Nah. I've committed over a million LOC in the past 4 months, discounting personal projects. LOC is a fuzzy measure that doesn't tell much, but, it's easier to mention that than to describe the details of my work.
I'm pretty confident that, presently, with AI, I get more done than I could with 5x hours, but less than I could with 20x hours, and 10's a nice round number.
I'm not defending AI, I'm attacking your logic.
A team of programmers is "worse" than their best member. Worse quality of code, worse thinking. You can usually get more done with a lot of mediocre hours of work than a few brilliant hours, though. AI I've used isn't a…
No. RoR lets you build a certain class of web apps faster. AI lets you build almost anything faster.
That's a hot take. AI has fundamentally shifted things. Start-ups can start up 10x faster, and HN is start-up flavored. If people quit talking about AI, it'll be because it's become foundational infrastructure, so it's…
Nobody knew that LLM's were an option. The architecture was basically waiting there for someone to say, "do that, but turn it up to 11," if I understand right.
Is the alternative is to give the power directly to the powerful? Not only will they hold the guns, but they decide what the markets will bear - often-enough with food for the poor becoming optional, if history has any…
We live in a society
I think it might be like, a praise of inanity.
That's what I do. Both for this reason, and because I don't want to log into my personal gmail on work devices. I don't necessarily feel safe, though, and have moved my important stuff off of gmail.
Um... Claude Code does, or did, though? IDK about others - they don't go down as much.
Because it says it more often than kids say "six seven".
Not only do they have access to the hardware - they've been developing it in-house for years.
Gemini Flash is the one I get most excited about, because it's so fast and so good at real-world knowledge, and it's improving so fast - look at how much the benchmarks improved in ~1 month. It's just categorically…
I haven't had any issues lately.
They've been my bet to win the AI race for a while. I was starting to doubt, but this 3.6, 3.7, and 3.8 arc has anchored me.
3.5 pro doesn't exist yet?
IDK if it's smaller, but I know it's way faster. In one test I did, Flash 3.7 high was ~9.4x faster than Luna High. But, also... Sol crushes Flash 3.7 at writing code in a codebase of any size beyond "tiny". Flash is my…

Do you find the variety helps? I've migrated away from such complexity, and I simply have multiple agents of the same model run the same prompt (usually Sol 5.6 high or max), and generally this gives plenty of…
You generally don't even have to convince it, or at least I don't. I just paste the error into the prompt window, and say "you got blocked, try again", and it'll just say, "Oh, that's because ...", then do it.
I guess we might actually have similar feelings, except, you say "only speed", and "only economics". Only time and only money. As if those aren't two of the most valuable currencies on earth.
> You are pretty fast at jumping at conclusions. Yeah, because I can see some of my own thoughts and experience from a long time ago in your words, and my experience tells me loud and clear that they're outdated and…
OpenAI is what I use most. Sol 5.6 still rejects a few requests a day when I'm working on web apps, but, overall, it's not too bad. I wish it'd auto-resume and try again, instead of waiting for me to intervene, but it's…
