good observation, it also cant produce flux capacitors of acceptable cochrane factor, quite puzzling

Is it ok to send DMs to your side piece when your partner is away?

Employer relationships are not much different, if you choose to do it, do it on the sly or suffer the consequence ;)

If you are a contractor (bachelor) situation may be different...

right, but what I mean more specifically is AI assisted or conducted interviews and specifically in the EU, which is notoriously behind US on tech adoption.

I would say hiring is picking up now at least in europe. partially driven by re-arming and deep tech efforts.

think we gonna see a lot of AI interviews very soon, which I think is a bit meh, but probably better than what we had before with grinding leetcode, which is a complete waste of time.

Anything in physical world, digital is lost forever..

Robots will eventually encroach on physical too, then the subset will shrink to "physical world with required human interaction".

For me the question now is whether we will ever get a place where humans will prefer to interact with embodied AI robots over other humans.

iExploder — Mon, 27 Jul 2026 07:01:29 +0000

My read is that If your codebase needs a lot of unsafe - on intersection of hw, need a lot of memory allocations with custom memory allocators, can take advantage of comptime, using a lot of c dependencies anyway. Maybe zig makes sense? It's a very niche space.

Arch for last 5 years, never had issues, but I also buy laptops specifically with Linux support.

Pompous and full of air really sums it up well. As such I usually have to completely ignore and rework generated README / code comments.

Is this just an elaborate scheme to increase in/out token churn or are we hitting some kind of LLM limitations I wonder?

Code was garbage before AI, now it's still garbage, but I don't have to take it out anymore. Amazing.

Juniors are doomed, nobody is writing anything ever again by hand.

New comment by iExploder in "Ask HN: How much coding should beginners learn in the AI era?"

iExploder — Wed, 24 Jun 2026 21:03:35 +0000

depends on the industry .. for 80% of jobs 0 coding knowledge will be needed in 10 years.

for ai research, safety, aerospace, military, trading, gamedev .. those will probably still need coding for a bit longer.

I suppose one would have to work in a very specific novel and niche area to go against the grain and chose stacks that are not chosen by majority.

I suppose work organisation, leadership, soft skills, working in areas with inherent uncertainty will be key for defending employment in near future

They can be easily replaced. I suspect we are just engaging in a form of self deception by thinking these choices we make are more than arbitrary decisions driven by nothing but our taste...

> There is a clear multi-step skills roadmap everyone is following with expectations per role/department

interesting... I suppose this requires someone at the company actually knowing what the roadmap and desired end goal should be, I feel like exactly this is lacking in a lot of places right now

Ask HN: What is the AI adoption approach at your org?

iExploder — Sat, 13 Jun 2026 15:49:02 +0000

I use Claude daily and generally not a detractor to reasonable use of AI where it makes sense.

However, when executive pushes AI onto an org it can feel like being told what compiler/IDE to use by people who have no idea about engineering, maybe there is something I'm not seeing tho, so my question...

What is the situation in your org and how is AI adaption driven at your company? I wonder what the split between companies adopting engineering driven approach and pray and spray approach to AI adoption is...
