The article mentions that coding is only a fraction of dev time and thus accelerating that part of the job can only create incremental gains, and oh PS, lines of code and similar m…

Self-reported or observational data capturing time spent for categories of task ala every other similar study in this space? This isn't exactly novel territory, here, Simon. Let's …

Okay. Show me the evidence that AI has an impact on productivity when doing design work. Or reducing meeting load. My own experience is that AI doesn't tighten the design cycle, an…

Honestly I think the thing I love most about Pi is that I'm not dealing with a tool with a thousand undiscovered features. I either pick and install what I want from the package ec…

Eh, it's open source. If its closed, fork it, move on. It's entire raison d'etre is to have a very minimal core so it's nature is that the base product isn't actually where the mag…

The blogger owes you nothing.

> Hence the advice to read the tests? Reading tests and actually catching issues requires a heck of a lot of effort. IME code reviews of tests are often more laborious than reviewi…

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49155075 "These models are probabilistic, you shouldn't blindly trust them in spaces where accuracy is really important" seems like pretty soun…

> I just prefer HN comments to be better reflections of reality. You mean your particular version of it. It's interesting to see you consistently missing this point. You've decided…

Even now you're engaging in this discussion as though I'm trying to litigate your point and that somehow forcing me to concede is, what, winning? I don't know. I get the impression…

Eh, I'm not going to litigate your claims. My point is it's silly to whine that HN is a place where multiple points of view on the topic are aired out and discussed. If you want a …

Not sure what your point is? Those things can both be true. Or should the discourse in a diverse community like HN only reflect the positions you personally hold?

This shouldn't even be a question: the operators of those agents must be held accountable. There may not be established precedent but there exists established law. And if there's a…

Uh, non-profits absolutely may have unionized employees: https://npeu.org/ I... wonder if you don't know what a non-profit corporation is or how they work?

Honestly it's hard to blame folks. The US (and Canada, where I'm from) has seen a 40+ year concerted effort to destroy unions and the propaganda runs deep. There's been a long-runn…

Look I'm not going to teach you about the entire history of labor relations and the role of unions. But rest assured that this isn't some new, unique moment in history. The exact s…

Literally demonstrating the point in dofm's second paragraph right here...

I can only assume you aren't paying attention to, and aren't personally experiencing, the impact of AI on the industry. Power has shifted dramatically in favour of the ownership cl…

Vibecoding == digital dowsing?

Ehhhh, it's better at some things and not others. My own reviews have shifted now. I tend not to examine detailed semantics anymore. The AI is as good or better than me at assessin…

Yes. They know what you meant. You missed the point of their response. A compiler is semantically deterministic. It has a spec. Give it an input and you can know exactly what the o…

> There's an entire profession doing that: traders. Well no, there's an entire profession trying to time the market. The data is not favourable as to their ability to actually do i…

The problem is the old saw about the market staying irrational. You can't time the market reliably. Ultimately the base advice remains sound even if it's couched in a bit of conspi…

Read more carefully. I didn't say any of that. "Rich people hang out together and influence each other" isn't, in fact, a conspiracy, it's demonstrable fact.
