>> Go create value for others and don’t worry about the returns.
This is just so disconnected with reality. Any new worthwhile project will take few months of full-time work minimum, how many people can invest few months of unpaid full-time work with no guarantees of success. and that's not even considering the amount of time it takes to acquire the necessary skills.

I never hijack non-ai threads to talk about AI, but can anybody share their experience using LLMs to code in Coq, Lean, etc.

Nice idea but the search is pretty bad, try anything: Cup, forks, house, etc. It all fails.

If you are working on open source databases, or something close to the metal I agree with antirez, if you are working at some established tech business (e.g: a very old ecommerce site), I agree with you

With the rise of LLM-coding do these specialized/niche languages lose their edge? (i.e: prototyping speed, job security, etc)
Re:Not So Fast: AI Coding Tools Can Reduce Productivity
on Thursday July 10, 2025 @08:06PM (#44527086)
LLMs make me 10-20x more productive in frontend work which I barely do.
But when it comes to low-level stuff (C/C++) I personally don't find it too useful. it just replaces my need to search stackoverflow.

some of these companies are straight up inept.
Not an AI company but "babbar.tech" was DDOSing my site, I blocked them and they still re-visit thousands of pages every other day even if it just returns a 404 for them.
