TheMongoose··on Ask HN: Anyone else find LLM related posts causing them to lose interest in HN
Tell that to the half dozen blockchain job descriptions I read today and closed as soon as they admitted to being blockchain companies.

I'm really interested to watch the train wreck that every "we are replacing developers with AI" company is setting themselves up for currently. At least the cloud has SOME merits, even if it is still vastly overused.

Saw an Upwork post the other day looking for someone to fix merge conflicts in 20 Devin created PR's. =)

P.S. I enjoy your content, keep hacking away at funky projects!

It's not just here, it's everywhere. I'm excited for the day the hype bubble collapses.
TheMongoose··on Ask HN: Who is building the Linux distro with AI foundations?
The person asking the question.

They should get Devin to make it for them. =)
TheMongoose··on Ask HN: Does frequently upgrading dependencies add real value to a product?
Even if there's no "real" reason to upgrade them today, the longer you go between updates the larger and more difficult the task will be when you eventually can't ignore it any longer.
TheMongoose··on How many years do you give this?
Pretty funny how they want to support the most distributed/remote way to create successful software but demand their employees come sit in their weird glass box with them.

Morale, or stock prices?
TheMongoose··on Ask HN: How do you guard against ChatGPT use in technical interviews?
No, I wouldn't waste either of our time asking that question.

LLM's are absolutely not a hammer. LLM's are an Ikea shelf in a box. You're not a carpenter because you can assemble one.

We'll leave aside the argument of whether or not a carpenter would rather buy a cheap Ikea shelf than build one in some situations, but it's also applicable to this analogy.

Your questions are pointless. I have no interest in CS puzzles at all, I don't memorize or practice them, and that's what you're testing for. I write code to build stuff.

Why not have a conversation with them about things they have built instead? Not form questions that say "tell us about a time you encountered a problem you had to solve" but an actual conversation. Like... an interview.
