Did you even read it? It's a pretty deep dive yes, but it does have some real background and makes clear claims on what is going on.

For me it really depends whether I'm happy with the result. The code base I work on is such a complex mess, AI often gets lost and I am not able to sufficiently scope the problem and foresee all the subtleties I don't actively remember. That often leads to agents loosing the plot and writing horrendous code. Trying to debug that and steering the agent back is not fun. But if I can avoid that, keep things small and isolated, so it just allows me to get things done more quickly, it can be a lot more fun. I miss the flow state though, with ai i'm way more distracted and feel a lot less productive after a days work.

i mean, fun is a pretty subjective concept, seems obvious that it's personal preference right?

Nothing meta has done is good, or even adjacent to neutral. You work for the evil corporations and defend it…

My take is OpenAI & Anthropic know they are at the point of diminishing returns and need to be regulated to have an excuse for bot making progress anymore. Hold me back bro! Vibes

That's me with old.reddit .com, best change they ever made was starting to block that. I haven't been on reddit in over a month and have, this may or may not be related, felt a lot less depressed and stressed
