    Have you realized you are attacking a straw-man? Nobody said all “hand written” code is good. I _think_ the implicit argument is: “all vibed code lacks cohesion”.

    Wait you only wanna make llm write the boring parts but after it has written it you retype. Without concrete example this sounds bizarre.

    There is a glaring fallacy in your “AI will change everything as it is super intelligent” hypothesis. If it is so great thinker which can do everything why not just solve this soci…

    Css classes are not big issue with css nesting and if component boundaries are settled and the design is well defined before implementation. Tailwind is a shorthand notation which …

    Right so it is easier to write code quickly, but not to maintain a system. Tailwind is the right tool if you want to generate a prototype with LLM agents. It can be quickly deleted…

    If it is a game of survival yes, we are living on the edge. Is it.

    If you live your life in stress it makes it strange. Breathe less, stress less.

    So you think if a company can't spend 1 million USD on a rewrite which has almost zero impact on performance, possibly net negative on maintainability it also can't have 500k LOC c…

    I have a very good mental model in my head of each and every codebase I have ever worked on. Nothing to do with my PRs or even my team’s direct responsibilities. I could always dir…

    Can you give an example you think will get cheaper compared to the average income in this future?

    Can you explain what you are working on? I’ve stopped using llms to generate architecture, which i design and write myself and let the machine pattern match the gaps. I also use it…

    So you think that having your words rewritten by an llm is somehow a more powerful, faster, safer way to write down your ideas? What do you want to say with this exactly? How you s…

    I think it is fine to create the scripts with the cloud based llm but it is definitely not a fable / opus level thing, and running the bisect loop itself has nothing to do with an …
