I have! JS was engaged in standard arbitrage and did nothing wrong. SEBI is coming after them because JS being able to do what it was doing is deeply embarrassing.

Standard arbitrage? JS bought stocks worth 572 crores and sold options worth an effective short value of 8,751 crores. 15x more. You dont short 15x your long position to do arbitrage. They were moving the market to suit their positions.

No, all you can read into that is where they believe the fair value to be. If it landed in the middle, you'd obviously have to pick up a much larger delta in options given the liquidity issues on Indian markets.

>They were moving the market to suit their positions.

They were correcting a mispricing, not creating one.

Lets see how that reasoning works out in court then. SEBI sent them a caution notice earlier asking them to stop and they didn't. Calling it a "simple arbitrage" is silly.

That era is already long gone. Those things have been built in Wix for over a decade. And since then, I haven't had any friends or family ask me for a simple site. The low-value work is already automated. Your comment is valid, but not for the reason you think. What you should be talking about is the grunt work done in our field to non-trivial applications. Adding a search box to a table, or add an extra field to a f…

> That era is already long gone. Those things have been built in Wix for over a decade. I think there's still a lot more custom work than you'd expect. A recent example: My mum is ex-president of a small international NGO. When I visited earlier today, she was bemoaning how the lady who runs their NGO's website charges them an arm and a leg for small changes. As a result, the website is constantly out of date. The cu…

There's absolutely no way I'd be advising friends or family to run a site vibe coded themself, that's nuts.

This is more a problem of your Mum mismanaging her contractors. She should be threatening hellfire down on this contractor for withholding the admin username + password.

Generating the site with Claude would be a pretty stupid choice for her right now, if she needs something more than a basic info site, word press is still king, but she should be able to do info updates herself.

OTOH, you might be able to ask Claude to do the changes for you.

I think Jane Street is an Anthropic investor, so take it fwiw.

The whole HN is one huge AI ad now.

It’s some Sun Tzu shit. Create a sense of inevitability such that they win the war for financial capital without any fighting, then hope the tech catches up before Capitalists realize they’ve been fleeced. The Dotcom bubble was the same scam.

This, absolutely. It's pure chutzpah, acting like you've already won and poisoning minds with inevitablism, alreadism and FOMO.

Free with an easy monthly payment of $20!

Yeah, for people that work in orgs that are < 150 people. For others it pay by token (API pricing).

Team pricing is WAY over $20 a month. But still cheaper than API.

Add a detail on how, and you’re contributing!

"hey codex make me a nice UI" not enough for you ?

I’m just asking what makes you “know what you are doing”,

regarding using Codex for UI.

(I’m just trying to get something interesting or substantive from this sub-thread.)

I have seen this already. Vibecoded top to bottom. The downside is that the business people don't understand why you can't just put their app in production as is. And then there's a lot of pressure to make it happen quickly "because we can use AI to move fast". This is going to come down to healthy organization dynamics, and hopefully represents a learning opportunity for leadership. The upside is that the idea has a…

> business people don't understand why you can't just put their app in production I’d flip that around and say that engineers don’t understand that sometimes you _can_ just put their app into production. It might take some cleanup, and some clever ways of deploying it in isolation, but some of these “vibe coded prototypes” — many made by technical business people (they do exist) – are much closer to production-ready…

I actually agree with you, although I don't agree with the "open your mind or be left behind" sentiment. I left it implicit in my example, but in my actual experience they actually can't put it in production as it is because there are genuine broken things or features they can't add without rewriting big chunks of the system. The worst are the ones that are not obviously broken but are just wrong, like incorrect numbers in a financial report.

But yes, I do agree that some engineers and some engineering teams are slow and cautious where it's not needed, to the point of obstructing rapid prototyping and iteration. And yes I agree that AI will be good to help push them to overcome it.

I've working on a small side project with a non technical friend for a couple months. It's really small but we are selling it to some clients. The other day my friend discovered lovable and vibe coded an entire app and he started feeling like I was scamming him. Why would I take weeks or months in building our app if he could do it on hours? He might be stubborn but ended up blindly believing me, but I couldn't find…

let them launch and fail it’s the only way they learn

"Prompt more" is my default answer now.

Your 80% of the way there? Keep going!

If they're satisfied with the result, I save myself a reluctant client.

If they realize the difference, I save myself an explanation and we can start talking about good foundations.
