>> The computers will come for all of our jobs eventually, but those of us who refuse or decline to embrace the most powerful creative tools we’ve ever been given will be the first to fall.

It's being mandated by almost all companies. We're forced to use it, whether it produces good results or not. I can change a one-line code faster than Claude Code can, as long as I understand the code. Someday, I'll lose understanding of the code, because I didn't write it. What am I embracing?

>> But AI has sucked the joy of the craft even in my free time.

I agree, and you are not alone. Those who love the craft of programming are forced into a weird situation, and that's where AI sucks away soul.

Perspective and patience changes many things. Work on altering perception by taking workshops, classes, volunteering, reading, poetry, etc. Whatever as long as it's something you haven't experienced before.

Also, I think it's okay to work on your own projects without AI slop-coding. This is how we learn, by doing. There is still expertise to be gained.

A family member recently died from this. It was gut-wrenching to watch the fast decay of life happen, once full of life, then death, with three years. I donated to find a cure.

I'm glad it has helped you. I've used it for some mild life experiences, but I am suspicious about sharing deep emotional experiences with a private company that stores everything. I wonder if creating a throw-away account would offer more anonymity.

Drawing is thinking. Organizational thinking. Viewing a problem from a different perspective.

The co-CEO gives a terrible example. A developer is working while commuting? How clear is one's thinking skills during that time? How safe is that to deploy a production commit? Does Spotify test in prod?

>> For me it's a highly rewarding and enjoyable activity, just like studying mathematics. Nevertheless, the main motivator for me has been always the final outcome

There are two attitudes stemming from the LLM coding movement, those who enjoyed the craft of coding MORE, and those who enjoy seeing the final output MORE.

I agree with the nolanlawson's sentiment. What's interesting is many of the opposing statements here seem to be less interested in the actual code, and more interested in the final state. Both are valid, but one is going away due to technological advancements. That is the mourning.

There are some of us who enjoyed the code as a thing to explore. Others here don't seem to like that as much.

Natural language is not a programming language. Programming is precision. Natural language is fuzzy.

>> spend my retirement having fun in it.

People who have reaped the rewards of their careers tend not to be the ones concerned about their futures. Apathy.

Computers did feel like magic... until I read code, think about it, understood it, and could control it. I feel we're stepping away from that, and moving to a place of less control, less thinking.

I liked programming, it was fun, and I understood it. Now it's gone.

He needs the ultimate focus, there can be no mistakes. That's amazing you got to see the actual climb!

Do you have any photos on social media?

No. Good information can be behind a payed site, and possibly, more investigative. Free sites can sometimes be less verified or partial information. I think the goal would be to have the most accurate link possible, rather than many links that only contain a subset of the information.

Chemotherapy isn't always successful, and depends on the tumor's characteristics, but the idea is yes, less chemo. Histrophy is similar to resection, physically removing a tumor. I've seen chemo options for both scenarios with resectable cancers. For example, hormonal therapy is usually prescribed after resectable breast cancer, regardless of outcome. Or, chemo first to shrink the tumor, and have better surgical margins.

Chemo post-histrophy would remove any lingering cancer cells effectively. Cancer cells need lots of fuel or they stop replicating, and this is what traditional chemo is great at stopping.

Is there a primer for reading these files?

I like windy.com and it shows the pressure lines.

I don't think we're going to get as much, but I do think those flooded could use some reprieve.

I found their wording of "earlier" to be awkward.

>> The first included students about to graduate, recent graduates, and those who have been working for less than a year (referred to as “fresh graduates”).

>> The second group consisted of people with more than a year of work experience, regardless of when they graduated (referred to as “earlier graduates”).

Situational.

IMO, I think it breaks even, but eating out saves a lot of time! Healthier cooking at home? Yes. I studied this for myself (N=1), and my cooking is about US$10/meal give or take (asparagus, chicken, rice, water to drink). If you cook for two or more people, then I think cooking at home comes out ahead financially.

Here's the study on that:

https://academic.oup.com/psychsocgerontology/article/77/4/78...

>> Across a generation’s life course, early-life advantages are magnified through disparate occupational and social trajectories that lead to wide late-life disparities in financial and health resources, in a process first termed by Crystal and Shea as one of “cumulative advantage and disadvantage” (CAD; Crystal, 1982, 1986, 2020; Crystal et al., 1992, 2017; Crystal & Shea, 1990b; Dannefer, 1987, 1988). Dannefer (1987) described the trend of increasing inequality over the life course as the “Matthew effect,” applying a biblical dictum first used by Merton (1968), stating that “to he who has much, more is given, and to he who has little, even that is taken.” This ongoing process has also been described as an “obdurate tendency” for increasing inequality over the life course (Dannefer, 2020).

If I think back (way back), my own leap into "real job" after university was difficult, intimidating. I enjoyed having no real responsibilities, and tried to get the "fun" jobs even though it didn't pay much.

Eventually I had to. The first job I had was at an insurance company and I left it after 3 days. It was so boring, so serious, and no fun! Later, after more interviewing and some panicking, I found a job at a community college that had a little fun, but was much more "real world". It helped me transition.

I think you'll get there.

Happy Thanksgiving / Happy post-Cranberry day!

Um.... you may want to reconsider. nsfw

HN is made for a specific audience, the minimal UI supports the idea of dense information without distraction.

This is pretty good, although now needs multiple variations of the rules to add variety. The brain likes to organize things, and this game takes advantage of that, very pleasing.

As a parent, your view of socialization being "good" or "bad" is heavily distorted. I think of socialization (I am a parent) as a neutral activity, sometimes a skill, although I really don't think it's needed as we live in a mostly secluded society in the US, and verbal communication has been supplanted by electronic means.

This is why I didn't move back to Seattle, but stayed in the nearby communities.

I think the bar will raise a little. I want to see a little more from new hire devs that are beyond coding exercises, because Copilot has solved most of those.

All LLMs are biased by whoever makes it and using the data they provide.
