Sure, except it has an insane markup for what are some of the cheapest ingredients one could source.

$50 for flavoured salt is pure insanity.

It's not about style or formatting, people are tired of reading slop.

I've never seen BAs execute that way. I don't think that is an accurate description of their role and its link to SWEs.

This looks great, I'd happily buy one if they are proven reliable and can remain a sustainable company.

it's cheaper than hiring/training/providing benefits and career growth to real humans, at least for now

I'd rather read imperfect human writing than modern day AI slop. Seeing human writing "mistakes" like this is a breath of fresh air.

It's popular because they have the best models and they are burning obscene amounts of money handing out tokens via subscriptions (for now) at a huge discount compared to what the API costs are.

Claude Code itself is incredibly buggy and as we have seen the codebase is a complete mess of slop.

The reviews don't happen...

Nothing about the information it feeds you is novel. It's all stolen repetition of someone else's work.

Slack has suffered the same thing under Salesforce.

Maybe someone will finally add tmux/zellij support…

I would argue it couldn't be more different. I can dive into the source code of any library, inspect it. I can assess how reliable a library is and how popular. Bugs aside, libraries are deterministic. I don't see why this parallel keeps getting made over and over again.

I literally use my tesla every time with FSD and browse twitter while it drives.

You realize if your vehicle kills someone this would put the blame on you, right?

One path is that you could try to transitions within your current org. This should be particularly easy in startups, which is where you say your experience is, as startups have a lot less rigidity in roles/responsibilities and you could contribute to infrastructure efforts to build up context/knowledge.

From there, you can leverage that into an "official" infra role.

I do wish they'd focus on closing the gap to Jetbrains by implementing the QOL features that are missing. I understand they have to do what VC wants to see, but this agentic stuff is so tiring.

Tesla self drive was also supposed to take over the world 5 years ago. Still waiting

I have unfortunately found myself doing stuff like this too, although maybe not as egregious.

I think part of the problem is that our brains are wired to look for the path of least resistance, and so shoving everything into an LLM prompt becomes an easy escape hatch. I'm trying to combat this myself, but finding it not trivial, to be honest. All these tools are kind of just making me lazier week over week.

Are we in a bubble yet? Still no? Ok...

Hmm, it was a while back so now I'm struggling to recall, but I remember feeling like I'm going against the grain of easily using GitHub. I followed this exact tutorial at the time and it looks like there are now sections on how to work with GitHub.

Perhaps I need to force myself to commit for longer...

I'm still struggling most with the fact that my day-to-day work involves a git first platform like GitHub.

Although jj as a vcs system, it does feel better, working with git through it still feels like a chore, but to be fair I only gave it a day before going back to git.

Does anyone have any good resources on how to augment a git flow through the lens of a git hosting platform to work smoothly and still reap the benefits of jj?

Seems extremely disingenuous to say that one year ago models could barely write a working function. In fact, there were plenty capable of writing a working function with the right context fed in, exactly as today.

I would urge you to take a look at the founding team here, I doubt that they vibe coded this tool.

any chance you'd be willing to share what the service is? I use streameast all the time but it's not reliable enough

Man, this is such an odd take. I don't need to imagine, I grew up in a country where math teachers would laugh you out of the classroom if you asked to use a calculator. Guess what? We did everything manually.

I then moved to North America for my last year of high school, and was appalled how much behind a typical 90th percentile student was compared to me and my peers back home. I was probably about 3-4 years ahead. It also took me 30 minutes to learn how to use the TI calculator that I now needed, but I was ahead in just about every other measurable way. So I would urge you to think twice about this. AI won't help your children develop their brains, it's offloading thinking to a statistical black box.

Building hydro energy requires a very specific geography. You can't just take any river and turn it into an efficient hydroplant.

I think this is exactly what/how C-suite thinks. It's incredibly dumb because of how much hiring/firing costs in terms of ramp up/context/productivity etc, and inevitably, they will have fired people that are great and have kept people that suck but know how to play the game.

It seems plenty obvious, but there's also scientific backing slowly catching up: https://www.media.mit.edu/publications/your-brain-on-chatgpt...

I would urge you to leverage some critical thinking, re-read what I stated, and identify where I said that the models are of no use to me. If the ability to think for yourself without AI assistance hasn't fully atrophied on your end you may be able to see that you are the moron in this thread.

Art is about creating something from scratch. This isn't creating anything but cobbling together elements of scraped/stolen content to generate an imitation of prior work.

Copying AI slop isn’t producing output! It’s also not conducive to learning
