unfortunately, unless you are god level good (i would say top 100 developers in the entire world), you will be fired eventually.

like the spirit but want to point out that this is the definition of survivor bias, most people in the past didn't survive the famines, plagues, world ward or ice ages.

Your comparison is flawed because you are comparing now. what you should do is to analyze what happens 10 years from now in both places.

android521 — Tue, 30 Dec 2025 05:13:41 +0000

No one from the comments offer a real solution. They gave advice on how to cope with it not solving the problem. Here is my two cents on a real solution, do a study abroad for a year and choose asian countries (especially china), you will find yourself very popular and will have 10x easier to make friends and girlfriend as long as you are not too weird. (note: i am asian and live in asia, foreigners (assuming from the west) have it much easier here).

New comment by android521 in "The Gorman Paradox: Where Are All the AI-Generated Apps?"

android521 — Mon, 15 Dec 2025 03:25:55 +0000

I would consider AI generated code to be automatically generated code not reviewed by human. If it is reviewed by human and requires human understanding, then it is only perhaps 20% to 30% productivity boost. From my personal test, automatically generated/tested code without human understanding are not there yet

android521 — Thu, 11 Dec 2025 03:10:34 +0000

The ones that actually match POSD (deep modules, small interfaces, lower complexity) and work great with plain functions are:

Module Pattern

Factory Pattern (factory functions)

Mediator / Middleware Pattern (as function pipelines)

Hooks Pattern (custom hooks, generalized)

Container / Presentational Pattern (implemented with function components + hooks)

Everything else is either neutral, UI-only, or fights POSD (Singleton, Mixin, etc.).

Patterns from that page you should treat skeptically for POSD

From Patterns.dev, for your POSD-style codebase I’d avoid or downplay:

Singleton Pattern → encourages global state and tight coupling. Patterns

Mixin Pattern → tends to increase interface surface and make dependencies opaque. Patterns

Observer Pattern → powerful, but event-based wiring can obscure data flow and increase “system complexity” (classic POSD warning). Patterns

New comment by android521 in "Ask HN: What has been your experience with Agentic Coding?"

android521 — Fri, 05 Dec 2025 05:23:41 +0000

Look, by this time, most should already have realized that vibe coding or agentic coding is doing more harm than good. It is a great tool if you use it for debugging,code understanding , writing/refactoring a small unit of code because it speeds you up and help you learn. You're doing it right if llm helps you understand and write code faster but you must be the driver and be able to have a clear mental model of how the code works. If you just write spec and ask llm to implement and only look at the code when something goes wrong, you would quickly learn that the llm debt will grow exponentially and it is counter productive.

The answer is friction. What % of this billion of users will bother to export their chat history (which is already a lot) and import another another llm. That number is too small to matter.
