A company which is dishonest from the start will continue to be dishonest going forward. DO NOT FALL FOR THIS BULLSHIT.

Please do use it in a crowded office or coffee shop. The gene pool needs some chlorine.

Limits are there to prevent unwanted behaviors, either accidental or malicious.

corporations will simply legislate not to use it; people who think this is an easy solve for becoming proficient with linux will use it and fail in myriad ways, including:

- upstream ai is offline / dead / rate limited. You can't use your machine now

- upstream ai hallucinates - you have no more / now

- upstream ai is haxed - you have everything, but it's working for someone else now

perhaps it's just evolution for nerds - the morons who pick this will be cleansed from the pool

"I’ve been writing 99% of my code at Airbnb with LLMs. If you think this is a bold claim it means you’re doing it wrong."

no, son, I can just tell you that you're "writing" inconsequential code, and it's likely going to come back to bite you; I use claude regularly, and claude is probably one of the least-shit ones, and I have to push back _a lot_ because it quite often completely and utterly loses the plot. I continue to use it for the cases where it doesn't, so it's a bit of a gamble, but often pays off. Unless, of course, everything is down, or half-down, like it was on Friday, when I just gave up asking Claude for anything after a bit - there was no point.

Everyone is all for self-determination until that self-determination counters their own wants / beliefs. I'm only still here because I have responsibilities to fulfill. At least I got what I chose.

I think emergence comes from complexity, not constraint. Constraint may kill emergence, but constraint on its own means nothing. What's the point of laws in a country with zero inhabitants?

It won't change until the US government sees the people as actual people, which they clearly don't - not just from the healthcare standpoint, but with general policies, and blatant disregard for actual democracy: when you have over 1/2 the nation saying "please get out of the war", and you carry on anyway, what even is the point of your democracy?

"iphones have better apps" - that's a very opinionated stance, that really should have been worded "iphones have the apps I want". Because I have an android phone, have had for, what, 2 decades now? Since the galaxy s1... And my wife has an iphone - because I started her on that route, because at the time, it was the s1 vs the iphone 3g, and the iphone 3g definitely felt like the superior option, especially with hobbled software updates in my country. In the ensuing years, I've had to support her phone and mine, and I can easily say, hands-down, that my app preference is not on the iOS platform. Doesn't mean "Android is better than iOS" - just means "Android suits _ME_ better than iOS". I even tried a couple of windows phones (my company had them for us to dev on), as well as her old iphone when she upgraded) - and by "tried" I mean, "daily drove" for a week or more. My experience was frustration with the locked-down nature of iphones, disappointment at the small app market for windows phones (even though the hardware - nokia - was glorious), and an eventual return to android even though battery life on the windows phone was phenomenal (the platform simply doesn't allow hogging the cpu - both a challenge for devs, and a boon for users).

Honestly, I'm rather bored of people telling me that their opinions are facts, and the best out there. They're tools for tasks. The author didn't prefer Android (and doesn't really clarify beyond the "apps" line, which is a clear indicator that they became accustomed to specific iphone apps they couldn't find alternatives for - much like how I was frustrated with an iphone for a week, for the same reason).

it's not really a caveat - the other points raised apply here too: – Agents are in a nascent stage and can’t replace people – LLMs make mistakes regularly – AI costs are subsidized now, but won’t be forever

all of these apply in software dev, and the people telling you it doesn't are just plain bold-faced lying - most of those liars stand to make a lot of money off of you believing that these self-same problems don't apply to ai codegen.

otoh, i'm not - everything has to die sometime

that doesn't mean you have to feel the same - so go for it
