But why should I use a tool like Entire, if the "why" is usually tracked somewhere else, in a ticket under the form of user or business requirements?

Once the specs are clear, and the intent is fixed or validated, the resulting code is just an implementation detail, and it can follow a continous merge approach as long as it doesn't drift away.

Exactly what I'm saying: if you think about it, it's just the job of a CI.

If for the "why" you mean why an engineer choose that approach, I'm not interested into digging in their own prompt with the agent: to rebuild a mental model, I can just ask another agent.

Another one: I'm also very skeptical on the "Join the rebellion" punchline. Rebellion against who, exactly? Nothing in the AI narrative has the flavour of something built from the bottom, against an established power; I would say it's the opposite.

I'll suggest something more streamlined, and banal: "Try it now!", or "Join the alternative"

I think this already happened. What's hard to swallow for us is the countless years spent studying, researching, and investing our time to be the best possible professionals in a very demanding, skill-intensive industry.

Now that software development is starting to be industrialized, I think it's fair to react with fear and uncertainty.

Yep, we are trying to find new strategies and methodologies to still stay relevant, but I think they'll become obsolete soon once the technology reaches a maturity point for full automation and the industrialization of the development process.

What it will look like, I don't know (I have a few guesses), but what I know is that I'll struggle a lot, in the middle of my forties, to reskill myself, especially considering a country of no opportunities like Italy.

> In that sense, I think the recent post from Jane Street is more like a new solution.

Can you please share it?

By something that is going to replace my job by writing better code and shipping more features at a fraction of the cost, without asking for vacation? I don't know, boss; I'm also trying to understand why I'm tired.

I'm always skeptical when I read absolute statements like this.

Especially about specs. They drive and document how the software should work, behave, and under which conditions. In the same moment you write a prompt in natural language, you are writing a spec.

Why should they disappear?

For the same reasoning, we could no longer need books or manuals or documents (is it valuable to keep around that doc about F-22 specs?).

Personally my take on the entire affair is quite negative, whatever Jarred or Simonw says about it.

I think Bun owned by Anthropic and the entire rewrite with AI is not the real point (even if it's quite interesting, though).

My take is that Jarred, and Bun,didn't demonstrate a serious, adult approach, from "this is my branch, you are overreacting" message to just proceeding with a 1mil+ PR merged in less than month.

The communication is the issue, and it was handled very badly, in a way that impacted trust and divisions.

Was it so difficult to adopt the approach that the TS team adopted for 7.0?

Although reading this article makes me quite sad; I consider myself an average, mediocre programmer, but I enjoy writing code since it's a way to build the mental model of a problem and to solve it iteratively.

I obviously use agents and all the new fancy tools, but if a great programmer like Antirez says that it's over, I think I'm not so faithful about my future as an engineer.

I just stopped reading here. It's frustrating how so many people can't simply write an article, a document, or a ticket.

Just use your words, come on!

As I was saying, your brain is literally part of your body. It's a living organ of your body that receives those inputs, as you say, from the rest of your body.

> And in principle you don't even need a brain, you could replace that with some matrix multiplication or transistors that do the same stuff.

I completely disagree here, and that's why guessing that a bunch of matrix multiplications are coscient and have self awareness of their own experience while running in a CPU seems quite hilarious to me.

But hey, that's just my opinion.

I really can't stand these guys anymore...

Bro, I think we discarded this idea from Platone and Cartesio a while ago...

Your brain is your body.

Your mind is not detached from it, and you can't feel anything, and so have a subjective experience, without it. Neither, your mind, or "soul" could survive to the physical death of your body.

So...I mean...

How can you have a subjective experience without a body?

That's the point, in my opinion: your physical/chemical state (body) in a given moment is then translated into the higher abstraction of the emotion. An emotion that *you* feel, because you are self aware of what's happening.

How can you be self aware without feeling? And how do you feel, without a body?
