we have a lot of upper management using AI to write their messages now and it's pretty obvious. not sure how I feel about it.

You think you're learning things at a pace you never imagined, but all you're really doing is learning superficially. You never really go deep into things, and it "seems" like you're learning faster, but how much can you actually recall of the things you learned? By the way, I'm saying all this because this has been my experience. I can prompt like no tomorrow asking questions, but I forget most of it because it's not deep learning. I'm not actually thinking myself, I'm allowing the AI to think for me.

If it sounds too good to be true, then it usually is.

How do you use AI on a daily basis, and are there times when you don't?

It’s hilarious to me that when you stop investing in juniors and seniors who use your AIs retire, what are they going to do then?

I made a streak/goal tracker that tracks the things I want to work on like being more grateful, working out more, and learning.

yep, even people I thought educated voted for this fool. seriously, they have college degrees, but apparently get their news from random social media accounts

We should be able to do something around this problem. I don't know myself, but I know there's a lot of smart people on this site and if we all came together to work on something, surely there could be something we can do for this problem.

I use claude code on a daily basis, but honestly it becomes more annoying the more I use it. Why? I think because I ask it to do something and unless I'm extremely specific, either the code is verbose or the feature I'm designing is done in a poor way. For me, the productivity gains aren't that great and I'm even considering whether to go back to doing things by hand to save myself the frustration. Sure, if you don't care about code quality or scalability, it's a great thing to generate code. And yes, there are times when I don't, but for real projects, I actually do because I know as an engineer those things do matter in the long run. So, to be honest, I still haven't had that moment.

I disagree. There's cases where girls do better and cases where boys do better. This blanket statement is just as bad as saying that all men/boys are smarter than girls.

Bugs did exist, but bugs that come from AI generated code can be easily avoided if a good enough engineer designed it. Also, the rate at which AI generates code means that there's A LOT more bugs now than there used to be.

I read most of the article and came to the conclusion that if what they're describing is so revolutionary, then why do they still need to hire people? Why not just have these systems take full control?

Well, whether it’s a good piece or not is a different story, but I guess for me it makes me think at least time was spent on it, rather than most AI slop I see nowadays, but who knows, I can be wrong.

I personally don’t enjoy it. I want to read another human’s thoughts even if it’s filled with mistakes, because at least it’s not fake.

exactly! after a certain time, you get to a new normal and you want something new or better in life. nothing wrong with that though.

saadn92 — Fri, 29 May 2026 17:12:39 +0000

It comes down to perspective tbh. For someone who's worked hard labor throughout their life, the cushy tech job you get is actually worth doing forever. But for people who have never experienced that, I can see why retiring early makes sense, but honestly most of us get to work from home and do our jobs on the computer, which doesn't require much. It's still an amazing career to be in IMO

my guess is: the ENGINEERING problems they solve are harder, but they're still just video games at the end of the day, compared to something that solves an actual business need.

People also used to say that Google or calculators will make you dumber. Neither happened. Won't happen with this either.

New comment by saadn92 in "Ghostty is leaving GitHub"

saadn92 — Tue, 28 Apr 2026 20:08:07 +0000

Nothing stupid about caring deeply about tools that shaped your career. GitHub wasn't just a SaaS for a lot of us it was where we learned to build. The fact that you're emotional about it says more about how much you gave to that platform than anything else.

Ghostty will be fine wherever it lives because people follow the project and not where it's hosted. Best of luck!
