I get that you want to be "open", but is everyone involved in these transactions ok with them being shared? Even if they are, this doesn't seem like a good idea security wise. I see partial account numbers and other IDs/numbers that I assume you'd prefer not be public, regardless of how insensitive they may seem now.

EXPENSIFY, INC. VALIDATION XXXXXX5987 THE HACK FOUNDATION +$0.89

FRONTING $10,000 TO CHRIS WALKER FOR GITHUB GRANTS MADE FROM PERSONAL ACCOUNT -$10,000.00

CHECK TO LACHLAN CAMPBELL +$800.00

Transfer to Emma's Earnings -$1,923.08

Probably a lot, but I'd assume it is by less than the fuel that 1-2x more planes would use, otherwise there wouldn't be a point to doing this.

I did a 50% mix of flux-dev-krea and flux-dev and it is my new favorite base model.

I can imagine it is a lot easier to develop these things as a custom version of VSCode instead of plugins/extensions for a handful of the popular existing IDEs, but is that really a good long term plan? Is the future going to be littered with a bunch of one-off custom IDEs? Does anyone want that future?

The article never says why this is good. It just states it then moves on.

> As a whole, I’m sure it’ll give birth to entirely new systems we haven’t even conceived of yet and, one can hope, free up that time and energy towards more meaningful or creative pursuits.

The people's who job it takes probably don't give af about the patterns of their job, or creative pursuits they can do while unemployed. They are probably just trying to pay their bills and feed their kids.

"Worst" is a stretch. Not to mention these often actually do more than just power and time. For example detecting humidity and/or varying power over time.

> You can just have a time (and power) button. People will figure out how to cook stuff.

You could, but people don't always want to figure it out, especially when they are hungry.

This would have been a better article if the takeaway wasn't basically "people are smart, make them learn the underlying structure".

I think good design is recognizing when and how to either expose the structure or paper over it, all while making it pleasant to interact with for all users at either end of the spectrum of willingness to learn it.

For a bike, it pays off to learn. For other things maybe not so much. Combining these two very different cases and then making a blanket statement that "Good designs expose systematic structure" doesn't land well.

With a new bike, you can get a feel very quickly for what "5th gear" works well for and experiment with it and get immediate feedback and try other options pretty much no downside.

With a microwave, I don't necessarily want that level fine grain control. I probably just want to eat and not ruin my food and I certainly don't want to spend time running experiments. Having a preset at least gets you in the ballpark.

If you don't like that yolo culture, move on... you are not likely to change it.

The exact mAh is only secret until the first non-Apple person who wants to know gets one.

If the author is suggesting that more junior devs today than in the past are only interested getting tasks done and the paycheck, then this really has nothing to do with AI.

Totally agree that should be treated as learning tool just as much "give me something that works" tool. If Junior devs are not taking advantage of that side of it instinctively out of their own curiosity and interest, well, maybe they were never going to be good developers in the first place even without AI.

What I can say is that for me as a as senior dev with 22 years experience who has been using using these tools daily for about a year now, it has been a huge win with no downsides.

I am so much more efficient at unblocking myself and others with all the minor "how do I do X in Y" and "what is causing this error" type questions. I know exactly what I want to do, how to ask it, but only partially what the answer should be... and AI takes away the tedious part of bridging that knowledge gap for me.

Maybe even more significantly, I have learned new things at a much faster rate. When AI suggests solutions I am often exposed to different ways to do things I already knew, features I didn't know existed, etc. I feel good that I found a solution to my problem, but often I feel even better having learned something along the way that wasn't even the original goal and it didn't really take any extra dedicated effort.

The best part is that is has made side projects a lot more fun and I stick with them a lot longer because I get something working sooner and spend less time fighting problems. I also find myself taking on new types of projects that are outside my comfort and experience zone.
