Yeah I worry about this too. I have a remote agent that writes PRs for my job, and at the request of other devs I implemented a simplified writing skill that does the technical eng…

Yeah the rose colored glasses some people seem to have about how fun doing everything by hand was in the past and how well most people did those things continues to astonish me

It's also not $1,500 per month per engineer. It's that per month per engineer per tool . Which means it could easily be at least $3,000 (Claude Code and Cursor) or $4,500 if Codex …

No reason to doubt his journalistic integrity? He's not a journalist for starters. He's a PR flack who does PR for AI startups on the side while blogging on substack. There is ever…

Perhaps they aren't, but not currently viable !== always unviable.

Because it doesn't. Not for the tasks where using Opus instead of a lower tier model is appropriate, at any rate. Benchmarks show this, as do revealed preferences of actual users. …

Fiduciary duty but for AI, interesting. I think there's some potential there, though of course you'll end up confronting the classic sci-fi trope of "what if the system judges what…

I'm starting to get to the point where I'll only listen to AI energy use critiques if the commentator tells me up front they abstain from all forms of social media, especially vide…

Are they? Or do you just mean that it's few and far between that we hear about them? If it's the former, I think there's a much bigger universe of this kind of stuff than most peop…

Yeah and then when that library stops being maintained or gets taken over, everything breaks.

We're in a transition phase, but this will shake out in the near future. In the non-professional space, poorly built vibecoded apps simply won't last, for any number of reasons. Wh…

I think this is an interesting point, my one area of disagreement is that there is no "anti-LLM sentiment" in the programming community. Sure, plenty of folks expressing skepticism…

Get AWS to actually support pgvectorscale and timescaledb for RDS or Aurora and then maybe... sigh....

What if the instructions they give you would be to submit to them while they assaulted you, sexually or physically? Are you supposed to comply and then challenge them in court late…

Okay, I certainly agree with you that different use cases can dictate different outcomes when using AI tooling. I would just encourage everyone who thinks similar to you to be caut…

Have you considered that it's a bit dismissive to assume that developers who find use out of AI tools necessarily approve of worse code than you do, or have lower standards? It's f…

I have had a lot of success lately when working with Opus 4.5 using both the Beads task tracking system and the array of skills under the umbrella of Bad Dave's Robot Army. I don't…

I don't think that anyone actually believes that writing code is only for junior developers. That seems to be a significant exaggeration at the very least. However, it is definitel…

As a former tech lead and now staff engineer, I definitely agree with this. I read a blog post a couple of months ago that theorized that the people that would adopt these technolo…

I get what you're saying, but I would say that this does not match my own experience. For me, prior to the agentic coding era, the problem was always that I had way more ideas for …

Please do. I'm trying to help other devs in my company get more out of agentic coding, and I've noticed that not everyone is defaulting to Opus 4.5 or even Codex 5.2, and I'm not a…

Any particular papers or articles you've been reading that helped you devise this? Your experiments sound interesting and possibly relevant to what I'm doing.

Can't speak to Claude Code/Desktop, but any of the products that are VS Code forks have workspace restrictions on what folders they're allowed to access (for better and worse). Oth…

Valid questions, but I'd say that it's hard to know what the future holds when we get models that push the state of the art every few months. Claude sonnet 3.7 was released in Febr…

The way I always like to think about it is: "a computer shouldn't be able to do this." I'm an SWE working in AI-related development so I have a probably higher baseline of understa…
