Python existed for years before uv with a huge ecosystem, and will continue to do so after/if it dies

Do you feel sad for people who use a computer or a cellphone or file taxes online instead of paper ? How is this any different ?

I use those tools to make my life easier/faster

That's true. Except that you can have Agents doing it 24/7 with no human input. The amount of repos/PRs is only limited by GPUs

Isn't that the premise of Fallout ?

How much are you spending ? See initial post of the thread. My team has no problems with it, they are spending each 5-10k per month.

I think the output of companies that can invest on tokens vs those who cannot will lead to crazy different outcomes in the next few years.

Why read code when you are getting results fast ? See https://steve-yegge.medium.com/welcome-to-gas-town-4f25ee16d...

I am not kidding. People don't seem to understand what's actually happening in our industry. See https://www.linkedin.com/posts/johubbard_github-eleutherailm...

If you are not spending 5-10k dollars a month for interesting projects, you likely won't see interesting results

Yes I absolutely love it.

Right that's fair. But you can browse websites made with the technology of that time -- maybe ?

Or work with it disconnected on other bits... but yeah. The world you're connecting to has changed..

These are just agents with a different name ? People have been working like that today.

You can buy the same hardware today and do whatever you want with it.

Why do you think the world is going to shit ? Maybe disconnect from the internet a little bit ?

Life has never been safer and better for majority of the population in the world, what good does it do to you to keep engaging with content that makes you feel bad ?

"Live frugally" , "FIRE" , "work in tech"

All incompatible with 99% of the upper class, neither do they want to eat ramen to retire early.

You're also one medical disaster away from being "very very wrong"

New comment by aprdm in "Ask HN: Do you have any evidence that agentic coding works?"

Do you think that won't happen ?

As a very silly example, my father in law has a school in Mexico and he is now using chatgtp to generate all of their visual materials that they used to pay someone to do in the past.

They also used to pay someone to take school pictures for the books to look professional, now they use AI to make it look good/professional.

My father in law has no knowledge in technology, he uses chatgtp daily to do professional work for his school. That's already 2 jobs gone.

People must be hiding under a rock if they don't think this will have big consequences to society

There's people spending 5k a month on tokens, if you're work generates 7-8 figures per year, that's peanuts and companies will happily pay for that per engineer

We are paid to solve business problems and make money.

People who enjoy writing code can still do so, just not on a business context if there's a more optimal way
