No that is not a correct read -it might be based on this past few months or so state of the art, while instead that state of the art is moving forward every month- and at the rate these ai coding systems are improving and our harnesses for managing them- bug handling and brownfield codebases are becoming increasingly accessible to AI coding

Ie you are making the mistake of assuming the tech is static when it most assuredly is not

Well to play the opposite perspective:

If we assume that AI coding is just beginning- we can assume that humans will create systems to help Manage the increasingly complex interactions that machines will code - ie we are still early like when we first introduced the industrial revolution to the peasants (which led to decades of chaos- for sure)

But Just like a 787 is not flown by hand either - doesn't mean anyone is qualified to autopilot it

Complex engineering systems will require sme humans to help manage the underlying complex interactions in way that is comprehensible to human intelligence

No one except for a smaller group of specialists for example these days does much understanding of assembly or compilers.. but we build complex SaaS apps all the time without that knowledge

Eh, that was said about Javascript, electron, node, etc

The world adapted, that is to say if something is popular- they will keep it going through just enough fixes to keep it going

Well looks like my post hit the frontpage of HN, so maybe openai will fix the bug :)

If OpenAI's super-intelligence can solve Navier-Stokes why can't they fix this stupid bug that ate up 330GB of my Mac's disk space? come one please triage your github issues?

Very interesting- will check it out

how does it work from a cost management perspective

Ie one subscription to each project - can we have spools of different claude subscriptions working together-

Trying to contain my dev costs and prevent claude orchestrated agent to subagent api overruns

It’s not ghoulish but it also perpuates a never ending cycle unfortunately- we as in each culture, man, woman are all wronged in so many ways and most have legitimate grievances and are skilled in restarting and kindling those grievances with the next batch of children..ironically religion and nationalism kindles that even further while also providing a base identity to create fellowship between its adherents

But is the only way out further death and destruction?

Blessed be the peacemakers, as they say

New comment by AIorNot in "Americans' social activity has steeply declined in the past 30 years"

AIorNot — Wed, 14 Oct 2026 17:28:59 +0000

So here's the question:

in America we have had 20 years of "Tech Disruption"., making the world a better place and relentless technical innovation, combined with the 'corporization' of America

Has our day to day lives improved?

Do we work less, live healthier, have less stress?

Seems like this (the younger generation) is far worse off then pre-internet connected, smartphone generation

This is hilarious except not a single of the AI generated voices have Indian, russian or south american accents in any of the SRE, Software or API meetings so immediately suspect :) -also everybody is extrovert?

Listening to so many white-coded american voices talk about APIs has never happened in any American company I have ever worked for (Except maybe the Fed Gov)

-please do the needful

Lovely pics, but no country as much as America idolizes and worships its adolescents..MTV, VH1, now instagram, tiktok and all that.. according to mass media we spend the rest 50 years of our lives trying to recapture that short youthful phase.. in reality for a lot people adolescence was a painful and thankfully short period from which you matured and and were able to appreciate adulthood.. nothing wrong with few gray hairs too
