I've heard this "reversing covid-era headcount growth" for every layoff for the past 4 years, how much headcount growth is there to reverse?
surely once there's been enough patches the code will be perfect though?
tons of people these days reflexively respond to long comments saying they're AI one could wonder, how many of these reflexive AI replyers are themselves AI
This was the most male gazey article I've read linked from HN. Some real Don Draper vibes.
I wish we could go just one day without a company proudly engaging in Torment Nexus related activities.

Great idea, get an AI art tattoo so you can always be reminded how AI art looked in 2026.
Test coverage for its own sake is not always a worthwhile goal.
"Confidently wrong" is definitely a standard behavior model for LLMs. I agree with the other reply that you're likely to get better results if it has some kind of test case to run that's more authoritative than its own…

Why would we want to have robot cars that only drive as good as humans can?
no accountability so far
you don't need to be an LLM to have LinkedIn brain, but it helps
This is the major part of her argument I didn't understand. As I see it, the "infra as code" transition means going from more ad-hoc changes to less. Predictable, auditable. Using LLMs to replace mostly-working code…
As someone who has seen srcset and picture but never used them in practice, the background was kind of useful. but I can understand people finding it annoying
FACO, f around and cash out
Not all tech employers are total weenies who would refuse to hire someone for taking this stance. Most are, but not all.
this was supposed to be exactly that
but anyone who gets into a Waymo that smells like dogshit can get out, report it, and wait for the next one. Are you describing a real problem or just one you imagine?
Once you're a big enough company hiring needs to be its own workstream just to keep up with attrition.
Why would we be any more likely to implement it, relative to the solutions that humans have already figured out for climate change?
Moreso than just the visual assault from going to a Fandom page, these things have got to have an impact on global battery life. Having a couple Fandom pages open in tabs can drive my laptop fan crazy and turn my phone…
