    I think the whole post is AI generated. The author could have given a draft as input and perhaps edited the output in a few places. Take this paragraph as example: > Go got generic…

    Don’t be naive. Anthropics (et al) mission is to make us unemployable. They need to sell their tools to companies so that they can finally discard 90% of their workforce. It’s a wi…

    You won’t be able to enjoy your free time playing with computers if anthropic et al make you jobless. The “you” doesn’t necessarily refer to you. Im addressing 90% of the developer…

    Are you sure you will be able to spend time playing around that kind of stuff when anthropic/openai/google/etc make you jobless? (well, perhaps not YOU precisely, but 90% of devs, …

    He is a puppet. Anthropic is making him a billionaire. No surprise no one here can notice the difference

    How can you be so blind? This is all a marketing campaign by anthropic. No more no less. The developers doing the rewrite have no voice at all in this game.

    The problem with security through obscurity (even if it’s just an “addon”) is that it pollutes your code base, system. It’s just not worth it. Like moving ssh to a different port. …

    Agree to some extent. At some point though we jump the thin line between creative expression and… magic? Like if at some point I can just say “Generate a song similar to Smooth Cri…

    Metrics: I increased retention 2x; I reduced latency from X ms to Y ms; increased slo to 99.999… those are all meaningless. It was in fashion to put such numbers in cvs maybe 5-10 …

    I think this is pretty obvious for many of us in the industry. Unfortunately, there is so much money on the table that the big players will shove whatever they want down our throat…

    When I was younger I was sold in the idea of data driven decisions. Everything needs to be measured, otherwise you are just biased, and bias is bad. Nowadays I do still rely on dat…

    That sounds awful. I got a promotion once for deleting 250K lines of code in less than a month. Now that sounds better

    The whole gsd/agents folder is hilarious. Like a bunch of MD that never breaks. How do you is it minimally correct? Subjective prose. Sad to see this on the frontpage

    That’s not true. Even if we assume LLMs can generate the code needed to support the next Facebook, one still has to: buy/rent tons of hardware (virtual or baremetal), put tons of m…

    Not entirely true. For instance if I use LLMs to build an ios app I still need to pay apple $100 to use my own app for an undetermined amount of time. If I build a web app i still …
