Are we already questioning the value of a human brain because of Large Language Models? Glorified search over a vector space? This is actual psychosis

If these claims were true, why don't they point the agents at the numerous stability and security issues they have across their various platforms?

I'd prefer it if people looking at hiring numbers would compare it with the pre-pandemic levels.

There are people who write important software that the world runs on, but they do it outside the 'industry'.

A real industry should be responsive to events of nature, or at least the market, not vibes.

Could you expound more on this? Are you suggesting that less energy use in data centers would help the world's poor?

If the programmer gets to intimately understand the user's experience software would be easier to use. That's why I support the idea of engineers taking support calls on rotation to understand the user.

Both can be true at the same time, a product manager who retains the big picture of the business and product, and engineers who understand tiny but important details of how the product is being used.

If there were indeed perfect product managers, there would no need for product support.

I think most companies doing layoffs are bloated to begin with, AI is just the scapegoat to do the layoffs.

And the goal of the article is to draw attention to their project.

If Mojo succeeds, it could be the one language spanning across those levels, while simplifying heterogeneous hardware programming.

It's the practitioner who eventually figures out what really works. I see this the same way the agile movement emerged. It was initiated by people who were hands-on programmers and showed enough benefit at minimizing software waste before it took a life of its own and started getting peddled by people who didn't really understand the underlying principles.

This would require a robust test suite though.

One of the cases where vibe coding might actually be useful, writing a throwaway tool.

Any examples how you see some engineers being left behind?

People have been drinking too much hopium they have lost touch with reality.

Everyone needs to properly understand these tools before they use them for anything serious.

Just as shift in power and the rise and fall of nations is normal.

They may keep taking the longer and harder route of a mixture of AI and hand coding.
