Is your primary income a salary? If yes, Then you are not in the investor class

So many people here are brainwashed that the next big thing will make them a billion.

There was an ask HN thread the other day. In which someone notable had posted a vibe coded project.

Literally two days later, some nobody vibe coded the same thing, but slightly different and was absolutely shocked that their post wasn't getting any traction.

The stupidity is genuinely shocking at this point.

Would be interesting to see links.

It was a bunch of quants so very well

I’d haul 55 gallon drums of diesel for measly 1.5m a year

You’ll need that money for the back surgery

I really wonder if in our new world there will be more Fabrices or Terrys. How will people ever learn these highly technical niche skills with LLMs.

I can certainly say every skill I have is because I sat there for hours grinding low level tasks to get something new. Will people still have that motivation?? We might be entering the tech dark ages

There are already people hacking individual LLM neurons. The niche has just moved up the chain.

There are no serious people left who believe this anymore

Anthropic sells the Models the businesses prefer. That’s where the money is right now

no way anyone has 12 "projects" that are even worth working on. No one at any company is working on 12 things at the same time.

I guarantee they're just starting a bunch of half baked random projects, abandoning them half way through and starting 12 new ones.

It's less 12 projects and more 1 project + 11 changes/experiments. Complex projects still get the most attention, but I do a lot more work which may end up being discarded, and agents pick up any tasks which would've otherwise landed in the backlog. Update dependencies here, rebase this branch, start working on this issue, change this and benchmark it, etc.

I had 21 paralell projects in 2019: https://milic.info/projects (all in production).

Less then half were daily projects, others ocassionally.

I mean... I do. And yes they're all worth working on.

I think the point was why working on simultaneously, aside from inability to prioritize.

They're probably calling things projects that most of us would call tasks or minor features.

Sure. As would be expected.
