Thankfully programming is solved so these are non issues.

not really? you have people doing it with their voice while driving..

So because some people use Tinder, does this mean that nobody puts any effort into actually finding the right partner?

Said another way: is it impossible to use something which everybody has access to to make something artful?

Or I will try it a third way. Does the fact that people take bad pictures on their iPhones prevent other people from shooting whole professional movies on iPhones?

your message was "Good thing that programming with LLMs takes time, effort an dedication then!"

In answer to that message: taking bad pictures on an iphone is not something celebrate or recognize no.

> Now I'm a meat bag pressing enter on a "recommended" option Claude already figured out was the best approach.

If you are constantly thinking claudes approach is the best then perhaps you were not that good of an engineer to start with.

Fair, but the real question is what this person's manager thinks, as that tends to carry the day. And at the moment, there is an enormous gulf between what the managerial class believes LLMs can do and what people in the trenches know LLMs actually can and cannot do--not as a matter of current frontier capabilities, I might add, but more ontologically.

lmao

How did this come around? the young developer was just faster overall? or were they cheaper?

My original manager left and my coworker was promoted. They immediately turned face away from the team. They fostered a hostile environment and made sure to not make decisions but instead let our team fight amongst themselves. Then they fired the other two team members without a reason and loaded all the work on to me. Then they would waver between I wasn’t working fast enough and “we can slow down if you need more time” for months while pushing back projects and deadlines because they failed to plan for any of those projects. I tried making amends and focusing on work and not the drama, but they wouldn’t have it. Then they started talking about hiring two new juniors for the team. Which I understood to mean they were going to replace me. When one of the juniors started that person was kept away from me and did not meet with me for any onboarding or collaboration. Instead talking to my manager only. Once this happened I still tried to be invested in the projects and pairing with the other new hire. Eventually though a deadline came and I had to explain why the code wasn’t ready when they dropped the new stack they built in private on me days before things were due.

I have no opposition to a new stack but our team already had 6 different projects, two of which were the previous teams next-gen projects. I didn’t want to increase the maintenance surface than we already had with 3 different wordpress sites, 2 nextjs next gen sites, 1 next gen site, and now the new guy’s next project built on vite.

They have a PoC of the new site they released for their semi-annual conferences. It does not work, looks pretty but does not work (essentially because vite has no server API).

So yes, it was an operating capital reduction measure or wage stagnation or whatever you want to call it. I’ve never had a manager that didn’t go to bat for me or passed blame for their failings onto me until that job. Apparently C-suite had developed a culture for pointing fingers.

Yep, its incredibly painful. The entire world has lost its mind

Everyone in the comments snitching on themselves for not reading.

Thats why many large companies are included in this.

Ten days of pure slop then bliss for the rest of month sounds like a hilarious amount of whiplash to get monthly.

The fear-and-loathing generated by those colleagues who no longer can or want to synthesize anything themselves after the token-fueled high does indeed make for good popcorn viewing.

Im curious as to why you think that "model capabilities" and "swarms of agents" are in any way different concepts?

The cost of the N-S disproof was estimated to be $15,000,000 whereas a ChatGPT Pro subscription costs $500.

This basically describes every single PR at work for the past year. Diffs of 10k+ paragraphs of comments saying nothing. Just rubber stamp and move on, nothing else you can do.
