There is more to it than that. 1. Decide if optimization is even necessary. 2. Then optimize the slowest path

another commonly misinterpreted one is the `shouting fire in a crowded theatre` quote. In it's original context it means the opposite of how people use it today.

If AI can do anything, why can't I just prompt "Here is sudo access to my laptop, please do all my work for me, respond to emails, manage my household budget, and manage my meeting…

As I said in another post. The article is pure rhetoric. It provides no actual numbers, measurements, or examples. It's just "AI did stuff really good for me" as the proof that AI …

and builder.ai just filed for bankruptcy after a billion dollar valuation. Timely.

Agreed. The article provides zero measurement, zero examples, zero numbers. It's pure conjecture with no data or experiment to back it up. Unfortunately conjecture rises to the top…

The article provides no solid evidence that "AI is working" for the author. At the end of the day this article is nothing but another piece of conjecture on hackernews. Actually as…

The reason I remain in the "skeptical" camp is because I am experiencing the same thing you are - I keep oscillating between being impressed, then disappointed. Ultimately the thin…

can't wait for the javascript error when I try to switch gears on the touchscreen of my future car!

People on hackernews think tech is the whole economy.

It's never going back to the level of the pandemic again. It might improve... but those days are over forever. They were hiring people as SWEs who could hardly read and write.

This is definitely not true universally. The highest earners I know are self-employed or own small businesses and were 'alone' for most of their career. This includes a craftsman w…

Technical hobbyists also have a genuine interest in technical work. Contrast this with the flood of new college graduates who have minimal interest in engineering, yet want the hig…
