I don't see the problem - everything the author describes has, and will always be, true. You can't vibe code anything of value in a weekend exactly because anyone _else_ with the same level of experience can do the exact same thing in the same weekend! This has always been true across all trades and technologies. Once again, the domain expertise, wisdom, and simply _time_ of doing something always win. LLMs literally don't change that at all.

Have you used gemini models for code work? Claude and Codex are miles ahead in terms of quality and how thorough they are

this is extremely strawman - with this your basically saying any software ever that has parts written by automation or cron jobs (even before llms) is not a product worth using? foolish.

Lots of hate for NextJS in here so im wondering what people use as an alternative framework...

Gatsby? I used to use that one until the updates basically ceased to exist.

Vite with - looks good, but at initial glance seems to favor just pure speed for any other feature support like MDX, advanced SEO, etc.

Roll your own with React and webpack? Good luck, and you'll probably end up with something that looks like the others I've mentioned above.

Just surprised many comments are just stating complaints about Next and not providing any counter examples, its very un-HN.

You put this in much better words than I obviously could!

anyone have any insight as to why microsoft chose go? I feel like with rust it could have been even faster!

regardless its been 3 years since the release of chatgpt. literally 3. imagine in just 5 more years how much low hanging (or even big breakthroughs) will get into the pricing, things like quantization, etc. no doubt in my mind the question of "price per token" will head towards 0

google is "evil" ok buddy

i mean what clown show are we living in at this point - claims like this simply running rampant with 0 support or references

idk, codex 5.3 frankly kicks opus 4.6 ass IMO... opus i can use for about 30 min - codex i can run almost without any break

dont let it get to you, the only "worse" consequence is people wasting their time like this projecting things they literally cannot predict. remember at the end of the day, its just tokens. tokens cant crack ssl, rsa, visit a stakeholder, cook a meal, and millions of other things i can list here

New comment by fullstackchris in "The Singularity will occur on a Tuesday"

fullstackchris — Wed, 11 Feb 2026 07:47:55 +0000

You're all wrong; the singularity already happened... probably sometime around 2000 B.C... when humans started farming:

and just remember, we're still on transformer models, tokens in, tokens out - stuff like this with fancy math is just absolute cruft

Verimu - we're trying to help medium and small businesses across the EU get up to speed with the new Cyber Resiliance Act requirements (which start in September!) trying to make it as frictionless as possible - drop in a github action and you are good to go. Web based dashboard coming soon!

and the "hype-wits" don't realize openclaw is just claude with good mcp. there is nothing new under the sun. its just the first time someone was benevolent enough to open source the codebase to the public or it went viral enough to matter... and yet what people focus on is its "emergence" or "agi" - neither of which are remotely true. but good luck "crushing" those "mid-wits"

another slop post - show costs, show what you have built, or at least a tiny snippet of code? (or even just direct links to git repo or projects IN post please?)

getting sick of this fluff stuff

New comment by fullstackchris in "LLMs as the new high level language"

fullstackchris — Sun, 08 Feb 2026 08:19:18 +0000

> Using LLM agents is expensive: if they give you already 50% more productivity, and your salary is an average salary, they are not. And LLMs will only get cheaper. They are only expensive in absolute, not in relative terms.

critical distinction: unless your getting paid comparable to your ouput (literally 0 traditional 9-5 software jobs I know unfortunately) this is infact the opposite - a subscription to any of these services reduces your overall salary, it doesnt make it higher...

then there is the case i know the dishonest are doing is firing of claude or whatever and going for a walk

I mean his rage is somewhat warranted, there is a comment a few threads up of a guy asking what model comparable to Opus 4.6 can be run on 16 gb VRAM...

Supporters and haters alike, its getting pretty stupid out there.

For the millionth time, it seems learning basics and fundamentals of software engineering is more important than anything else.

$1000 a day is such an odd choice of rule... why not just $50? Why not $10000?

so much garbage ego in statements like this. if you really knew about software, you'd recognize there are about a million ways to be successful in this field
