I fully believe there are misguided leaders advocating for "increasing velocity" or "productivity" or whatever, but the technical leaders should be pushing back. You can't make a ship go faster by removing the hull.

And if you want to try... well you get what you get!

But again, no one who is serious about their business and serious about building useful products is doing this.

There is, in fact, a harness built into the Claude Code CLI tool that determines what can and cannot be run automatically. `rm` is on the "can't run this unless the user has approved it" list. So, it's entirely the user's fault here.

Surely you don't think everything that's happening in Claude Code is purely LLMs running in a loop? There's tons of real code that runs to correctly route commands, enable MCP, etc.

Claude doesn't have permission to run `rm` by default. Play with fire, you get burned my man.

Inform me please. Never heard of it.

Who is normalizing merging ANYTHING, LLM-generated or human-generated, without QA or review?

You should be reviewing everything that touches your codebase regardless of source.

I wish I could just ship 99% AI generated code and never have to check anything.

Where is everyone working where they can just ship broken code all the time?

I use LLMs for hours, every single day, yes sometimes they output trash. That’s why the bottleneck is checking the solutions and iterating on them.

All the best engineers I know, the ones managing 3-4 client projects at once, are using LLMs nonstop and outputting 3-4x their normal output. That doesn’t mean LLMs are one-shotting their problems.

Yeah… that’s the point of LLMs: variable output. If you’re using them for 100% consistent output, you’re using the wrong tool.

This seems pretty aggressive considering this is all just personal anecdote.

I update my CLAUDE.md all the time and notice the effects.

Why all the snark?

Again I just tap the sign.

All of your benchmarks mean nothing to me until you include Claude Sonnet on them.

In my experience, GPT hasn’t been able to compete with Claude in years for the daily “economically valuable” tasks I work on.

Uh... yeah. It's called a business.

That's an unfair representation of the situation. There's nothing about this device that implies "disposable". The EU is definitely the problem here. I think the problem is the EU loves legislating entrepreneurial creativity into the dirt.

Who, exactly, is this guy angry at?

Is it really that much better than Claude? Claude has been my daily driver for a couple years now and I imagine if Gemini was THAT much better, I would’ve heard about it by now.

Revenue != Profit

OpenAI is hemorrhaging cash at an astronomical rate.

Assuming a grad income of $80k is an insane starting assumption. MAYBE you’re making that in software (good luck getting your foot in the door).

Any other industry? Biology? Social sciences? Academia? Manufacturing?

I struggle to think of anything other than finance that has a shot of STARTING at $80k. Hell I didn’t hit $80k in software industry until ~3 years in and I thought I was (I indeed WAS) very lucky.

Try as I might, I could not actually understand what the author’s point was.

What is so bad about SO?

lol, no it’s not pirating.

As an Apple Stan, I don’t understand what you’re referring to. MacOS is light years ahead of Windows in so many arenas, I’m not really sure what you could be referring to when you say “stagnation”. Every OS ever released has issues at launch, not sure if that’s what you mean by “regression”.

But man… windows has been garbage for the better part of 2 decades now.

Oh no, a random nobody disagrees with me, what shall I do?

lol, get a life dude.

"You know what I want? More Google inside my tools."

—No one, ever.

Lmao dog make up some more numbers on the spot. 90% of what I eat is raised within 50 miles of me, but sure cope harder.

lol, you’re in California. The wind is racist if it blows the wrong way.

If you can’t see Islam for what it is, I can’t help you.

Willful ignorance doesn't change the facts. California could fall off into the ocean and the United States wouldn't blink. But keep livin' in your bubble if that's what makes you happy.

I have no idea what you're trying to say.

What does this have to do with my comment?

This frame assumes several things:

1. Americans are not displeased with the situation. Ironically, I think this is one place most Americans agree there is a problem. The solution is the hard part because:

2. This presumes a drop-in solution where no one loses. This is where the fight is.

3. This presumes that democracies do what is logical or beneficial for the vast majority, which is a very naive view of democracy.

It’s not clear to me how this is better than MCP. Can someone ELI5?

No, you don’t. But I appreciate you shilling for them. If you did, provide the news article on it, because the Dems would LOVE that kind of firepower.

Lack of any news articles would be VERY strong evidence that it hasn’t happened.

No one is deporting immigrants. They’re deporting illegal aliens. Big difference.
