I think the OG github copilot version felt magical in that time. But I've never tried working like that with current frontier models. Considering how they train it now it might never work without changes how model respond.

Ask HN: Are tab completion models dead?

I think there is still place for this type of coding where you autocomplete predictable chunks and review it as you go.

But I haven't seen much development in this space. Are there any notable models optimized for this task or full/semi-autonomous coding has taken over?

Not reviewing outputs, which is my main issue, is one-way to subpar experience. No amount of "make it right" will fix that.

I hope that professionalism still matters as these new ways of doing things strikes me as unprofessional as f...

Yeah, the next macOS will be worse... time to place bet on prediction market

Minecraft is becoming DOOM in terms of crazy technical feats.

I love it.

100%. I'm not really sure why we all agreed that deployment is somehow the hardest thing that you need to outsource when setting the linux server is one the richest experience you can get and it will pay dividents forever.

Programmers have ultimate (or they had) skill to solve anything if you have enough resources.

Now, you don't do thing and do other things when LLMs get stuck. There is no "given enough time I can do it".

I can't see how somebody would go solving slop bugs (slugs :)) in heavy AI generated codebase.

Hope, I'm wrong but that's somehing I personally encountered. Stay sharp.

Author here. I understand that you need to prompt in a way that is similar to training set.

It makes sense but it's still weird that your instructions to the machine needs to sound like talking to human. This is just side effect of how is the machine trained and constructed.

Can you treat AI as a tool?

> Pre-training is, actually, our collective gift that allows many individuals to do things they could otherwise never do, like if we are now linked in a collective mind, in a certain way.

The question is if you can have it all? Can you get faster results and still be growing your skills. Can we 10x the collective mind knowledge with use of AI or we need to spend a lot of time learning the old wayTM to move the industry forward.

Also nobody needs to justify what tools they are using. If there is a pressure to justify them, we are doing something wrong.

I'm in the exact same situation as the author.

It's not productive but hell it is rewarding to dive deep into lower levels.

No regrets so far.

New comment by sandruso in "What is the nicest thing a stranger has ever done for you?"

sandruso — Sat, 13 Dec 2025 18:25:40 +0000

I missed last train due to delays and there was a group of in the same situation. One nice person offered me to that I can sleep on their couch. And they were so nice to give me a ride to the station the next day.

I was so angry at first when I found out that this was my last train and I missed it but it turned out to be great story I can tell :)

Thank you strangers, I'll repay it back to somebody in the future
