My conclusion as well. It feels paradoxical, maybe because on some level I still think of an LLM as some weird gadget, not a coworker. Context ephemerality is more or less the only veritable difference from a human programmer, I'd say. And, even then, context introduction with LLMs is a speedrun of how you'd do it with new human members of a project. Awesome times we live in.
> In 2026, I don't use an IDE any more. I don't think it is the best way to look at it. I think that now every team has the power to build and maintain an internal agent (tool + UX) to manager software products. I don't necessarily think that chat-only is enough except for small projects, so teams will build agent that gives them access to the level of abstraction that works best. It's a data point but this weekend (…
I’m not saying this is definitely a bot. However, this is the 7th time I’ve read a post and thought it might be an OpenAI promotion bot, clicked on the username, and noticed that the account was created in 2011. I have yet to do this and see any other year. Was there someone who bought a ton of accounts in 2011 to farm them out? A data breach? Was 2011 just a very big year for new users? (My own account is from 2011)
I like Claude Code too btw.
The crazy thing here is that I wrote the initial comment myself!
Water is not wet. Water makes things wet. Perhaps the inaccuracy of that statement should be taken as a hint that the other statements that you hold on the same level are worthy of reconsideration.
> To me that statement is as obvious as "water is wet". Water is not wet. Water makes things wet. Perhaps the inaccuracy of that statement should be taken as a hint that the other statements that you hold on the same level are worthy of reconsideration.

I'm not a bot. You are saying that because for some reason you resent people who have a good experience with Codex / OpenAI. Curious what that is - people hate the CEO or what? I like Claude Code too btw. The crazy thing here is that I wrote the initial comment myself!
But if you try some penny-saving cheap model like Sonnet [..bad things..]. [Better] pay through the nose for Opus. After blowing $800 of my bootstrap startup funds for Cursor with Opus for myself in a very productive January I figured I had to try to change things up... so this month I'm jumping between Claude Code and Cursor, sometimes writing the plans and having the conversation in Cursor and dump the implementati…
Just use Codex 5.3 in codex cli, the $20/mo plan is basically limitless at least for me and I keep reasoning efforts high. You can enjoy it while it lasts, OpenAI is being very liberal with their limits because of CC eating their lunch rn.
Look, I'm very negative about this AI thing. I think there is a great chance it will lead to something terrible and we will all die, or worse. But on the other hand, we are all going to die anyway. Some of us, the lucky ones, will die of a heart attack and will learn of our imminent demise in the second it happens, or not at all. The rest of us will have it worse. It has always been like that, and it has only gotten…

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 or disagreement are doing so from a genuine place, but just in reading this site and a few email newsletters I get I can say that there is a non-trivial percent in the programming world who are adamantly opposed to LLMs/AI. When I see comm…
But there's a difference. Being opposed to AI-generated art/music/writing is valid because humans still contribute something extraordinarily meaningful when they do it themselves. There's no market for AI-generated music, and AI-generated art and writing tends to get called out right away when it's detected. People want the human expression in human-generated art, and the AI stuff is a weak placeholder at best. For s…
I can say “learn how to use vim makeprg feature so that you can jump directly to errors reported by the build and tool” and it’s very clear where the ROI. But all the AI hypers are selling are hope, prayers, and rituals.

Those people are absolutely going to get left in the dust. In the hands of a skilled dev, these things are massive force multipliers.
It doesn’t matter how fast you run if it’s not the correct direction.
> In 2000, less than one percent lived on farms and 1% of workers are in agriculture. That was a net benefit to the world, that we all don't have to work to eat. The jury's still out on that one, because climate change is an existential risk.
Existential? Maybe to beachfront property owners
