Vibecoders are implictly in favour of stealing content (code, art, books) so they get bothered by others taking a stance against that

I already did move everything there. The responsiveness is great.

I only keep github as a front to showcase projects I want for CV reasons but I host no code there

That's just open source and software freedom views though

They are arbitrers of what projects they allow hosting on their servers. What's baffling about that?

Argument similar to: people still get hurt riding a skate without a helmet, why do I need it anyway?

That's HN. No criticism allowed of llm whatsoever

Yes I think perhaps he's trolling and I fell for it

Ahah you AI bros can't stop talking about Claude and llm, and telling stories of how great it was that one time, even when they are not the topic at hand.

I've built multiple successful businesses in the last year. If you're doing this right you don't need your employer anymore.

Right

What is the actual contribution and motivation of this post?

yeah...right. Go touch some grass

and go about your day.

That's the attitude that got us here. Just shrug along

Your complaint is equivalent to Amazon selling hosted postgresql...

It's not. It's the equivalent of them copying the code, making small changes and calling it something else that they for sure developed in house, just believe

What, no? The point of open source was to help other developers and communities. Not allow corporations to slurp them on a huge scale and sell you a subscription. Corporations always took advantage of open source but never at this scale.

A couple of years ago I used to work for a pretty soulless company and even them were very very adamant of filling all the forms and software BOMs, and respecting licenses when using open source projects. Now it's just slurp away

It's sad to see a forum called _Hacker_ News try to argue so much against the reality that LLMs are having a tremendous negative impact on society, environment and economy, and being on the side of corporations.

Corporations which stole the work from many open source developers that worked for free, torrented books and actively move against open source ideals. Corporations which are pushing for data centers regardless of the cost to environment and populations. Corporations that have been pushing the idea of "ending X,Y and Z jobs" with a smile on their faces. And all for what? The illusion of faster and safer software? When the bubble bursts, and it will, you really think these corporations will be the ones taking the fall and putting up with the costs? The toll will be on us and our savings

I say corporations because I'm done just blamimg CEOs and executives for this, if you work there you're to blame as well.

It was a tongue in cheek joke.

Looking at your profile it's clear you're heavily invested in passing the idea that "AI is going to take our jobs" as if you have some money in the game ...

Follow the vibes

I'm with Andrew.

It was just a marketing piece. It offered many data and pretty graphics but only that, no way to attest the veracity of it.

You have a very fitting username

Good lord, this is funny

So you thibk light might affect, but something visual.. that we see does not?

And it's probably going the same way all the personalized software we've been seeing: used as a spam "I built this" post on reddit or hacker news and to never be touched again.

With hardware you get extra safety risks of fires and shocks, so let's see

Well and my experience of 2 years working full time with AI (and 15 others of engineering) on safety critical adjacent products tells me you're full of it and wrong.

We've had 4 teams on this model and sure it helped in some things (mostly data analysis and scripts) but generating code and doing architecture is utter crap 90℅ of the time. So much so that we've even had juniors noticing some design patterns that, and I quote: "this is one the examples of bad code we were taught in sw design classes'. The worst is how non deterministic they are. The same prompt from different people yields vastly different results

SW engineering is mostly x + y + z Where x=planning, y=writting code and z=reviewing, then rinse and repeat. Llm spedup y but made everything else take so much longer that equation result is much worse. Now reviewing is utter torture and during planning we're dicussing how to mitigate the pitfalls of LLM (like over engineering, too many abstractions) that we spend fewer time on the planning of the engineering itself and more on cuddling this brain addled tool

I’m clearly much more productive now. I’m doing five things at once very effectively, switching between multiple agent sessions from morning to night. After working full-time like this for ~8 months, one thing I’m sure of is that this way of working involves much less time spent in a flow state.

What an utter piece of BS. AI goons really like to smell their own crap

If you think performance relates to speed and amount of code per unit of time yes. If you're more grounded with the reality of software engineering then no

Don't really want to wait. My company progressing forward with it despite the engineers' feedback is a clear signal I don't want to be here

Perhaps Im a bit too dense the follow the analogy

Sure and what is the issue of that? Myself and those close to me have worked very hard so I can be confortable in life

My current company, even though slower than the industry, has started pushing AI-first for everything. Funny that as soon they announced it they started losing senior developers and most teams are now composed mostly of juniors + 1 senior.This on safety-critical adjacent products. Burnout and bugs are rampant. As a counter measure they are increasing salaries of the seniors but with low adherence.

I'm currently looking and I'm considering cutting my salary up to 50℅ to work for a company with a very interesting product that doesnt push AI and let us instead decide where to use it.

I'd rather lower my quality of life than put up with this bs and being forced to use a tool that I disagree so much on an ethical and moral pov. Let alone letting managera decide which tools I have to use on my engineering work

You're naive, uninformed or turfing if you think companies are still not tokenmaxxing.

Also tokenmaxxing was never an intentional and smart strategy employed by companies like you say. It was a mix of fear of missing out, signaling to investors they were in on the hype and recouping investmenets in data centers

Sorry

Ok, and? Where did I say otherwise?
