To me AI conversations are exactly like ones about VIM config etc. ok cool, but show me something cool you built with it, and most importantly something that was worth the cost. Ot…

Yeah I totally agree. My point was that it can be intimidating as an intro book to the topic. Excellent material otherwise

I don't think this is a good resource for an intro tbh. Unless you are interested in proofs and have some probability basics covered, it feels quite dense. I liked Principles of Pr…

What kind of problems do people solve that require this amount of money per month, let alone per day? Is anyone reviewing the output of the generated work (PRs, docs etc)?

At work we are literally forced to use AI and it’s part of our performance review. Even though I really like coding by hand, I have to now use AI so I can keep my job. I will try t…

And what of the original author is not there anymore?

Even with enough money, you may not be able to attract/keep talented engineers who are willing to put up with such a work environment (the codebase itself, and probably the culture…

PMs do different things in different organizations. In my last job, PMs were responsible for identifying problems that were worth solving and align with the overall company vision …

> i see how one they cannot think and feel clearly anymore if your neighbours dream constantly about your elimination. All sides just need to stop with that hatred. It leads to so …

I dont think parent was questioning it, sounded they were more curious but thanks for explaining because i wasnt sure myself. Re: safe from LLMs, id imagine the level of rigor in s…

Yeah to get the definitive answers, sure AI is quicker. Google is more like the librarian pointing you at possibly good resources to get your answers from after reading the materia…

Technical debt is never a problem now since only AI reads code /s

Exactly! How do other parts of the organization deal with this avalanche of features in terms of documenting, pricing and packaging, marketing, selling and getting feedback on them…

It's hard to be engaged when you are constantly jumping from one thing/prompt to another vs you are actually doing the work.

I dont even think you need to be neurodivergent or anything to answer this question like the parent’s cofounder did. From one side, we call ourselves problem solvers, on the other …

Thats interesting. While i do get mentally tired after a session of focused coding, i feel like i have accomplished something. Using AI for coding feels similar to spending hours d…

I think reading queries that are always served from cache are CPU bound because it also involves locking the buffers etc and there is no I/O involved.

You don't have to take 5 years off for it. Just continue same old business (assuming you don't have outside pressure to use this slop-machine) and keep your skills and judgment sha…

We already knew this, but in the light of this AI hysteria we pretend like coding speed has always been the bottleneck

And not to mention that most tests available to AI training is trash, so no wonder AI-generated tests are not only worthless but costly in terms of false sense of reliability.

He’s been building tech companies for 20 years, he sure knew smaller teams move faster when he was hiring thousands of more people during covid

Right on.. we already have open source alternative to all the major SaaS out there and companies still opt for the SaaS option instead to avoid the headache of self-hosting and all…

This has been my experience as well. I get drained at the end, and I spent most of my energy and thinking capacity dealing with the LLM instead of the problem space.

More like the fresh parents who start schooling everyone else on how to parent…
