You know how easy it’s become to find security vulnerabilities already with LLM support? Cyber terrorism is getting more dangerous, you can’t deny that.

I… don’t agree with this at all.The bottleneck of offshoring was always in the other parts of the job, not code generation. It was in communication and feedback, and product and customer needs.

All the developers you’re talking to are in more senior positions which are the safest of all. High paid engineers barely write any code anyway, their job was _already_ abstracted beyond the grunt work. So, when they talk about moving on to a higher level of abstraction, I genuinely believe they are right that those job losses largely won’t affect them.

The difficulty of course will be recent graduates. I genuinely feel for the difficulty they’ll have.

The hallucination problem has dropped exponentially in recent times in code generation. I can’t even recall a time any of the modern models I’ve used have done it in my recent usage. It’ll still do it in cheap/fast models and in places outside of code generation, but the good models write frankly incredible code, especially if you set them up with feedback loops.

If it is it shouldn’t be. There are more important needs for mental health support right now

And it didn’t stop Fermi from achieving incredible things so, did it matter all that much? They’re just complementing each other dude

Ah I see

Ok that’s awesome

It’s like you read my entire post in bad faith. Try again, this time actually reading the words I wrote, and I might consider it.

Don’t be a dick

Who is this aimed at?

I mean I can make up any speculation too if you want. I seriously seriously doubt your claim. It’s extremely extremely rare to find “3-4 hours of maths textbook reading” levels of enthusiasm in 7 year olds.

I don’t doubt he’s talented too. But, it’s a chicken and egg problem and I’m sick of people pretending it isn’t.

Good for you. Those people likely didn’t have a true enthusiasm to learn the content, they just stressed and tried to cram themselves by. Kinda proves my point really.

3 year olds are a terrible choice because that’s confounded by developmental timelines varying in children. I.e. you may as well find a child that can walk at 11 months old and compare them to one that can’t and declare that one must be so much more talented than the other.

There’s a massive body of research showing this is true

I’m confused to be honest as to your point here

Of course the dogs input matters, it matters to the fun of this project. Would’ve been way less fun otherwise.

You could but it would be a hugely inefficient system. Like, just address an actual need dude.

Most saas isn’t limited by the code behind it anyway. That almost doesn’t matter, even before LLMs. It mattered that there’s support, customer onboarding, solving a businesses issues, customer story, adapting to the needs of their business partners, etc. All of which require large amounts of real human work.

If you’re lumping this project in with the rest, you’re just as stupid as someone who believed the singularity would be here by now.

Pretty obvious the whole time that it’s just another tool for now, but that that tool has real value.

Hah! If your point is that art isn’t creative or that all art is useless, you’re really signing yourself up for quite the battle. I would reevaluate your motivations here.

I really recommend you try LLMs again if you haven’t, the last part is really becoming less and less true every day. But I 100% agree that this does not pose a risk to the software developer for all the other points you mentioned. It will just make that trench digger more useful to the developer that needs it. And they’ll still need someone to drive the digger.

I’m not missing anything. Customers getting what they want earlier is a good thing. If the product is flawed, it will be outcompeted by a product that is better designed for customers. You’re sidestepping like crazy my dude

And I say good. Coding and application development being more accessible is a good thing. Technological advancement usually takes the form of taking something that used to be hard and socialised and making it easy and accessible. In the long run, this is a good thing.

They’ve been able to hire someone from overseas for ages for 1/10th the cost, turns out there are other variables in play.

Healthy skepticism is fine.

No harm done no one is gonna prosecute this

Hilarious and perfect. Apple know how to play this silly government like a fiddle. Gotta survive the idiot years somehow.

When the system works against you, why not

So you’re only attacking the title they need to use to survive on the modern internet, rather than the nuanced points they actually make?

If anyone’s analysis is subpar it’s yours.

Brilliant. You can already see the HN users in here with emotional attachment issues who are sad because of the issues you talk about, and it’s causing them to bury their heads in the sand.

It’s going to be a hard transition, but we can’t pretend it’s not happening, that won’t get us anywhere.
