Agreed - I know it's poor security but damn does it work so well I'm ok with the risk because I typically am pretty explicit about telling the agent what to do - I don't do the loo…

I can totally see a world where a small team of PM + engineers can recreate internal business tools, you need to run the numbers to see if paying these people is significant cost s…

> How do you structure a brand new project? Scaffolding, git init/ignore? Repos? Initial commit strategies? Don't overthink it. Use whatever bootstrapping tools your project framew…

Everyone is QA at a startup. I hope y'all are using your own product regularly right? You should have a nice simple way to raise these issues, maybe a slack channel or something wi…

Alternatively, consider the person is disabled and is physically incapable of driving.

I currently am mid 30s and 10 years into my career. I have no interest in joining a union right now, simply because I am confident in my skill and my ability to increase my earning…

I think this is company culture. You're asking how to make your engineers give enough of a damn about their output to spend the extra time understanding it. Did they do this before…

I've found two jobs from that thread, and have been offered a third I turned down. I usually just ctrl-f for the tech I use and apply if I see something interesting that matches my…

Why not a childfree tax instead? It's not going to be popular, but for societies with low birth rates - contribute to the next generation either via human bodies or via cash. But I…

Just have claude (or gpt maybe) do an architecture review and request a multi-phase refactoring plan. This is probably better to do incrementally as you notice the balls of mud for…

By then, the fix will be easy. Fire up the latest LLM, point it at your codebase and tell it "rewrite this from scratch. do it well. fix the architecture mistakes"

I like that they waited for opus 4.7 to come out first so they had a few days to find the benchmarks that gpt 5.5 is better at

> put out something really polished Like Apple Intelligence? Which was quite crap

Non designers will vibe-design a prototype with claude, export it to canva and let the designers finish it up If code doesn't go this direction soon, I'd be surprised. PM builds a …

The US tried this in 1920 and rolled it back a decade later - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prohibition_in_the_United_Stat...

We as engineers are still paid to create working software. As such, you are responsible for the genAI code you ship to production. That is, our customers are paying us for working …

Still waiting for these software factories to solve problems that aren't related to building software factories. I'm sure it'll happen sooner or later, but so far all the outputs o…

I think the opposite question is more prevalent, how much money have you spent?

A different perspective. I'm a first generation immigrant that moved from Russia -> US 30 years ago with my parents. Some things to consider: Despite living here for 30 years, my p…

I'm fully onboard the Neovim train. Lua is a much better language than vimscript and there's a lot more interest in Neovim so there's more interesting packages that people create. …

First, don't do what people on the cutting edge are doing. They are AI hobbyists and their methods becomes obsolete within weeks. Many of the tricks they use become first class obj…

If our human thoughts can't be translated to food and shelter, then we'll pick up guns and go steal the food and shelter from someone else.

The same way you prevented this previously. Copying successful products is nothing new, AI just makes it easier. Marketing, lawyers, good customer support, creating relationships w…

It seems like your priorities are backwards. CI/CD is meant to keep your product stable, there's no point if there's no product to keep stable. DB scaffolding & proper environment …

Sorry, ai;dr (AI didn't read) > The real question isn’t whether AI helped write this It is. As soon as I saw the bullet points, my mind went "AI wrote this" and I stopped reading.
