Who cares? Honestly, there will always be people who use things recklessly. There will always be products designed to encourage people to use things recklessly.

Thing is, it won’t be most people. Won’t even be many.

Yup. Have you ever been a manager?

No no no this is incorrect and conjecture with ZERO evidence behind it.

People ABSOLUTELY place a ton of value on. Learning new things? You yourself JUST called this out but somehow “many folks” don’t place value on learning new things? What’s many? 20? 50? A million? Ten million?

Contemptible suppositions.

Here we go again…

This is somewhat of a dramatic statement. What, exactly, is the mechanism by which human culture is erased because LLMs write some stories or compose some music?

Congratulations, don’t use Ghostty or terminals built on top of libghostty and you don’t have to!

> Just like if you don’t read you will lose the ability to.

This is wholly untrue.

Content moderation is not censorship, and Nitter has no right to to use accounts to scrape and republish information that X has chosen to gate.

Fascinating you think they don’t

Do you understand how many companies there are? Your anecdata is wholly useless

You know Cory Doctorow is just a science fiction writer who never even finished high school, yes? He has no expertise in any of this stuff.

Oh man, I’m building a system to classify very large streams of data, this should replace several pieces of my workflow!

This was almost good until it veered into antisemitism

Imagine, just imagine, that the power to change that was actually in the hands of humanity!

Crazy!

Atlassian’s MCP is phenomenal and they e had theirs longer than Linear

That’s not a decent quality of life. I know you may feel differently and find it hard to think about it objectively because you lived it, but you had a poor quality of life. It’s great that you’re doing well and you made it through, but don’t romanticize it.

Lmao that’s exactly capitalism

Honestly, a pretty incredible article. Yeah, this is what happens. And even so, as he said himself, the newbies continue to find themselves and the proles continue to gather to connect and reconnect.

I imagine many here feel convicted because they see themselves in Law’s descriptions of the well-heeled elite, and they resent Law for saying they are not transgressive instigators, anarchic fire starters, and autonomous free zone inhabitants.

Y’all. Be comfortable with who you are. Most of us just want good money, an awesome time with cool computer shit to do, and friends and family who love us. It’s okay not to be a revolutionary. What’s not okay is to trick yourself into believing you are one when it couldn’t be further from the truth.

Here’s to the revolutionaries - I get to live a more grounded life because of their willingness to live outside the lines.

And yet, I think it’s perfectly reasonable for the founder of something to share his opinions on why he thinks it’s no longer the thing he created.

Both things can be true.

Did you read the article? He isn’t going. He hasn’t gone.

It’s almost like late-stage capitalism isn’t built to support mentorship and education and enabling human improvement!

Maybe it is for people who have written code all their lives, but as someone who started with reading code and has read far more code than I’ve ever written, reading code is WAY easier for me.

You don’t have to think, the FTC will actively bring litigation against you on behalf of the corporations: https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/news/press-releases/2025/04/...

The arrogance with which so many developers post on HN is really exhausting. I thought the goal was to make the conversation better with each comment, not less contextual or relevant.

you keep saying that but it’s been five years buddy

Yeah, that’s mostly been driven by socialism

You absolutely are a Russian bot.

Then just write the code, my man! This guy in this post is CHOOSING to use the LLM.

Choose what makes you happy!

You have moved the goalpost.

Are you a judge or a lawyer? If not, then you don’t know one way or another.
