journal··on Ask HN: AI has changed my job for the worse
manual bookkeeper? a quickbooks user? or pen and paper? either way, it's not like any of you are manually entering debits and credits regularly into a journal like they have done forever before computers, databases, and software. we're not losing jobs because of ai but because we're in the middle of switching gas tanks. just a low energy production is causing everyone to panic and blame it on ai. i have so much work i wish i had the money to hire people. they're all just waiting for things to get cheaper. it's not like they don't have enough money to survive indefinitely, if they can make 90mil in two years vs 10mil now, the math is simple, just wait.
journal··on Ask HN: Do Java and .NET developers avoid learning new tech?
it's easier to stand on shoulders of giants than to write C++. anyone with two neurons should always be challenging themselves and there is plenty to do in C++ but they choose these easier languages and frameworks because they probably have family and outside life.

when copilot auto-completes 10 lines with 99% accuracy with a press of tab, does that not save you time typing those lines?
journal··on Ask HN: How should new programmers learn in the AI era?
i've learned linux cmd with assistance from ai which i would have never done on my own. however, even with ai, i still struggle with anything c++ or winapi so it will require more manual effort to fill the gaps.
journal··on Using jet engines for power generation at AI centers.
we're gonna cook ourselves to death with these tokens. if i was a billionaire i'd be enriching uranium under one of those data centers. if walter white could build a lab under a laundromat, a billionaire could figure out how to enrich uranium under a data center.

journal··on Ask HN: Turned 25, Give Me Your Best Advice for the Next 25 Years?
Save on something you can achieve in your lifetime. People saving for two plus years doesn't make any sense. Maybe you should have gotten something else instead.

journal··on Programming language agnosticism is the only way to move forward in life

journal··on Computer science courses that don't exist, but should (2015)
We can take a further step back and say that no one really knows how to do pagination and those who do are sick of it to teach it to others.

journal··on How can newbies make proper use of AI and still be good developers?
You have to see someone use it properly. Generally, know what is possible and just ask for pieces of code you can copy-paste and test. Control the response length by knowing what to expect. Try to model a dialog instead of plain answers.
journal··on Bitter lessons building AI products
maybe if openai let me generate an image through api? that would impress me. instead, they took away temperature and gave us verbosity and reasoning effort to think about every time we make an api call.
journal··on Bitter lessons building AI products

journal··on The Digital Markets Act: time for a reset
sucks that market forces doesn't allow a lone developer to be noticed against one of these companies because people refuse to spend time to try something new. as if time costs money. if we spend time on marketing we will be worse developers. then be surprised when one person takes down entire sector.
