too long.

I'm confused, you said earlier that you use it every day.

Spend, not lose. And it's mostly on training, not inference.

I don't think so, I think it's more about openness. I've noticed older software engineers tend to be more anti-LLM and quick to dismiss. The shortcomings are aplenty, but they don'…

OK, I don't think that this delineation is actually as black and white as you're making it out to be, given most subjects are complex enough to require nuanced interpretations of d…

This statement doesn't even make sense, where are you acquiring this knowledge if not from experts? Are you out there doing field research and conducting your own scientific experi…

You are taking my Russian roulette analogy way too literally. The "bullet" is not literally just dead people, it's also the economic impact of letting this disease run rampant, whi…

Sure, I was referring to this study which shows that 20% of cases were either severe or critical: http://weekly.chinacdc.cn/en/article/id/e53946e2-c6c4-41e9-9... True, this is only…

>And what % of patients infected actually end up in the ICU vs. just have a sniffle and a cough for a few days? This data is easily available: ~20% of people who get the virus are …

You can't just cherry-pick South Korea's case fatality rate because it's convenient to your argument. The case fatality rate worldwide is currently 3.7%. Regardless of what the rea…

I get it, some jobs are more desirable than others, and there has to be some reason for people to take the less glamorous job, but that barrier could just be skill. I support hard …

Let's say you manage to carve out 2-4 hours a day to work on your side project while remaining a decent person to your wife and kids. Leaving your job means you could spend 11-13 h…
