I have been using different apps to read research papers, books, and web articles. On iPad, I read research papers and books on Apple Books, and articles in Safari; on Mac, I use s…

This post doesn’t have a blog or article; it is a blog itself (kind of). I’m just sharing how coding agents feel. A little about me: I started CS in 2020. I liked being able to ins…

Excellent article! Aptly describes what I have been feeling and thinking about the claims many AI optimists make. --- > He produced a great deal of code, [...] He could not, when a…

You mean you coding is fully coding agent driven?

I think I was right about AI coding tools, but I was probably just early: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46769188#46782672 I’ve been using and experimenting with LLM-based co…

Haha, i was taking N4 and N6, but didn’t figure the steps after that. To win we need to let knight die because rook can move multiple steps to kill the king. From a third person pe…

I have also felt something similar. A few days back, I tried to implement a PDF reader by pure vibe coding. I used all my free Antigravity, Cursor, and Co-pilot tokens to create a …

> If everything passes, it ships, automatically. If something fails, the agent fixes it. A human only gets involved when the system genuinely doesn’t know what to do. This right he…

Agreed but sadly, many people are too optimistic with AI and are completely forgetting that they can be the part of next layoffs. And others are not able to believe the (not extrem…

> You can write 10x the code - good code. You can review and edit it before committing it. Nothing changes from a code quality perspective. Only speed. I agree, but this is an over…

Agreed

Isn't that too much work? Instead, just learning concepts with AI and then using HI (Human Intelligence) & AI to solve the problem at hand—by going through code line by line and wr…

++Hard Agree.

I partially agree, but I don’t think “design ways to test the code without inspecting it manually line by line” is a good strategy. Tests only cover cases you already know to look …

Instead of "vending machine", I see many people calling generative AI "slot machine", which more aptly describes current genAI tools. Yes, we can use it 10,000 times to refine our …

Edit: Changed title Previous title: "Anthropic: AI Coding shows no productivity gains; impairs skill development" The previous title oversimplified the claim to "all" developers. I…

For AI-coding, I use Copilot with whatever default model under free plan it gives.

Agreed. AI-generated code is "mid" by nature. You won’t feel amazed seeing AI-generated code because its "reasoning" competes with that of a potato. I have recently started explori…
