That has literally nothing to do with the article.

I think the domain "yegge.ai" says it all. It's becoming like the NFT craze, and I say that as someone who uses AI every day.

Former gamedev here. This matches my experience. However, working in the games industry from 2000-2011 did wonders for my ability to thrive in big tech. It is easy mode compared to games.

Some knowledge is fundamental and has no recent cut-off. See also: there is nothing new under the sun.

Maybe, but these days a vast amount of software is hidden behind online services. I'm not sure you'd see the hidden iceberg.

8GB? What is this, an LLM for ants?

This is such a stupid argument. A very significant amount of code never makes it into the public sphere. None of the code I've written professionally in the last 26 years is publicly accessible, and if someone uses a product I've written they likely don't care if it was written with the aid of an LLM or not.

Not to mention agent capabilities at the end of last year were vastly different to those at the start of the year.

Googling for it brings up a ton of results.

I'm confused, is this meant to be presented as new work? Windows has done this for a very long time.

What a load of ableist bullshit. Guess what, you can have autism, ADHD and anxiety and still be really fucking clever. The article starts with the premise that they are incompatible.

They both offer virtualized guests under a hypervisor host. EC2 does have more offload specialization hardware but for the most part they are functionally equivalent, unless I'm missing something...

Yes, the negativity is infuriating. This is the mindset that is going to get left behind. I'm no LLM maximalist but they clearly have their uses in the right context and the right hands.

Why would John Carmack who is so rich that he does things for shits, giggles and personal development, give a hoot what a VC cares about?
