Nice analysis! I would perhaps add that LLMs are pretty helpful at (2) in my experience, as long as you don't turn your brain off. (As a Google/SO replacement, mainly.) I have abou…

With GenAI, we can now produce something without caring about it - or while caring about it very little. And the parts we don't care about aren't necessarily worse, they are just..…

Not entirely my experience. LLMs can be good at two things, but unable to be good at them _at the same time_. I've had some success with getting decent simplification suggestions o…

I never went into an Apple store, but the phone support issues I had (even a pretty complex bug on their end that locked me out of my account) where handled swiftly and well, and I…

Apple has pretty stellar support in my experience, and while I don't buy Apple stuff for other reasons, this is a strong attractor. For B2B products/services, it can be a huge diff…

Right now, the majority of companies I interact with seems to look at their now (let's assume) increased capabilities, and turns up the speed. But there's other knobs to turn up in…

Good example. Transitioning from an outdated framework to a modern (or sometimes "slightly less outdated") one is probably one of the few situations where you do not want to change…

Depends on how much you're asked to burn I guess. Until one point, it's actually helpful. Then there's a point where you can do stuff that's semi helpful but doesn't get in the way…

AGENTS.md is fun too, solid AI bro stuff: > Code like Anthony Fu and Evan You > default to the highest quality modern code the legends would ship What a time to be alive.

If it's profitable, they would. Companies aren't moral, with very rare exceptions. Legal risks and costs are just part of the overall equation. But that's not in defense of what Ka…

I think it's primarily a filter. Candidate filters are pretty much always silly, even common ones based on degree/grades etc. But with a lot of candidates on the market, using some…

I'd argue it's pretty much like monitoring, which certainly benefits from multiple people seeing the same stats and alerts. I agree it's at odds with CI/CD and should probably not …

One fascinating thing about LLMs is the degree of evangelism it inspires in some. You can explain some of that with paid micro influencers, people invested in the success of AI, co…

SEO is definitely a relevant component still, AI mode does a traditional search under the hood. Gaming the system to rank high on the index is still going to matter. But it'll be l…

Yeah, plus it's a bit... single minded. A static single page site is _quite_ "agent ready". Scores 0 here. It's not like it'll need an MCP or whatever.

So AI generated code doesn't benefit from stable foundations maintained by third parties? Fascinating take I don't currently agree with. Whether it's AI or hand written, using soli…

Agreed, it is different in terms of there being no guarantee that a specific piece of software even has an exploit. If you don't want to break into a specific piece of software, or…

They are, wow. I had this age old Yen conversion wired into my brain: 100 Yen is one Euro. Boy did that change in the last decade or so, it's only half that now.

I typically install both systems on the same disk, different partitions. Then work with additional SSDs strictly for game storage. Only annoying bit is that some games _need_ to be…

> Isolated QA should not exist because anything a QA engineer can do manually can be automated. Well, sort of maybe, but it's not always economical. For a normal web app - yeah I g…

> I think there's also a pretty good chance that if a robot that could mine the same cobalt with no human intervention appeared tomorrow, many folks would complain about "hard work…

Well, I'd say there's two dimensions: 1. Check frequency (between every single time and spot checks). 2. Check thoroughness (between antagonistic in-depth vs high level). I'd agree…

> Especially if they are earning 5k per year as the title suggests. Not sure that's how the math goes. TFA mentions every employed worker has a team behind them, and is often succe…

If the spec covers 100% of the code paths, then yes, you're right. But now spec and code are entirely redundant. Changing the spec or changing the code takes the same effort. If th…
