As though we haven't done enough already to manipulate the mind, now we can have a neural model dictate our thoughts for us.

That's it? That's only like 3 months of OpenAI/Anthropic

I came here hoping Epic Games somehow had launched a reliable alternative to GitHub, but saw their code is hosted on GitHub

Have you found that being much more spec driven helps guide it better?

Now this ^^ is an awesome use case!

Given the history of so-called "Open-AI", and Anthropic's recent mention of intentionally making the model perform worse in situations. I'm more and more worried that closed AI ris…

Exactly, when you hire a junior engineer the distribution of code quality is fairly well known. By the time an engineer becomes senior, you can generally expect similar level of qu…

For every interesting problem AI solves there are a long tail of really dumb things that AI performs that humans would never do. Some days I am in awe of one-shot magic eight-ball …

I think I'm done using LLMs altogether for coding. I've lost the ability to maintain any kind of flow state, the majority of the time I've spent thrashing on architectural changes …

This right here ^ x 1000s. I can’t get into flow state with AI.

I've seen the $1000/mo engineer salary thrown around a bit and I'm not even sure where it comes from.

I'm getting really tired of every single attempt to be taxed into oblivion. Just leave me the hell alone

I agree with most of this, I just have sort of turned a blind eye to what the code actually probably looks like. Reviews are rapid, and I’ll admit I do feel like I’m betraying my i…

Is it just me or is the market been pretty rough for job listings and getting just about any application through? I have some time off currently and I'm hopeful I can turn things a…

Every now and then I enjoy the opportunity to build things without planning around them. No ceremony, no tickets - just pure code and building things people are interested in or ar…

I'm in the same boat. 15 years of work and I'm very burnt out now. Any development process stresses me out these days.

I'm in the same boat, this is a requirement to save for retirement and there's very little else that can compete - despite the fact that inflation is outpacing nearly all the effor…

I've been in tech for 20 years now. Inflation has outpaced everything
