That’s sucks to hear man but without healthy dialogue nothing can change. I can’t comment on the personalities and company culture around you but in my experience unless product, engineering and design can come together and be empathetic to each other’s position, you end up in a rough spot like yourself.

Easier said than done though.

It makes me sad how right you are. Particularly: > And the latter likes to masquerade as the former most of the time.

You have made me excited to try it. Thanks for the tips.

For me personally, I believe there is a distinction and i try to read book books.

For other people, it’s all good, we all walk a different path. If they think that then that’s ok. It’s all minor in the big scheme of things.

Just my opinion though.

Opencode for harness.

I use GLM directly from z.ai, they do not retain or train on your data accordingly to their TOS.

Absolutely! That’s what I meant by “before passing to a human”.

Fair points, good boundaries and abstractions will always offer easier, more stable extensibility.

I definitely agree with you about this for certain problems but I think for a large number of people, they are just using an ORM to bind to a form to later save back with some validation. There is not much deep thinking they need to do other than which columns to index.

I believe code review is important (the article articulates some of the reasons) but I have to admit, having different models review a PR before passing to a human has proven valuable.

Yes! BEAM and OTP is amazing. Concurrency is one aspect and Go has great concurrency primitives, but what about supervision, and recovery and failure modes? Often they’re left to the developer as per Go’s philosophy which I think makes sense. OTP offers a lot of solutions to this.

I think Go and the BEAM family languages are both great.

Not OP but I have this too. It’s like a voice in your head constantly. It can make writing very easy as you just transcribe the internal monologue.

It’s weird, I’d be hesitant to say “it’s a voice” but it kind of is and it is not my own which I find curious (who on earth is speaking in my head). In some ways it sad, if I close my eyes, I can’t picture a sunset and I can’t really dream. I love reading books but I can’t visualise the settings properly but it resonates with how my mind describes the world to itself.

Don’t get me wrong, it sucks we don’t have it, I wish we had it and I admire the US for having it.

I’m just pointing out Australian’s don’t have the ability to draw on it’s constitution to push back on government censorship which does take place in other forms.

> without exception

Is this based on something or just because “they’re Chinese and they’ll do anything to win”.

As an Australian, I disagree and look forward to opting out.

Also, I’m not proud of this but Australia has no explicit constitutional right to free speech, and no bill of rights at the federal level AFAIK.

Isn’t that a Anthropic limitation? Their TOS only permits their own harness?

I’ve been saying the same thing. I’m not saying all, but a significant amount of comms could be bullet points to the benefit of both sender and receiver.

> The software engine underpinning GitHub Copilot and a growing number of Microsoft products

I’m guessing so it can interop easier with C/C++ codebases? Just a stab in the dark, I have no idea.

I relate to this comment so much. Like you said, just the first in many things we will lose. Gratitude I can still support my family and build cool stuff at all now.

> to have leaked the personal data of 10 million or more people through intent or gross negligence

But to your point, the article doesn’t define what that means.

Indeed! It gets existential real quick.

Thank you for your perspective.

And mine a polite way to say “you are equally uninformed”. We’re not getting anywhere. All the best.

Genuine question, what is it about Ed Zitron that makes him credible in your opinion?

> I’m not sure that follows

To be fair, none of us are sure of anything and I think that’s the part that’s most irritating

I too am sceptical but I’ll take my chances. At least it’s helping the open weights.

The way I look at it, their coding plan doesn’t retain data or use it for training making it one of the cheaper plans for me.

Ok. Replace “customer” with “end user”

> The endless meetings, scrum rituals, code reviews etc were the annoying parts of the job.

Those are all self inflicted and not a necessary part of the job.

I agree. Possibly more fun than ever. Bugs are being caught earlier through AI review, higher quality and quantity of tests, features are going out faster, bad decisions can be easily course corrected and bike shedding is dropping dramatically.

I miss the romanticism of trad coding but shipping better solutions to my customers was the goal. Hard to argue things aren’t better when AI is used intelligently by experienced people.

The origin teams are comprised of the all the best players in the league across clubs so they’re like dream teams.
