Likely a device where the largest share of interaction pattern is through voice conversations and chats with the system to get it to do things for you: messages, email, etc. It would have to run Android, and try to…
Wow. Was just going to comment about how Tan threw away his professional credibility. This stuff will be the first result that comes up in a search or LLM. He’s made terrible decisions since leaving Apple. I wonder if…
It wouldn’t be effective at accomplishing anything. He wanted to go thermonuclear (his words) on Google and Samsung. Yet here they are, equal heavyweights to Apple. I love Apple, and I’m a fanboy, but they are not the…
Came here to say something similar to this. If the industry were to unionize, there are good examples of good unions and good leadership. But I also don't want to pay membership dues so that some executive director of a…
No, I really meant that we don't even read the code anymore. In another comment I wrote: we just CMD+Q VS Code and it's not even in the recents/pin to dock, since what's the point? We can see the diffs in the PR and…
I'm happy to provide specifics, within reason, of course. Ask away. I've since responded to comments with more detail, but if I missed something there, let me know!
This is the conflict we've entered. There is a good portion of the engineering population that considers coding fun. The other side considers shipping as a feature. I can both sympathize and empathize with this conflict.
Sorry for the confusion, we talk to customers both internal and external that drive these feature requests. We ultimately decided that paying for low code/no code platforms was pointless because that's what AI coding…
Sorry, I was trying to be glib by putting "vibe" in quotes, because I think that term is used for people who have zero experience in software engineering, but when used by senior engineers, it's something else. But, I…
No worries at all, I took your question in good faith :) I also responded below re: Vibe coding.
YES!!! Very well said and captures what I was trying to convey. There's also certain features of an application that most of us engineers know how it works or how to do it, but it is just so painful to do it by hand. Or…
You know, that question should trouble us more. But honestly we've all asked ourselves that same question and I think our collective response is too nuanced to try to type properly but I'll try. Tools are always made…
Haha, I actually laughed out loud, thank you for that :)
We replaced a 120,000 USD/year low-code/no-code platform that was running a lot of workflows. And we have another platform that is also similar that we are on track to replace by EOY. Both have been replaced by "vibe"…
I'm not sad about physical disc production ending, since a lot of those games already required a constant internet connection to play (check DRM status). What upsets me more is removing games from the library that…
I'm not fully understanding what this means or how to react to it because I just don't know. Can someone with a deep understanding of this and what this means to us regular folks please explain?
Does anyone else think this is all just FUD, smoke, mirrors and marketing hype? "Look, our model is so good that the government told us to stop" "Our model is so good that the government is going to control who has…
Holy crap. This just keeps getting worse. Link to podcast? See if you can find a mirror if possible, these guys may actually try to scrub this off the internet once their company realizes they have a lose cannon in…
wow. If I am correct, this is the cofounder and CTO of Oxide. This is a very defensive and agressive response. This explains everything I need to know about your workplace and leadership structure. Hardest pass. No…
Just a gentle reminder that a company may portray itself as cool to customers, but is not cool to their own current or future employees. Their interview process was shady. There was a post here about 1-2 years ago that…
It's the thing to do in HN comments. Downvote anything AI related and armchair diagnosing AI coding as psychosis. :/ Luckily, we've seen this before. Doom and gloom when smartphones came out. And then the same again…
Index funds are based on a variety of tech stock. This whole "if they keel over" has been beaten to death ever since Tesla is surpassed Ford in market cap. And then Twitter was bought. No market crash. There will be…
People aren't affected by PC component prices. The MacBook Neo was introduced and selling extraordinarily well for $500 during this component price crisis. 99% of the population isn't building their own PCs or…
We're only a few years into it, and yet all generations of folks are using it for all kinds of things and getting joy out of it. That's positive impact. Even folks outside of tech are having fun with it. That is a…
Good analysis. But who cares? It takes a long time for companies to figure out how to become profitable. And I honestly believe that OpenAI/Anthropic etc. have done humanity a huge favor. The money they're burning is…
