Code is now cheap and plain-English prompts.

And good agentic AI usage seems to come down to two things: being able to judge AI output quality, and making sound architectural decisions, like not defaulting to React just because the LLM is most comfortable with it, or not picking a stack based on what the model prefers rather than what the project actually needs.

So my question is: should I be pivoting my learning toward books and courses on code quality and best practices (testing, edge cases, defensive patterns), and on system design (knowing when to reach for React vs Vue vs Astro, Cloudflare vs Firebase, etc.)?

Curious to know what you think about this

RealAboutInstagram – a replica highlighting harmful strategies

SantiDev — Tue, 25 Jul 2023 18:01:12 +0000

Hello HN! I'm a creative technologist and recently decided to develop RealAboutInstagram, a replica of the current About page of Instagram replacing its content with their current harmful strategies used on the platform and the negative impacts of social media.

The information on the website is extracted from resources such as the Digital Minimalism book by Cal Newport, Ted Talks, and many others that can be found in the footer.

This is one of many projects for my career, and I appreciate anyone taking the time to read this and check out the website.
