review the outcome, not the code... if the world continues to be dominated by AI coding agents, the code will increasingly become irrelevant.

I find it impossible not to reflect on my personal experience whenever this comes up. I spend 8+ hours a day on a computer, looking at screens. Probably more. I am looking at a screen literally 10 minutes before falling asleep (watching stuff on my iPad).

I can easily sleep 8+ hours. Today slept 10.5.

I'm either not convinced screens are an issue, or they simply are not an issue for me personally, but if thats true -- WHY?

And risk missing out on the gains in the market that can and likely will happen between then and now.

Most researchers have shown that attempting to play the market is likely to fail in the end. Set it and forget it. Ride the wave.

This is such a good point. It matters HOW you use the LLM.

Come to it with knowledge and understanding of a subject matter, asking for an implementation? That's different from going to it with no knowledge, asking for guidance on everything.

does it work in codex?

if you ask me, there should be an absolute emergency meeting at apple around software quality... its been on a downward slide for almost a decade and its starting to have real impacts.

Curious why you feel that way... Personally I find the feature convenient because I can prompt Codex, running on my mac, with access to everything I've given it access to, directly from my phone. That means all the plugins, the local CLIs, browser control, everything...

Absolutely love it. The West could take some notes. And to those who would jump to downvote, ask yourself why one country is on the rise, and the other is in a drain spiral.

I think this really depends on how you view the problem. What is meant by "Maintainability". Human maintainability? Sure. But throw Claude at the problem, and it will solve it.

Codex does too. It's the best of them. Lets you connect directly to your mac, and run codex ON your mac.

exactly.

leave it to a forum mostly populated with software developers to have the most hyperbolic takes.

It would be cool if one could safely adapt to modern life (lots of sitting, required focus over long sessions) without having to spend time exercising if they don't want to (to be clear, some people want to). Imagine if you could just take something to get all the benefits of exercise, without having to actually spend the time. That'd be pretty great for everyone if it truly was safe and without downsides (skeptical).

Most people don't understand how important, even vital, proper rest is. Injuries are almost always the result of overuse and/or insufficient rest.

HIIT itself is not dangerous, or even bad for you, if you spend the time to learn about it and how to incorporate into your life safely. If you're out of shape, and don't train regularly, go out and try HIIT you're going to have a bad time.

I think you're wrong. I've been running with good form, proper nutrition, and rest, for over 40 years, averaging 20-30 miles a week, and have absolutely zero knee issues.

I think you're running a risk here of turning more people off from running, and doing more harm than good, by warning people of a risk that while possible, is unlikely to affect them.

Generally these types of degenerative conditions have other underlying conditions driving them, and are not simply the result of running. We are born to move.

"but hiit also causes a lot of damage in a lot of ways"

Please do explain this.

Technically weight lifting (muscle hypertrophy) also causes "damage" but in a controlled an beneficial way.

Note that maintainability and code quality aren't synonymous, code quality is just a means to an end, and that end is maintainability.

Many orgs are quickly moving to a world where code quality and maintainability are not a priority, at all. If claude is just going to write the code, does it matter "maintainable" or "quality" it is? No. It just matters if it works, and if its fast, is how the perspective goes.

Why can't we use it in the US then?

source?

I would also add that Cursor's "Debug" harness is incredible. Hit "Tab" in the AI editor to Tab through the options (Plan, Multitask, Ask, etc.)

If you do any kind of on-device work, it will spin up a local HTTP log server, and pipe logs from your real device (phone, hardware, etc.) to the server and do realtime debugging.

Claude will mostly guess, have you copy + paste logs, etc.

You can disable that.

You can turn that off.

let us hope and pray

How this isn't causing an existential crisis in fellow developers, I don't understand. We're seeing our craft dissolve day by day, to the point where even our forums are filled with AI generated crap that we just don't find interesting or engaging.

I mean, I'm totally with you... It's just never clear to me what "enough" is.

???

OBVIOUSLY if you absolutely HAVE to spend money because your life depends on it (ex: hot water) then you're going to be incentivized to spend it sooner rather than later in an inflationary market.

I'm referring to discretionary spending. Eating out. Buying a new laptop. Traveling. Etc.

This statement: "it pushes people to get rid of currency by any means they have available." is just flat out wrong. If you're draining your bank accounts on discretionary purchases right now, that's your mistake.

I would include retiring before you absolutely have to as "discretionary". Now is not the time to make a decision like that, when the alternative is a smarter financial decision (work, save, invest in assets that aren't devaluing at the same rate as currency).

Inflation does incentivize spending, yes.

All inflation incentivizes is finding an asset class that isn't devaluing. If that is what you mean by "spending" then we align. But does inflation incentivize spending money on depreciating assets? Only for fools.

How much do you have saved?

This actually makes 0 sense. Like, do you even understand what you're saying? The value of your savings is decreasing at a faster rate than ever before, so its a good time to stop saving and spend it?

The stock market increasing is not the same thing as inflation. What you're saying makes sense only if you are referring to stock market valuation... strictly retiring because inflation is high makes no sense.

Yes, the biomedical world needs to go through the same boom that tech went through in the last 20 years.

The problem is accessibility. Tech grew largely because of how accessible the technology is. Biomedical research is still very difficult to get into, and as a result seriously curtails the potential progress we as a society could make.

I don't know what the solution is but there's got to be an easier way to tinker, test, explore, and play around with biomedical things (cells, viruses, etc.).

Ideally it would be a purely software world where we replicate everything down to the DNA level so that you can test and play around with potential solutions...

The US has been captured by a foreign power that has no interest in the welfare of the people

Huh?
