I think it's a little different because: 1. This person is asking us to use/try their product. Very different from a boss/subordinate relationship. 2. This is Hacker News, which has a certain tone and demographic. I…
It’s not my area of expertise, but a friend in the field told me the fun fact originally. Looking into it, it seems like smell has the most potential for genetic variance:…
I don’t really understand what you mean. How can you have a community without identity? Isn’t that just a category? i.e. “a person who uses rust” vs “a member of the rust community”. There’s nothing wrong with either…
Pairs nicely with the fact that smell is the sense most likely to be experienced differently between two people :)
I think this is really insightful. Every "good and invisible" tool I thought of fit neatly into one of those two categories. Examples: Powerful and specialized: automatic transmission, display/monitors Simple and…
Makes sense! My mistake for assuming it was the former definition, lesson learned. Hopefully soon our industry will align on some standard terms. I feel like "AI-assisted", "agentic coding", "vibe coding", etc each have…
I think programming is work, but I get your point :). And yes, of course - I'm mostly just curious how peoples roles at various companies are evolving as they hand off more and more to AI.
To be fair, thraway3837 posted a reply on a sibling comment and offered "AMA" :). That said, I do see a lot of those posts you're talking about, and I think a lot of AI development is way overhyped. But I also think…
Thank you for the thorough reply! I also appreciate that you recognized my question as good faith (and my apologies, based on other replies I should have been less brief to avoid misinterpretation.) It seems my…
Yes, I'm familiar with these talking points. I didn't mention clean code or solid or frameworks or anything like that. However, the poster explicitly said they don't do what you said: RE "talking to customers" > We get…
To be clear, I didn't mean this as an anti-AI gotcha. They also said: > We get feature requests, improvements, ideas, feedback So maybe I misunderstood, but it sounded like the design was external (and based on an…

What are you basing “it delivers more value to customers” on?
Oh haha, kind of embarrassing on my part. Thank you!
What is Halo 14-39? Google wasn’t helpful for me.
Quick fyi that your website is “zoomed in” on mobile safari and a little difficult to use (Apologies if it’s just my device) I’ll take a closer look on my desktop later today, I love seeing new programming languages.…
You know the radiologist you're responding to is a real person? Your last line seems needlessly callous.
> If the choice is meaningless, why defend it? > And if the choice is meaningful, why this? Well said. So many of these painful "discussions" could be ended quickly if people would just honestly answer these :)
Why are you passionately defending this? I doubt the author cares much, it's clearly an example that came about through vibe coding. It's not core to the tech/product, people think it's off-putting, why not change it?…
Sure, and he's probably not being censored on those.
I had a coworker who occasionally clearly wouldn't mode-switch from LLM to person mode when asking me questions over slack, which was very jarring. They were normally were personable and friendly, so it was obvious when…
I consider myself someone who takes it seriously, and have spent time and resources fighting for change. But it’s wholly unrelated to this particular thread, phenomenon, and story. So having a little “ha ha” moment…
This kind of hamfisted snark tends to make people take the actual and justified criticism of police less seriously.
The South does have this problem. But pretending it's /only/ the South does no favors to people who are disenfranchised elsewhere. A quick google will show that it has been a nationwide problem:…
Why is it grossly insensitive? Sensory issues are widely documented and studied. It's probably most well known as part of autism, but it's also seen in PTSD, schizophrenia, CTE, etc. People with these conditions…
