I don't think anyone is worried about user expectations. It's management expectations. The output expectation goes up, while the quality of that output goes down, but is still your responsibility.

I'm not surprised professional software developers are not enjoying AI development.

With that many people out of work, you may struggle to hold on to that capital.

Parking meter payment scams are relatively common.

They're obviously not going to trick HN readers. But the general public is not so savvy.

I want to push back on this. Hacker News was way more interesting before 75% of the submissions were about AI.

If that was true then Anthropic would have built this functionality in themselves.

> Anthropic is not even hiding that they have been using Mythos internally for months now.

This would be more impressive if their software and delivery quality was higher.

No we won't or no it won't. Pretty much to all of this.

This is not optimism, it's delusional.

This is just not true. Especially for frontend development. But I've compared them very recently one to one and Opus wins every time.

Some people have been saying that 5.5 is on par with Fable and it's just nonsense.

I have had the same experiences you've had with 4.6 and it was ever since they brought out 4.7. It's fairly obvious they're doing something like you've said here.

A stable environment with a great culture has lower costs.

But then they have to hire good managers and for that you need to be a good manager yourself.

You wrote a hundred books in a year?

How? How long are these books? How much research did you do per book?

I don't know how someone writes a hundred books in a lifetime, let alone a year!

There's some truth to the fact that workers on H-1B visas are not going to rock the boat. A modern form of indentured servitude.
