vips7L··on AI coding has made CI a bottleneck, so we reworked ours to keep up
Amdahl’s law.
vips7L··on I stopped drinking the AI Kool-Aid
This might be dogmatic, but I genuinely don’t care. Outside of the business not caring enough to get a human to respond, I just don’t want to give money to people using LLMs. The technology is based off of theft from the working class. It’s the same reason I choose union businesses.
vips7L··on I stopped drinking the AI Kool-Aid
Yes.
vips7L··on Prompts aren’t Real
This is why I’ve thought that MCP and LLM access never made sense. You’re moving your users out of your brand and out of product.
vips7L··on Why building a Rust LSP is hard
Not in my experience
vips7L··on Why building a Rust LSP is hard
Java has had plugin isolation libraries for decades.
vips7L··on Vinix – A modern operating system written in V
Can they produce decent code at all?
vips7L··on Rate limits on GitLab.com are changing
Claude sucks.

sad days
vips7L··on When LLM judges agree, should we believe them?
I don’t know why anyone just blatantly copies and paste LLM output. Laziness? Anxiety about being wrong? I don’t know.
vips7L··on When LLM judges agree, should we believe them?
It’s awful. A ton of words to say absolutely nothing.
vips7L··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (September 2026)
I’m building my own OAuth provider. I know there’s a lot of options out there but I’ve built one at work for the last 5 years and I’d like to “do it right”
vips7L··on A misalignment of AI in mathematics
So if Y happened (they stole it), why should we be happy about that? Why should we give them credit in the situation where they stole it? Why is that good for society?
vips7L··on A misalignment of AI in mathematics
It was inconsiderate and it was also stolen, just like everything else OpenAI has stolen to train their models.
vips7L··on A misalignment of AI in mathematics
You literally said they _stole_ the work. Why should we give credit to that?
vips7L··on A misalignment of AI in mathematics
It's immoral to steal someone's research. Quite sad that you don't believe that.
vips7L··on A Design Space Exploration of Async/Await
Whether you use async or blocking calls you’ll still want to keep IO at your edges otherwise you end up with tightly coupled spaghetti.
vips7L··on A misalignment of AI in mathematics
We should be happy that they’re stealing people’s work?
vips7L··on A misalignment of AI in mathematics
Why what benefit has it brought? Mass anxiety?
vips7L··on Claude, change the “Add to Cart” button to blue
Just like using LLMs. Completely optional.
vips7L··on An Alien Mind
Pure marketing slop.
vips7L··on Ask HN: Who is using MCP in production?
Dead tech
vips7L··on AI Policy
I’ll say it since no one else is: you don’t have to use LLMs. I still write everything by hand and I’m still shipping as fast as my coworkers.
vips7L··on AI Policy
Other engineering specialties are typically protected under law in many states as well.
vips7L··on AI Policy
I love this guy. I don't want to use this stuff either. It produces a subpar product and way lower quality than I would ever output.
vips7L··on The safest job from AI may be writing
I highly disagree. Code is still meant to be and still is read more by humans.
vips7L··on The safest job from AI may be writing
> That's because it's cheaper to automate than pay a software engineer

For now. It also seems like we're still paying software engineers.

vips7L··on The safest job from AI may be writing
> Good writing requires thinking, reflection, and doing multiple passes

Same with code, but that doesn't seem to matter anymore.

vips7L··on Ask HN: What would happen if your company stopped using all AI tomorrow?
Never used it in any of the projects I’ve been on.
vips7L··on Ask HN: What would happen if your company stopped using all AI tomorrow?
IMO it’s because LLM text doesn’t really say anything. It’s 600% more text and paragraphs for things that could be said in 1 sentence.
