It was always a means to end. You do "work" to drive impact. You didn't think your job was to write code, did you? Your job is to be a cog in a machine that crushes competition. Your job is not about you or your feelings. You can do your "job" now faster? Great, figure out a way to do it with more impact. If you can't do that, find another job. If you can do that at your current job, great, figure out a way to do that. If you don't like this setup, you can do other jobs. Play the game or get destroyed. Read a history book or look at the guy bringing your your Chinese crap from Amazon for alternatives.

loads just fine on my $10k laptop with 10g internet here in NYC

Yes.

This is an AI written advertisement with a bunch of platitudes.

“The shape” — smells like tokens. Each paragraph is too perfect.

100p

smells of tokens

can't forget SimonWilson-News!

Totally. On the same page as you. His little shit Wario mustache is all part of the costume! We see through you Dex!!

Same please

Hierarchies are burned deep into our DNA little boy, u ever read Utopia?

Dex you aren't part of the slop cannon, you _are_ the slop cannon

Yes, the men running concentration camps are 100% absolved of their culpability. Not their fault!

So don’t use it!

Jamaica Bay has _all_ the VCs in NYC!

From what I understand, this isn’t so far from what Germany does with their secondary schools

Serious question, tell me what you think of using IQ tests to hire SWEs? Should we just do that instead?

Imagine the cognitive dissonance at play there, doing some DS work, realizing your product actively makes people depressed...all while driving back to your 5M+ home in a Tesla listening to podcasts about sunning your ballsack

The archetype of the "jerk engineer" is over, because it turns out coding isn't all that valuable anymore. We now need "engineers" who understand much more than coding.

it seemed HN was moving the right direction when we added the "no AI comments", and yet, every single post about a new model is from you and your pelican. it's tired. please stop, it adds no value and has become cliche.

I think mandates are irrelevant. Unless you work at a monopoly or cutting edge domain, I don’t see how anything other than a “software factory” wins.

lowercasing doesn’t obfuscate the stench of LLM

I have a 20$ for both and like each for unique reasons. How do you all switch your programming paradigms for Codex vs CC?

Ai shit post

Does anyone have any solid patterns they can share around the “scenarios”/holdouts concept from the Dark Factory, where you create external system(s) to verify your main one?

I largely agree with you. And, given your points about “not going back” — how do you propose interviewing SWEs?

A lot of people here like this guys writing.

For a longer and more biting critique of SF one should read

Private Citizens (2016) by Tony Tulathimutte

“ Capturing the anxious, self-aware mood of young college grads in the aughts, Private Citizens embraces the contradictions of our new century: call it a loving satire.”
