My question: So what should we do at work?

I agree, and empathize.

But it does not answer my question. Your answer broadly is: we can be sad, I was hoping for a directive response from my parent commenter, specially towards AI at work coding.

Or are they recommending revolution?

But then what would mean AI integrating into coding would be impossible? How do you resolve that with your view? We should ban AI coding?

Poor guy, no life deserves this ending. He got caught up deeper and deeper in his proclamations, painted himself into a corner, and wasn't able to reset.

Does anyone know of a case where someone went through a reset and came out strong after such a "downfall"?

How is it boring? There's such a wider variety of things!

(or are you saying you fond the category itself is boring?)

Jeez - You might as well ask for access to my location, bluetooth, and kids health data while launching the site.

Heres something I learnt ont eh kids side for bedtime routine: choices and consequences. You can have a discussion with them about the choice they have on bedtime, and what the likely consequence can be (getting up late, not going to school etc). Then let them make the choice and bear the consequence. It's both trust building, and genuinely gives agency and outcome to the kids. Not sure if you can implement this, but if you can, it helps.

Don't wish for the period to pass, since parenthood is a sequence of these challenges, this will go and the next one will come. It's rather a chance to "upgrade" your parenting.

Wishing you the best.

About 3x increase. Luna is now a much better deal. Hope they don't increase their prices in response.

How's the money though, relatively.

Not a bad idea. reduces the "blast radius" of these api keys. People leak them rampantly.

sure, when you run the server locally.

There's trillions on the line. So you can be sure this will lead to trusted computing widewine style for ads till the pixels are lit up and the audio waves hit the speaker.

Pessimism wins when capital is opposite individual interest.

Sorry, what model of microsoft? They're dead without their gpt deal.

You're treating asking questions on everything as "outsourcing your entire thinking". It isn't.

You're reading too widely for a simple point I'm making: what an engineer did in Aug 2025, they can do in a fraction of the time in Aug 2026.

Everything else is something else you care about, but producitivty is simply proven for almost every engineer on the above point.

Most people are currently too polite to ask the last part out loud. I suspect it will start changing soon.

Already seeing it in many places.

If you think A is not happening for a software engineer's role, then you are mistaken.

We are all scrambling to figure out what else we need to do (and so are many other roles).

Can you point to any place/post making this argument? I'm an active lurker here, and have not seen anyone arguing for layer-free/blob-of-code type of workflow.

The fact that some teams find themselves there is simply a realization of what I stated - inactive maintainership by not taking code reviews seriously.

This is a fantastic way of working with agents in my experience. It's like have a peer architect who can challenge you and help you improve. You're projecting your own feelings and fears by calling it infantalizing.

It's your code review process (with or without agents). If you don't hold this fort, the battle is lost, and the repo is going to devolve.
