<p>This is insane to me.<p>Not every engineering job is entry level or as simple as most fullstack crud. Deeper into industry you find highly specific well defined positions for a given domain. Soft skills matter more the higher the ladder but id take a killer senior who can be difficult over a team of mediocre staff engineers.</p>

<p>Some of us do work on web apps not websites. Two different things. Websites should not be web apps. Web apps should take advantage of links when possible.<p>The rigid mentality of everything in a browser must conform to some supercilious standard all to keep things “pure” I will never understand. We can have things like figma. It is ok for web apps to exist on the internet.</p>

<p>This is silly. Iirc there is a big dif between poaching people for ip and telling people to lie keep working download and physically steal ip.<p>Open ai is not a hero. Open ai is the kind of intellectual property theft and i hope the entire thing crashes and burns. There are plenty of other companies out there less disgusting that can work on foundation models</p>

<p>Can it be undone? One of the key aspects of any society is that it can in fact change law/policy/leaders/etc without war/rebels. yes harm happens when bad crap gets in but if the system still supports change, it is working.<p>For all the bad in trump era like roe vs wade among many others. The same mechanism are what allowed roe vs wade to exist. A double edge sword but better than alternative variants of totalitarian multi decade long regimes.</p>

<p>Woof. Back before rust was a thing in uni all the c++ guys shat on the newbies using java and not a real language.<p>The entire rust vs c++\c vs zig vs odin etc is so stupid. Like it is the same culture that has always been there in elitist systems language people. Meanwhile the vast majority of programmers are happily clacking away in python or js or elm or lua or whatever is getting the job done.</p>

<p>I experience it with everything including opus/fable.<p>Though my feeling, no proof, is that the opus/fable today is not what it was months ago. there was a time for about a month where opus was incredible. Just incredible but as fable started to move out i swear to god it feels like sonnet now. Fable feels like opus used to but costs more.</p>

<p>I never said ai was not useful nor that it cannot be used on small parts. The issue is size.<p>I think you are projecting other people on to me with is counter productive.<p>Slop and vibe coding are valid. It is specifically for describing crappy ai output.<p>You still did not give specifics which is usually the case when pushed on. I will give you some, when there are well over 20 languages that span multiple applications which all can depend on one another in same way, bazel builds from hell. Ya ai cant do it.</p>

<p>Ahh yes the “you’re holding it wrong defense”. Now i ask what enormous extremely complicated projects…excuse me by projects we mean real production software with real scale.<p>Sure, it can poke one system or another but even with opus and now fable, it very quickly hits the limit a limit that tracks very closely with context window.<p>This is to say that no amount of harness tool skill is going to cover that fundamental gap. If your change fits in context, good chance it will work.</p>

<p>It is called for and is substantiated. Should the guy get prosecuted over it? Probably not although a precedent is moving towards pushing and or telling someone to kill them selves constitutes some kind of criminal liability at least in the states.<p>Drug overdoses are so often a method of suicide it is almost laughable to use that as an argument to defend assholery. Some people are psychopaths and Kramnit screams like one. Zero empathy remorse or event the slightest drop of compassion.</p>
