I liken it to contractors or overseas engineers. They don't really care about the long-term effects of their code. I does the thing, adds some code, adds test that cover that code, and responds with "Done." At a fully…
I mean... Nobody NEEDs to hold a mental model, but we've been increasingly trying to build that mental model into an agentic codebase... maybe we're doing it wrong but it is NOT going well. The agents jot down…
In theory - if an LLM could handle infinite complexity, I still think that the business issues + decisions end up getting in the way somewhere. AI: "You asked to add feature X. Here are 25 questions that impact feature…
I'm interested in hearing more about your experience here. Were you all just full bore shipping a ton with the per token plans? Was it more effective? How many developers @ your company? It's really interesting to hear…
God do I wish that was her response to my suggestion. "Fair enough - go nuts. Let me know when Claude tells you to transition to Postgres because I'll need to get you access credentials"
So, I did let her know that a storage volume was going to be more difficult to manage, could result in lost data, and would make the data harder to work with - I mentioned it's not the end of the world if it works, it…
Sure - I don't hold it against them. It was just surprising to read a "Claude said you're right" message. (Yes, I know that I'm right, or I wouldn't have said it) Didn't ruin my week or anything, but that was the…
The best/smartest professionals I meet operate this way (because we know we're wrong quite a bit and don't know everything). It's definitely a personality trait. Inquisitive, curious, intelligent, but also there's some…
Wow, oddly similar thing happened to me. Anecdotally, I was working with a non-developer. She was building a reporting dashboard with Claude. I pointed out that the system she built was using the filesystem to store one…
I'm not telling anyone how to raise their children, companies have terms of service. When we can't accurately assess risk, the default we reach for is an age minimum (social media, alcohol, driving). If, in time, we…
Perhaps they can make their ideas reality by learning the fundamentals required to do these things. As much as I think AI is a productivity enhancer, I still think that it's beneficial for people who are still…
Not sure how the public has received them, but I cannot stand to wear the non-pro airpods for more than maybe 40 minutes. They used to give plastic earbuds away with the purchase of a device! I get it, bluetooth vs…
I don't know that it's possible. Once you see 5-10 of "new thing" you sorta understand the base layer + different modifiers. We're pretty good at recognizing patterns. It's cool the first 3 times, but then you catch on…
I have a pretty nice Samsung that I purchased maybe 5 years ago. When I initially purchased it, it was great. No account needed. Did every thing I wanted from a TV (I want it to be dumb) I refused to update it, because…
Am I reading these logs correctly? You gave an agent 100k!? Very bold, hopefully it does turn things around. I had done a small experiment with 100$, but would be hesitant on more than that. I suppose if it's money…
Not saying I get 20M tokens a day, I don't know how many I get or use. My company pays for a subscription to Anthropic and OpenAI. I use the tools at work, they tell me to, it's not my personal data. (There definitely…
I sit here with you. I think the internet is changing rapidly, and I guess it will be significantly different in even 2-3 years time. It's become an absolute wasteland of false, unverifiable, generated content. Who…
Sure - but that's a complete outage for a compute company if the AI gets "ingrained" enough in the infrastructure. How do you spin back up and eradicate the AI, anyway?
I am also intrigued on that. At this point we have really smart developers everywhere who are just... studying what happened after the fact, and we are speculating on some of the facts. They may even be 10 steps ahead.…
So you have 8K worth of GPUs in your garage, and and it bothers you that other tech workers are paying 20$ a month for access to SOTA models? Of course we don't NEED to pay for the cloud, but my company is doing this…
We do at our company (in the ecommerce sector). I set up a way for internal users to connect an agent to our data. We used to spend a lot of time building reports for non-technical users. It's been a fantastic way to…
Yes. I had Codex rewrite and fix all of this in one shot earlier today (using Typescript). Unfortunately, I can not show you the code, because I do not know how this "git" program works but the AI keeps talking about it.
I said almost the same thing. From a business perspective, I get it. 35% increase in cart size??!! Sign me up! From a consumer perspective, I'm going to avoid coming anywhere near something like this. They've got data…
If this is the case, then all white collar jobs go away extremely quickly and.... economic collapse happens? And/Or, if/when they do replace cognition, there's essentially a "laserbeam of genius" and they'll point it…
I'm experiencing similar rubber stamping around my company. CEO hired an AI forward CTO / Head of Engineering. He said at his last company his directive was NOT to look at code anymore. I've watched thousands of lines…
