ex-aws-dude··on Agentic Coding Is a Trap
You can just keep asking questions till you understand it

Claude code is insanely useful for explaining other peoples code

ex-aws-dude··on Agentic Coding Is a Trap
Not every company works like that

Big tech has a lot of wankery like that but smaller companies can be fast and scrappy

ex-aws-dude··on Agentic Coding Is a Trap
Yes, the agentic tools are much much better because they can gather their own context automatically and run feedback loops to self-correct errors.

IMO it still does save time generally but it’s not as much of a huge gain if you’re doing this.

I will admit there are occasional times after iterating so much I’m not sure if I’ve even saved time because going from “it works” to “it’s up to quality” takes so long

ex-aws-dude··on Agentic Coding Is a Trap
The thing is the code quality is still ultimately up to you

Nothing stopping you from iterating with the agent till the code is the exact same quality that you yourself would write

ex-aws-dude··on Ask HN: Rant, Am I bad or is this a company with a poor tech culture?
You can just say they are bad? You don’t have to be such an overthinker

They rely on customers calling to fix stuff?

Why so allergic to calling out bullshit?

ex-aws-dude··on Palantir employees are starting to wonder if they're the bad guys
> There’s nothing more natural than one animal eating another

So how do you get from that to human cannibalism == bad?

The naturalism argument has a zillion counterexamples of things that used to be considered natural and now we arbitrarily consider bad.
