Re:Ask HN: Anyone still coding like 2021? Where do you work? on Wednesday September 09, 2026 @11:17AM (#49627994)
I kind of do. Not by will, but because as a consultant i'm most of the time constrained by the tooling and environment i can use at my client's. It's hard enough to build a reliable unit test pipeline or ci/cd, so even if i can use the agents built into databricks, i don't control the harness and i cannot build the necessary guardrails needed to use agents in a mature way. It sucks and i think it will hold me back on future projects.
I'm statisfied by vibe coding-wise, but i found their TUI UX to be abysmal (not that CC is great, but definitely better). I'm talking to the extent of some characters from the numpad not being typable in the prompt. Have you had a similar experience?

Is it? I don't think most of the content LLM are trained on is written in the first person. Wikipedia / news articles / other information articles don't aren't written in the first person. Most novels, or at least a substantial portion of it are not written in the first person.

LLM write in the first person because they have been specifically been finetuned for a chat task, it's not a fundamental feature of language models that would have to be specifically disallowed
