adithyassekhar··on Elevated Errors in Claude.ai
Are they just looking for AI skills? If so that's terrifying.
adithyassekhar··on If AI writes code, should the session be part of the commit?
Both the manager and junior are a cost center for the company tbh if there are fewer employees to manage. Already seeing it here on this side of the pond: https://www.reddit.com/r/developersIndia/comments/1rinv3z/ju...
adithyassekhar··on Elevated Errors in Claude.ai
Are employees from Anthropic botting this post now? This should be one of the top most voted posts in this website but it's nowhere on the first 3 pages.

Also remember, using claude to code might make the company you're working for richer. But you are forgetting your skills (seen it first hand), and you're not learning anything new. Professionally you are downgrading. Your next interview won't be testing your AI skills.

What is a junior? I don't see it in claude.

Welcome to a new generation of developers (not by age) who wants unstructured word slop markdown instead of clear jsons. People's brain are turned to a mush because they no longer think in a logical way, that's the LLM's job.
adithyassekhar··on Smartphone market forecast to decline this year due to memory shortage
Strange attack on a very valid point. An extremely small segment goes outside the regular phone/social media/video space that actually uses these faster chips. For others the experience haven't gotten better relative to the faster hardware. Where are those cycles going?

It's because of a lack of centralized push message service. Here we have google cloud messaging to handle notifications for all apps. They don't have google in china, so each app establishes it's own connection to it's servers and that kills the battery. If you buy the global version of those phones it's often better.
adithyassekhar··on Don't trust AI agents
Really good points about ai making gigantic heaps of code no human can ever review.

It's almost like bureaucracy. The systems we have in governments or large corporations to do anything might seem bloated an could be simplified. But it's there to keep a lot of people employed, pacified, powers distributed in a way to prevent hostile takeovers (crazy). I think there was a cgp grey video about rulers which made the same point.

Similarly AI written highly verbose code will require another AI to review or continue to maintain it, I wonder if that's something the frontier models optimize for to keep them from going out of business.

Oh and I don't mind they're bashing openclaw and selling why nanoclaw is better. I miss the times when products competed with each other in the open.

adithyassekhar··on How do I cancel my ChatGPT subscription?
Same I furiously clear memories. This is a tool, not my friend or assistant.
adithyassekhar··on Samsung Galaxy update removes Android recovery menu tools, including sideloading
One ui 8 completely removed bootloader unlocks anyway. This recovery only allowed the user to flash official samsung images now that's gone as well.

Why does every new app and website use this off white color and that one font?
adithyassekhar··on Rtk – reduce Claude Code token usage
Extremely poor choice for naming. Rtk is already a thing.

adithyassekhar··on Layoffs at Block
Could it be that these other candidates work for cheaper? They might be scared of your credentials. It's disheartening that this field has come to a race to the bottom, accelerated by AI. It's not the juniors that are at risk, it's the seniors.
adithyassekhar··on How will OpenAI compete?
Yes this was not relevant to the main topic of openai. I'm just responding to the statement made by the parent comment.
adithyassekhar··on Why Developers Keep Choosing Claude over Every Other AI
Does anyone know if using claude with opencode violate their new policies?
adithyassekhar··on How will OpenAI compete?
It's sad how hardware improves leaps every year but software still does the same things but slower.
adithyassekhar··on How will OpenAI compete?
There's this thing called power of defaults.

If a setting is default, if an app is presented on the front they'll continue to use it as it is. The crowd here always overestimates how competent/interested the general public are in these things.

99.9% (source: my life) of users never even open the second level of the settings app. 99% don't even open the settings app. They don't know how much they can even change or care.

iPhones auto surfacing airpods to pair with was not for convenience it was a necessity. People don't know how to pair with bluetooth. Now android does it as well.

There's a generation that grew up with appliances that accounted for their mistakes rather than failing. There's no need to learn or understand how something works.

adithyassekhar··on Windows 11 Notepad to support Markdown
Oh god no, it's not the maintainer. It's frankly a student with no prior experience in both the language and the codebase, asking the maintainer permission for pushing a lot of ai generated code with chatgpt for his resume?

Atleast he has the decency to ask for stuff first and being straight.

Hilarious comment by the way https://github.com/microsoft/edit/discussions/682#discussion...

adithyassekhar··on How we rebuilt Next.js with AI in one week
I understand your point, but at some point someone needs to think about morality.

If you or I copied and reimplemented nextjs in a better way, it doesn't feel as wrong. But when a large company does that and then brag about it, it's in poor taste.

Especially pointing out one developer and 1000 usd of tokens replacing the efforts of hundreds of talented developers. There's people on the other side of the screen.

adithyassekhar··on How we rebuilt Next.js with AI in one week
It's wild. If I need to steal someone's code, I just need to let an ai crawl it and it'll regurgitate the same thing. I can't wait for it to recreate marvel movies.
adithyassekhar··on How we rebuilt Next.js with AI in one week
If it is a multi million dollar company? Yes absolutely.

> Surprised this didn't get a higher placement on the HN front page, only 34 points?

Vercel may be bad, but they have been a net positive to the web landscape, so many projects are alive because of them. And I truly respect the hard work the next devs put into their code and test suites. I'm surprised any self respecting dev even votes this up.

> We also want to acknowledge the Next.js team. They've spent years building a framework that raised the bar for what React development could look like. The fact that their API surface is so well-documented and their test suite so comprehensive is a big part of what made this project possible.

Hi next.js devs, we like to acknowledge the effort you put for writing good tests so we were able to rip it off. You know claude already has next's entire source code in it's training data?

adithyassekhar··on Microsoft execs worry AI will eat entry level coding jobs
I saw my doctor using chatgpt. But he's experienced, finished his schooling before all this. I wonder about the next generation of people who are supposed to save lives and build bridges
adithyassekhar··on Google restricting Google AI Pro/Ultra subscribers for using OpenClaw
Yes especially if you have a developer account. Sometimes an app rejection did result losing not just the entire google account but also the developer's private google account.
adithyassekhar··on Google restricting Google AI Pro/Ultra subscribers for using OpenClaw
I based my comment from one other comment posted here. Should've done some basic thinking. Clarified in my original comment.

Edit: I have misread some of the comments here, he didn't lose access to his whole account and data just the antigravity part. I should've done my due diligence, get out of bed and spent more time thinking instead of emotionally reacting. Guess the rage machine got me as well. Damn. I think this thread might be hijacked by ai bros.

The main point still stands, google is part of a duopoly that runs the world. You can't be a functional member of society without them. They're like a public utility and plays too big of a role in people's life to take decisions based on unknown internal policies. They're long overdue for a government intervention or for splitting up.
