It’s not about using new technology, it’s about the signal of effort. Blind copy-pasting an AI image anywhere is a poor signal of effort, because it was a deliberate decision by th…

I run into this quite a bit. We have users generating MANY apps at our small company (30 FTE), entirely with Claude. It's great to see people mess around and tinker. It's NOT great…

It's been doing this for our non-technical folk. Giving users a gigantic single file for deployment. We saw one user deploy a JS file with around 3K-5K elements in an array, storin…

There are big differences in what people call "tinkerers". Some are INTERESTED in building things, give it a little shot and find it to be daunting, and push it no further. True ti…

I do - it's pretty simple actually. 1. Build a robot with the capability to learn to drive a car 2. Put it in the car 3. Teach it to drive the car

I'd actually prefer to hold the hand of an LLMbot while going into the ether. "ChatGPT, I think I'm dying" "I hear you, and that takes real courage to say — and it's a load bearing…

> these things will be deployed to murder the poors You know, at that point, we've got nothing better to do than fight some robots. Kinda reminds me of that scene in Blade Runner 2…

As far as household expenses go, we've never really budgeted for this type of purchase. But we DO budget for... utilities, groceries, internet, and vehicles. These are needs, to a …

I'm in the same boat. We have very little documentation where I work, and one of my goals was to improve that as I got onboard. We have a newer dev that started ripping +3K, +5K, +…

I don’t know. LOC to me is indispensable for certain refactoring goals in my opinion. Taking a component and turning it from 7K lines to 3K lines and maintaining functionality obvi…

Doesn't that average out to 165K / year? That's not so bad IMO!

Honestly, within the last few days I've gone back to a mostly vanilla installation of Claude with a handful of directives in AGENTS.md. Depending on what I'm working on, I don't fe…

Absolute masterpiece of a rebuttal. No notes.

Yeah - those are two very different roles and are separate job functions at a lot of places (depending on org size). I do both at my company. I've never had that specific heads-dow…

I work at a company where our production system WAS like this for a LOOONG time. No development environment, no tests, no documentation, QA was the end users, etc... I have done a …

To me, it is the same as a "hard drug". I struggle on and off. For me, it's HN and just general fear of AI / career trajectory. I'm constantly reading articles about it. To a lesse…

You call that a peasant prompt, but it's actually almost perfect. Couple notes, but it's 95% of the way there. "Can a dog eat sunflower seed" is probably the perfect version, just …

I actually think that good prompting MOSTLY comes from good writing skills in general. Being able to more clearly state things to an agent, knowing what pieces of context are entir…

I was specifically mentioning the verbiage of the release. I am aghast, just aghast that their marketing lead let this one out the door. These companies have been trying to convinc…

Smaller pieces, probably

“The challenge for enterprises is no longer proving that AI agents can work, it’s making them reliable enough to do high-value work in production.” This reads poorly to me. So they…

I wonder if this points at a “shared” future (or at least things will eventually converge there whether companies like it or not). Ultimately, if you’re going to release these mode…

Yes - precisely what I was getting at with the childish comment. It felt a bit surreal to see a machines rendition of something that very closely maps to a younger human as they ex…

I'm still hopeful that this ends up being mostly "normal" technology. Time will tell!

As I looked through the images I was unimpressed entirely, at first. But, then I started thinking, these look a little... "childish" to me. Childish as in... A newish artist who is…
