The problem is that you need to twist the cube

If you try to quit something, you need to be patient. Like really patient. You can't know what its like until you've given it a few years -- especially if you've been taking them since you were a child. A whole new world might await you if you can figure this bit out.

Well the answer is easy, don't vibe code then?

Maybe a lot of this comes down to people are having fun building stuff in a way they weren't before? But i imagine this will all die down.

I'm not being literal. Revolutionary technology arrives on the scene, is extremely visible, changes a whole industry and frankly creates an entirely new economy. All eyes on Anthropic.

They don't get enough credit for being right in the middle of a revolution, yet still managing to ship something that largely works incredibly well, because this thing is a workhorse.

Is it that, or is it just that every software developer, enterprise, dev and non-dev alike has their eyes on Claude Code as the most popular software project ever? Software in general has tons of bugs. People need to understand scale here, and what this looks like in practice. They're doing an incredible job given the circumstances.

Even clearer, if you don't adapt to the changes taking place in the field there might not be a future for you. Its not about age, it is about attitude and flexibility (which are, admittedly, issues when getting older).

In other words, if you want to continue stubbornly typing out code by hand, the person right over there has already mastered agentic tooling and is doing vastly more than you, more quickly, and with greater precision, and will simply be a more fit candidate to hire. Roles for this type of legacy stubborn personality will be less and less, and you will age out as part of the old school.

He just means: by this age you've probably found your preferred title and level, unless you want to rise to more C-level / executive positions, which are rarer in any case and most folks don't want.

It saves so much time! Think of the best find and replace and autocomplete and macro and every other possible super tool you use and roll everything into one. The design phase of any significant feature pales in comparison to all of the (now fully automated) tasks that you can just hand off to the agent to do nearly instantly and perfectly.

This is precisely why these types of articles don't make any sense to me, and strike me as case studies on human laziness. If you want good output, you'll review the output and iterate. If you want good foundations, you'll write them, and then later those foundations will prevent, to a very great degree, bad code from getting written by the LLM.

These articles frustrate me greatly. That said, the author's point about token cost is real, and a risk.

New comment by sibeliuss in "Ask HN: Why are companies so distrustful of remote employees?"

sibeliuss — Fri, 24 Apr 2026 01:39:33 +0000

As someone who works from home, and has for a long time, and would do it no differently -- and also as someone who has been up in the chain a bit and had an opportunity to look closely at things like productivity and other working patterns -- I can tell you that I've seen the most deeply unethical things, things that could never ever happen in an office. The whole "Quiet Quitting" movement, and just taking advantage in all kinds of ways. I've seen it again and again, particularly with younger employees.

If you are a remote work company and hire someone who is not passionate about what they do, they will, for certain, take advantage. And why wouldn't they? So it is easier to just lean on the side of caution, especially if the management chain isn't entirely on top of things (which is common, because everyone is busy).

New comment by sibeliuss in "The Vercel plugin on Claude Code wants to read your prompts"

sibeliuss — Thu, 09 Apr 2026 21:21:22 +0000

This thing is horrible.

If you have it installed, it will silently inject a warning into claude that you should use tailwind, even if your app is not! Then every single request will silently question the decision as to why yr app is using one thing, rather than another, leading to revisions as it starts writing incorrect code.

I couldn't believe it when I discovered it. For so many reasons I am vehemently anti Vercel. Just discovered this two days ago, after installing their frontend skill.

New comment by sibeliuss in "Improving my focus by giving up my big monitor"

sibeliuss — Fri, 03 Apr 2026 16:43:04 +0000

Cmd+Tab skills! But mainly, its a matter of only ever doing one thing at a time and optimizing for that in lots of little ways.

This "rule" is especially useful now that I'm coding primarily through agents. Secret weapon number 2, while everybody else is getting burned out running ten agents at once and producing slop, while I'm now writing more (and better) code than ever.

This was my secret weapon for years. My coworkers could never understand my focus and productivity and were always surprised when I said that it was due to working from a tiny laptop screen, and no more.

To appear as a strongman in the eyes of those in power, those who are clearly incapable of introspection. And by such moves he himself gains power.

His statements about this were purely politics, and nothing more. He himself does not believe this. It's political revisionism.
