I found it gets easier as you get older. Somehow I care much less what others think

If it takes longer to read, it's not an AI problem, but the author failing to catch that the comment is too drawn out. I don't see how it is a problem to have AI write a comment if you agree with the content. If it is bad content, it will eventually reflect badly on the author anyway.

New comment by stefap2 in "Ask HN: AI has changed my job for the worse"

stefap2 — Wed, 29 Oct 2025 16:36:55 +0000

I read what you say, but I can hardly imagine how people can be twice as productive. I use Claude daily for writing various scripts. It produces a lot of code, so yes, if I measured it by generated code, then it's productive. However, it works best for short, clearly defined tasks/scripts. If you want anything longer, you have to watch it like a hawk so it doesn't go off track. And I'm not sure if I would give this code to someone else to use without a thorough review. I would say it may be even less productive (I think there was a paper on that).

I also use LLMs for writing; it's good, but again, you need to carefully read everything and rewrite passages that are completely made up. So I'm not really sure how this can replace people, to the point that Amazon is firing 30,000 people. I have a hard time squaring it that it's because of AI.

Some 72% of responses by Gemini, Google's AI assistant, had significant sourcing issues, compared to below 25% for all other assistants, it said.

Issues of accuracy were found in 20% of responses from all AI assistants studied

New comment by stefap2 in "AI is making us work more"

stefap2 — Tue, 21 Oct 2025 21:17:50 +0000

When developers are allowed to use AI tools, they take 19% longer to complete issues—a significant slowdown that goes against developer beliefs and expert forecasts. This gap between perception and reality is striking: developers expected AI to speed them up by 24%, and even after experiencing the slowdown, they still believed AI had sped them up by 20%.

New comment by stefap2 in "Largest Mass Resignation in US History as 100k Federal Workers Quit"

stefap2 — Tue, 30 Sep 2025 19:22:18 +0000

What i have seen is that those who resigned had 20+ years experience and younger folks stayed. So it was a bit of a brain drain, at least from my limited interaction with the three letter agencies.
