Thanks for this. The guy really wants to pin me on the 10x thing coming from him but I keep saying it's not and he keeps ignoring me. The claims of his article are extremely plain …

I'm happy to hear that! A lot of people posting their hot takes here about how AI is actually great or actually awful, but I was hoping to have more conversations like this in the …

Yes but if I set it above ~16K on my 32gb laptop it just OOMs. Am I doing something wrong?

What did you set the context window to? That's been my main issue with models on my macbook, you have to set the context window so short that they are way less useful than the host…

I've done a few of these types of hands off and go to a meeting style interactions. It has worked a few times, but I tend to just find that they over do it or cause issues. Like yo…

If you really need some, there are some links in another comment. Another one that was made me really wonder if I was missing the bus and makes 10x claims repeatedly is this YC pod…

Very interesting perspective. Thanks for sharing!

Has happened to me before. It seems they change anything that has a negative connotation to try to take something more positive out of it. I don't love that they do that without as…

What I'm saying is that the model will get into one of these loops where it needs to be killed, and I'll look at some of the intermediate states and the reasons for failure and the…

I think I may have worded this poorly. I mean the total amount of code review time that goes into 3 months of work (likely on hundreds of PRs) can't be compressed into 1.5 weeks at…

Appreciate the comment! > I mentioned in another comment the major flaw in your productivity calculation, is that you aren’t accounting for the work that wouldn’t have gotten done …

I'd call that "Making developer experience investments that save everyone just a bit of time on every task."

I'm happy to hear that! I hope you felt seen by this line from the article: > Oh, and this exact argument works in reverse. If you feel good doing AI coding, just do it. If you fee…

I mean throughput, not latency. As in if you ship 10 meaningful changes in a month before you now ship 100. My point around waiting for things like code review is that it creates a…

This is precisely what I suggest, companies should pay for team plans like the one you are describing and see what comes of it.

With terraform, using a property or a resource that doesn't exist is effectively the same as an API call that does not exist. It's almost exactly the same really, because under the…

> Wait, now you're saying I set the 10x bar? No, I did not. I distinctly did not say that. I said your article was one of the ones that made me feel anxious. And it's one of the on…

Perhaps that's my fault for making the title almost clickbaity. My goal was to get people who felt anxious about AI turning them into dinosaurs not feel like they are missing some …

Perhaps I was not clear here. My point isn't to say that one PR gets merged in 3 months. My point is to say that, lets say, 15 PRs from one dev get merged per quarter in the old da…

My goal here was not to publicly call out any specific individual or article. I don't want to make enemies and I don't want to be cast as dunking on someone. I get that that opens …

Thanks for the comment Simon! This is honestly the first one I've read where it feels like someone actually read the article. I'm totally open to the idea that some people, especia…

Hi there! I appreciate your comment, and I remember reading your article about AI and some of the counterarguments to it helped me get over the imposter syndrome I was feeling. To …
